The Legend of Vox Machina Gets Season 3 Announcement
The Legend of Vox Machina fans have returned from the current New York Comic Con with a lot of positive news. Sam Riegel and Peter Habib performed an original song for the audience to get them back up to speed during a recap clip that was presented at a panel at the event featuring the series’ cast and executive producers. Season 2 releases in January 2023. The team also revealed that Vox Machina returns for a third season on Prime Video, promising new adventures.
Following Season 1’s resounding success, Amazon demonstrated a lot of faith in the popular Critical Role television series. Vox Machina, the beloved misfit crew of explorers featured in the Dungeons & Dragons series’ inaugural live-streamed campaign, was reintroduced to everyone in its first outing earlier this year. The series, which retold the Briarwood arc and included a prequel tale about their first significant mission together, won almost universal acclaim.

The show tells two main storylines
The first two episodes of The Legend of Vox Machina tell “an all-new story about the seven-member Vox Machina team at D&D Level 7 on their first “grown-up” mission, which occurs before Critical Role’s first RPG show.” It then adapts the Briarwood arc from the original web series, “in which the Vox Machina crew exact revenge on the villainous Lord and Lady Briarwood for murdering the rulers of the town of Whitestone and most of their kids.” Praise came from viewers and reviewers for its ability to capture both the epic feel of high fantasy and the more casual, chaotic nature that can accompany a friendly D&D session.
Due to the dragons present, the new footage immediately puts Vox Machina in jeopardy. With Season 2’s adaptation of the Chroma Conclave arc from the original Critical Role, we received the breathtaking sight of the chromatic dragons wreaking havoc on the city of Emon and sending the adventurers fleeing for their lives. Before the alarm goes off and everyone starts to panic, it almost has the feel of a horror sequence. With ominous music, the animals serves as the silhouettes swooping above the city. Their ability to freeze a number of guards and bring a tower tumbling down on the townspeople is only briefly glimpsed. It’s sufficient to establish them as a significant threat in the future season.
