O'Brien also recently opened up to Radio Times about the long-awaited next season of The Legend of Vox Machina.
"It’s already breaking our hearts on this side," O’Brien told us just days before he brought Vax back – alongside the rest of Vox Machina – to London MCM and a live show at the O2.
"I can’t tell you where in the factory it is, but we’ve seen plenty up and running. It's beautifully, beautifully written and, I think, a really solid final chapter to our animated adaptation of Vox Machina's story. I think people are gonna love it."

The story of Vox Machina has always been a mixture of joy and pain, which O’Brien says is part of why it speaks so strongly to people.
"No one's life is sonnets every step of the way," he said. "We all stumble and make stupid mistakes in our lives and laugh ourselves silly. We pride ourselves on putting every colour of life into this show… There is a very tragic thread to the story of Vox Machina, but there is so much joy and love and fun and hijinks along the way, and we want all that."
