The Mighty Nein (2025): Critical Role’s Most Chaotic Heroes Are Here to Save the Realm

“Which is it – The Mighty Nein or The Sensual Seven?”Whatever you call them, Exandria’s most dysfunctional heroes are crashing into your screens this fall. From the creative powerhouse behind The Legend of Vox Machina, The Mighty Nein is the next epic animated fantasy series from Critical Role, streaming exclusively on Prime Video starting November 19, 2025.

🎲 From Misfits to Legends: What Is The Mighty Nein?

Set in the richly imagined world of Exandria, created by Matthew Mercer, The Mighty Nein follows a chaotic group of fugitives, criminals, and outcasts—each carrying secrets, scars, and some serious magical baggage. But when a powerful arcane relic called The Beacon is stolen, this crew of unlikely companions is all that stands between their world and total unraveling.

“Saving the world wasn’t part of the plan. But then again... neither was trusting each other.”

⚔️ Meet the Mighty Nein

The same brilliant cast that brought this band of misfits to life in the original Critical Role campaign returns to voice their iconic characters, including:

• Laura Bailey as Jester Lavorre, the mischievous tiefling cleric who follows an invisible god and spreads joy (and chaos).

• Marisha Ray as Beauregard Lionett, a human monk and investigator with fists and facts.

• Taliesin Jaffe as Mollymauk Tealeaf, a flamboyant tiefling blood hunter with secrets inked into his skin.

• Ashley Johnson as Yasha Nydoorin, the haunted aasimar barbarian from the wilds of Xhorhas.

• Liam O’Brien as Caleb Widogast, a fire-wielding wizard with a tormented past.

• Travis Willingham as Fjord Stone, a warlock sailor with a mysterious patron and a salty sense of justice.

• Sam Riegel as Nott the Brave, a goblin rogue with a talent for stealth and a fondness for strong drink.

• Matthew Mercer as Essek Thelyss, a drow wizard pulling strings in the shadows between empires.

🗺️ Welcome to Wildemount: A Realm on the Brink

The series unfolds in Wildemount, a continent divided by politics and prejudice. The Dwendalian Empire rules the west, while the Kryn Dynasty commands the east. Between them lies tension, mistrust—and war.

This backdrop of political intrigue, magical warfare, and ancient secrets creates a perfect storm for the Mighty Nein to stumble into a destiny they never asked for.

🎬 Animation Meets Adventure: A Team That Delivers

Brought to life by Titmouse, the animation studio behind The Legend of Vox Machina, The Mighty Nein promises stunning action, sharp humor, and emotional depth.

With Tasha Huo (Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft) as showrunner and executive producers including the entire Critical Role cast, this show has the same high energy, gorgeous visuals, and narrative heart fans have come to love.
