The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4 is coming to Amazon Prime Video in 2026! Critical Role’s animated D&D epic is about to kickstart another adventure of world-ending proportions. Luckily, the whole cast is back in the saddle for another bout of high-stakes storytelling. If you’re eager to learn more about your favorite heroic fantasy series, this guide tells you everything we know about the Vox Machina season 4 release date so far.
We first got wind of a fourth season back in October 2024 when season 3 came to a close. Sam Riegel promised that “the gang will be back for more epic adventures next season” (though they might not all be playing the same DnD classes and DnD races as before). The cast later confirmed that Vox Machina has been renewed for a fifth and final season.
Here’s all you need to know about Vox Machina season four:

Is there a Vox Machina season 4 trailer?
A sneak peek at Vox Machina season 4 was released on July 25, 2025. You can watch Percy explaining an elaborate scroll heist in the video above.
If that’s not enough content to keep you sated, you can also watch the original announcement of Vox Machina season 4 below. It doesn’t offer any extra story hints or flashy visuals, but you do get to see the cast behind the show chat excitedly about its expansion:
Vox Machina season 4 cast
The core Vox Machina season 4 cast are:
- Liam O’Brien as Vax’ildan ‘Vax’ Vessar.
- Taliesin Jaffe as Percival ‘Percy’ De Rolo.
- Ashley Johnson as Pike Trickfoot.
- Matthew Mercer as Trinket.
- Marisha Ray as Keyleth.
- Travis Willingham as Grog Strongjaw.
- Sam Riegel as Scanlan Shorthalt.
- Wayne Brady as Taryon Darrington.
Taryon is a new addition to the Vox Machina crew. In the original Critical Role campaign, Taryon Darrington briefly joined up with Vox Machina while Scanlan was away on personal business. Taryon is a privileged Artificer, idealistic but with a good heart.
We first assumed that Riegel would voice Taryon, as he played the character in the original campaign. However, it was confirmed in October that Whose Line Is It Anyway? star Wayne Brady would replace Riegel. We’re assuming, then, that Scanlan (and Riegel) will have a more prominent role to play in the animated series, despite Scanlan’s absence in the campaign’s fourth arc.
A few other notable cast members have been announced. Comedian Tom Cardy, known for viral TikTok songs like Perception Check, is confirmed as a guest voice, though his character is unconfirmed. Kevin Michael Richardson, who voices Goro in 1995’s Mortal Kombat, Saverok in the original Baldur’s Gate game, and Dr Hibbert in The Simpsons, is also on board as an unconfirmed character, as is Mad TV’s Debra Wilson.
So far, the only guest star with a confirmed character is Sunil Malhotra, who plays returning character Shaun Gilmore.
Vox Machina season 4 plot predictions
In the closing scenes of season 3’s 12th and final episode, we saw the Vox Machina crew split up into groups, ready to head off on their own personal quests.
Scanlan and his daughter Kaylie were setting off on a planned world tour as a family. Vax meant to accompany Keyleth as she returned to the Fire Ashari for her ‘Aramenté’, and the newly coupled Percy and Vex were heading to Whitestone with Gilmore to spend Winter’s Crest with Lady Cassandra. Lastly, it looked like Pike and Grog were sticking together after all that, with plans unknown (beyond fucking shit up, of course).
Beyond that general parting of the ways, the S3 finale gave us one major clue as to what to expect next. The last few seconds showed us hooded cultists in a Ziggurat, chanting about sight, voice, heart, and blood – along with some distinctly summoning-esque magical lightning.
Fans of the original Critical Role campaigns already knew what that meant: the Whispered One, A.K.A. the copyright-safe version of Vecna, was on the horizon. July’s sneak peek trailer confirms that Vox Machina are on the trail of the elusive Whispered One in season 4.
Which Critical Role campaign will Vox Machina Season 4 be based on?
Vox Machina season four will likely be based on the fourth and fifth arcs of Critical Role’s first campaign. We don’t know this for sure, but we’re pretty confident in our estimate based on a few factors.
Firstly, we see Taryon Darrington in the reveal trailer. Taryon has his own 15-episode story arc in campaign one, where he temporarily joins Vox Machina for a series of side quests. These explore Vox Machina’s members in more depth, and, in season four, they’ll likely set up the cataclysmic storyline to come.
That storyline starts in campaign one’s fifth and final story arc, where The Whispered One makes his diabolical plans known. Vox Machina are uniquely suited to the job of thwarting the lich, and the resulting quests see them travel to Elysium, a volcano at the bottom of the sea, and an undead dwarven metropolis, to name but a few destinations – before facing off in an epic final fight.
Since we know that Vox Machina season 5 has been confirmed, we can expect the final story arc to stretch across seasons 4 and 5. That leaves us open to some devastating cliffhangers!
If you want to dive into the original Critical Role actual plays to get a feel for the storyline that might drive The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4, you can watch the whole fifth arc (over 60 hours of it) on YouTube – beginning with Critical Role Episode 100 above!
Who’s making Vox Machina Season 4?
The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4 is made by Titmouse Inc. For the unfamiliar, this is the LA-based animation studio founded in 2000 by Chris and Shannon Prynoski.
Chris and Shannon Prynoski are credited as executive producers on Season 4, as are all eight core cast members – along with Ben Kalina, Chief Operating Officer at Titmouse, and Brandon Auman, Vox Machina’s showrunner.
It brought us the previous Vox Machina seasons, so the studio is well-equipped to work on number four. However, it’s far from a one-trick pony. Titmouse has also worked on some of the world’s most famous animated shows, including Netflix series Big Mouth and Love, Death + Robots, Paramount’s Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Adult Swim sitcom Royal Crackers.
Will there be a Vox Machina Season 5?
Critical Role confirmed at San Diego Comic Con that there will be a fifth and final season of Vox Machina. Sam Riegel said that season four will set up the show’s endgame, while season five will show the explosive conclusion. We’re assuming that this means the battle against The Whispered One will span more than a single season.
