Critical Role and Prime Video reveal First Look at New Animated series 'The Mighty Nein'

At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, the creators, executive producers and cast of Critical Role took to the Indigo Ballroom to greet fans and treat them with the first look at the highly anticipated Mighty Nein animated series coming to Prime Video.

Based on Critical Role’s second campaign, the Mighty Nein brings the action and adventure to the continent of Wildemount where a disparate group of would be and somewhat reluctant heroes join forces to fight not only their personal demons, the ghosts of their pasts, but also a growing threat that could mean war for the country.

The Mighty Nein follows a group of fugitives and outcasts, bound by secrets and scars. But when a powerful arcane relic known as “The Beacon” falls into dangerous hands, they must learn to work together to save the realm and stop reality itself from unraveling.

Executive producers and cast members Laura Bailey, Matthew Mercer, Marisha Ray, Liam O’Brien, Ashley Johnson, Taliesin Jaffe, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham took to the stage to not only showcase the new series, but also update Critters (Critical Role Fans) on what’s coming next for the heroes of Tal’Dorei in the upcoming fourth season of The Legend of Vox Machina.

The Mighty Nein will premiere on Prime Video November 19, 2025
