Following a Kickstarter campaign that blew the hell the up to put in mildly, Critical Role’s animated series ‘The Legend of Vox Machina’ has been picked up by Amazon.
The Kickstarter campaign was used to create 10 episodes, but Amazon has requested an additional 14, which will be broken up into two seasons of 12 episodes each. Critical Role has an established relationship with Amazon, The show airs on its Twitch service to broadcast its live-action Dungeons & Dragons role-playing show.
Critical Role broke Kickstarter records, when it amassed $5.79 million in four days, on its way to a total of $11.39M.
“Critical Role blazed a new trail for original digital content, with fresh new voices and humor that earned devoted fans around the world, as evidenced by their wildly successful Kickstarter campaign, We’re thrilled to work with the whole team to bring ‘The Legend of Vox Machina,’ and new Critical Role series, to our Prime Video customers.” Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios
We slyly hinted towards sharing some really big news and today is the big day!
Our friends at Amazon have partnered with us to broadcast Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina exclusively on Amazon Prime Video! And that’s not all… This partnership has allowed us to create TWO ENTIRE SEASONS and an additional TWO episodes per season. That’s a total of 24 episodes of animated Vox Machina goodness that we cannot wait to share with you.
What’s more, Amazon is throwing their support behind the show, allowing us to improve on the quality of the animation, the score, the special effects – you name it. And with 24 episodes to play with, instead of just 10, we’ll not only complete the entire Briarwood storyline in the animated series, but we’ll forge ahead into other classic Vox Machina story arcs as well!
The first season of Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina is expected to air in late 2020. Kickstarter backers will still get Season 1 for free.
