Fans of Critical Role finally got their first look at The Mighty Nein, the new animated series based on the show’s second campaign. Amazon Prime Video released the trailer during New York Comic-Con, building excitement for the series’ debut on November 19th.

The show features familiar voices from the original Vox Machina campaign, including Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey, Marisha Ray, Liam O’Brien, Ashley Johnson, Taliesin Jaffe, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham. While the story centers on a new group of characters, the humor and energy feel very much like the first series.

Several notable guest stars will appear in the series. Academy Award winner Anjelica Huston joins the cast, along with Lucy Liu, Nathan Fillion, T’Nia Miller, Felicia Day, Graham McTavish, and Ivanna Saknho. Their performances promise to add depth and excitement to the show.
