⚔️The Mighty Nein (2025): The Outcasts Return to Save the Realm — Release Date, Cast, Plot & Where to Watch on Prime Video

"They’re still figuring this whole ‘saving the realm’ thing out."

The realm of Exandria is once again on the edge of chaos — and this time, a band of fugitives, misfits, and unlikely heroes must step up to stop reality itself from unraveling. 🌀 The Mighty Nein, the next chapter in the Critical Role universe, crash-lands exclusively on Prime Video on November 19, 2025.

🌍 Welcome Back to Exandria

From the creators of The Legend of Vox Machina comes a new saga filled with humor, heart, and heroics. The Mighty Nein is set 20 years after Vox Machina’s legendary tale, diving into the politically divided continent of Wildemount, where two great powers — the Dwendalian Empire and the Kryn Dynasty — teeter on the brink of war.

When a mysterious and powerful relic known as The Beacon falls into the wrong hands, a group of outcasts must rise above their pasts to prevent the destruction of their world. Bound by secrets, scars, and second chances, this chaotic team of heroes is the last hope for a realm that’s running out of time.

🎭 Meet The Mighty Nein

Returning from the hit Critical Role campaign, the iconic cast brings life, magic, and mischief to their beloved characters:

• Laura Bailey as Jester Lavorre, a trickster tiefling cleric guided by her mysterious deity, The Traveler.

• Marisha Ray as Beauregard "Beau" Lionett, the sharp-tongued monk of the Cobalt Soul.

And joining them — Lucy Liu as Empress Leylas Kryn, the radiant Bright Queen of the Kryn Dynasty.

🌀 A Relic of Power, A World on the Brink

At the heart of The Mighty Nein lies The Beacon, an arcane artifact capable of bending time and space. When it’s stolen, the fragile peace between nations fractures, and our heroes must navigate a labyrinth of betrayal, prophecy, and war to save everything they hold dear.

The story blends dark humor, high-stakes fantasy, and deep emotion — exploring the themes of redemption, found family, and the eternal struggle between destiny and choice. As one of the Nein quips mid-battle, “We might not be heroes… but we’re what this realm’s got.”

💥 From Tabletop to Television: A Critical Role Evolution

Produced by Metapigeon, Titmouse, and Amazon MGM Studios, The Mighty Nein continues the success of The Legend of Vox Machina — but with a darker, more mature tone.

This new animated saga is helmed by showrunner Tasha Huo (Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft), alongside executive producers Chris and Shannon Prynoski, and the legendary Critical Role cast themselves.

The series promises breathtaking animation, intricate storytelling, and a soundtrack as epic as the battles it scores.
