Prime Video’s 100% RT Fantasy Epic Returns With Flawless New Season

Prime Video's The Legend of Vox Machina returned for a fourth season, debuting on Jun. 3. Based on Critical Role's live-streamed Dungeons & Dragons game, the animated series features the original players — Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey, Marisha Ray, Ashley Johnson, Liam O'Brien — alongside a supporting cast that includes Stephanie Beatriz, the late Lance Reddick, Troy Baker, Ralph Ineson, Dominic Monaghan, LeVar Burton, Billy Boyd, Henry Winkler, David Tennant and Mark Strong.

Only four episodes are available so far, yet the show has already climbed the weekly streaming charts, ranking fifth most popular globally and fifth in the U.S., and placing seventh among new releases on Prime Video this week. Its rise stands out amid other high‑budget Prime Video fantasy projects that have faced backlash or run into trouble.

The series leans into its strengths: focused character work, an awareness of the limits and advantages of animation, and writing that was crafted first for the core fan base before opening up to casual viewers.
