The Mighty Nein

The Mighty Nein is an upcoming American animated television series based on the Critical Role campaign of the same name. 
It will stream on Amazon Prime Video and is produced by Critical Role, Metapigeon, Titmouse, and Amazon MGM Studios.

 Plot 
The show tells the story of a group of outsiders who come together by chance. 
They soon discover that the fate of a whole empire may rest in their hands. 
A powerful artifact, able to change reality, is at risk of falling into the wrong hands. 
Only this unusual team of criminals, wanderers, and broken souls can stop disaster. 
The story takes place in Exandria, especially in the war-torn continent of Wildemount. 
Politics, power struggles, and old rivalries push the heroes to their limits. 
The tone mixes humor, epic battles, and emotional conflict. 
Like The Legend of Vox Machina, the focus is on the bond between characters – but here with a darker, more mature style.

 Production

Each episode runs about 45 minutes.

 Reception 
The series is not yet released. 
Early reviews highlight its detailed animation, darker tone, and the authentic performances of the Critical Role cast.
