"'Vox' felt like such a natural fit with the animation slate we are building here. "We've seen so much critical and audience success with our animated slate," said Melissa Wolfe, head of animation and family programming at Prime Video, in an email to CNBC. A planned second season release date has yet to be announced. "The Legend of Vox Machina" debuted its first three episodes on Friday and will continue to dole out three new episodes each week for the next three weeks.
#VOX MACHINA ANIMATED SERIES#
It is the latest adult animated series to arrive on Amazon's Prime Video streaming service, fitting alongside the equally violent "Invincible," raunchy "Fairfax" and dark "Undone." When Amazon Studios picked up the series, it built on that record-breaking support by ordering an additional 14 episodes, bringing the total number of episodes to 24 across two seasons, which will stream exclusively on Prime Video.The series is based on Critical Role's first streamed Dungeons & Dragons campaign and follows the adventures of Vox Machina, a debaucherous group of mercenaries. The fan support allowed Critical Role to expand the special into a 10-episode season. They met their initial funding goal within minutes, and thanks to Critical Role’s passionate fanbase, the campaign continued to gain traction, raising over $11.3 million and becoming one of the most funded Film & Video projects in Kickstarter history. In 2019, they launched a Kickstarter campaign to produce a 22-minute animated special based on the characters and adventures of Vox Machina, Critical Role’s original livestreamed tabletop RPG campaign.
The Critical Role cast also serves as executive producers, alongside Brandon Auman ( Star Wars: Resistance), Chris Prynoski ( Metalocalypse), Shannon Prynoski ( Fairfax) and Ben Kalina ( Big Mouth).Ĭritical Role is a story-driven media company created by a group of nerdy-ass voice actors that started out sitting around a table together as friends creating epic stories.
The series stars Critical Role founders and cast members Laura Bailey ( The Last of Us: Part II), Taliesin Jaffe ( Final Fantasy XIV), Ashley Johnson ( The Last of Us), Liam O’Brien ( Star Wars: The Bad Batch), Matthew Mercer ( Overwatch), Marisha Ray ( Final Fantasy XV), Sam Riegel ( Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), and Travis Willingham ( Marvel's Avengers). The Legend of Vox Machina is a production of Amazon Studios, Critical Role, and Titmouse for Prime Video.
From a sinister necromancer to a powerful curse, the group confronts a variety of obstacles that not only test their skills, but also the strength of their bond. In a desperate attempt to pay off their mounting bar tab, these unlikely heroes end up on a quest to save the realm of Exandria from dark magical forces. Based on the beloved characters and adventures of Critical Role’s first livestreamed tabletop role-playing game (RPG) campaign, The Legend of Vox Machina is an animated fantasy-adventure series for adults that follows Vox Machina, a band of misfits with a fondness for boozing and brawling.
