With The Mighty Nein, the series adaptation of the second campaign of Critical Role, the team achieved an even greater success than with their first hit. The final episode of the first season was released just a week ago, but the continuation will not take long, as the team confirms.
What does Critical Role say about the second season of The Mighty Nein? In a conversation with ScreenRant, from which a clip was shared on Reddit, Critical Role discusses the current status of the second season of The Mighty Nein. The finale of the first season aired on December 22, 2025, and is less than a week ago at the time of this article.
The second season of The Mighty Nein is set to premiere in 2026, the same year as the final season of their first series hit “The Legend of Vox Machina”. The exact date you can expect season 2 is not yet determined. However, since the finale of Vox Machina will come out first, you can expect a release in late 2026, similar to their first season.
What Critical Role can and will reveal: The continuation is already in production and one to two episodes are already completely finished, as Sam Riegel (Nott from The Mighty Nein, Scanlan from Vox Machina) reveals (Source: Reddit).
Here you can see the trailer for the first season of The Mighty Nein on Amazon Prime with the original voices of Critical Role:
Critical Role promises “exciting revelations” in the coming months
What other information does Critical Role reveal about season 2? In the shared clip on Reddit, the team talks about the current status of the second season without giving away too much content.
Travis Willingham (Fjord from The Mighty Nein, Grog from Vox Machina, and CEO of Critical Role) promises that fans can look forward to “many exciting revelations” in the coming months and that they will love the direction the story is taking: “The second season will be quite a blast; the first season was just the setup.”
“We are working hard on the second season,” adds Sam Riegel. The team is working every day on animation shoots, close-ups, and dubbing. Everything should be finished next year, and they hope to be able to air their work directly then.
What does the team say about the end of the first season? Travis describes in the same conversation, which can be seen in the clip, how it will definitely continue after the end of the first season. So here we place a not-so-serious spoiler warning for the end of the first season of The Mighty Nein:
“We can exclusively reveal that Yasha is simply killed at the beginning of the second season. We each take a piece of her body and carry it across the dynasty. Then we build a Yasha mech and each of us controls a body part in Power Ranger style. This is a real twist from the original, but we believe the fans will agree.”
Sam quickly adds: “She’s full of chocolate!”
Here you can see two opinions from the editorial team about the two series from Critical Role, The Legend of Vox Machina and The Mighty Nein:
