Amazon Prime VideoWhen a powerful arcane relic known as 'The Beacon' falls into nefarious hands, a group of fugitives and outcasts, bound by secrets and scars, must learn to work together to save the realm and stop reality as they know it from unraveling.
The Mighty Nein elevates Critical Role's animated adaptations with a moodier tone, complex themes, and deeply flawed characters.Meanwhile, the main performers remain at the top of their game, pouring out wrenching vulnerability and cutting humor. It's also a boon that Exandria's architect, Matthew Mercer himself, assumes a more pronounced and refined role this time out as fan-favorite Essek Thelyss, an enigmatic, riveting, and sympathetic resident of the Kryn Dynasty.
Following the success of The Legend of Vox Machina, The Mighty Nein marks the second Critical Role campaign to be adapted for Prime Video. While both series spring from tabletop role-playing sessions, the tone of The Mighty Nein skews darker and more introspective. Caleb’s careful, deliberate approach to magic stands in contrast to his companions, whose spellwork may erupt with chaotic energy, primal ferocity, or comedic unpredictability.
