Mighty Nein is a forthcoming animated fantasy series being produced by Metapigeon, Titmouse and Amazon Studios for Amazon Prime Video. The show will be based on campaign two of Critical Role. The show was announced in January 2023,[1] and work on the project had begun by the March.[2]

Premise[edit]

Setting[edit]

Mighty Nein is set in Exandria, a fictional world created by Matthew Mercer in 2012 for his personal Dungeons & Dragons campaign which then launched as the actual play web series Critical Role in 2015.[3][4][5] Most of the story takes place on the continent of Wildemount, which is located to the east of Tal'Dorei, the setting of The Legend of Vox Machina. It takes place at a time of very high tensions between the Dwendalian Empire and the Kryn Dynasty—two of Wildemount's major powers, which are divided by the Ashkeeper Peaks mountain range—and war is imminent.[6][7]

Western Wildemount is governed by the Dwendalian Empire and is ruled by King Bertrand Dwendal. A council of powerful archmages called the Cerberus Assembly act as advisors to the House of Dwendal. The Empire regards the region of Xhorhas, which occupies the eastern side of the continent, as an inhospitable wasteland. Xhorhas is governed by the Kryn Dynasty, is ruled by the Bright Queen Leylas Kryn, and is primarily home to the drow and other races considered to be monstrous.[8][9][10] The Menagerie Coast occupies the southwestern coastline next to the Lucidian Ocean and is governed by the Clovis Concord, a coalition of eight city-states that includes Nicodranas and Port Damali.[11][12]

The cast were involved in the character design process.[16] Cast member and executive producer Sam Riegel commented that Mighty Nein will be "tonally different" from their first animated adaptation The Legend of Vox Machina.[17] His costar and fellow executive producer Travis Willingham explained that this adaptation "is from the get-go a complete departure" and that "you're coming into the characters that you love, but a totally new story".[17]

Broadcast[edit]

The upcoming series is set to be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.[1][14][18]

Marketing[edit]

During 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, Amazon Studios released the first sneak peak of series with a voiced animatic showing Jester and Fjord meeting for the first time.[19][20][21]

Reception[edit]

Other media[edit]

  • Mighty Nein will be an adaptation of the second campaign of the web series Critical Role.[1] As part of a sponsorship deal between Critical Role and D&D Beyond in 2018, an animated ad spot for the platform was produced which featured the Mighty Nein characters in combat.[22] The animated ad "opened doors" for The Legend of Vox Machina (2022), the first Critical Role animation adaptation, to be produced.[23]
