The Legend of Vox Machina season 4 release date speculation, latest news

Inspired by a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, The Legend of Vox Machina is a series that follows the titular band of adventurers as they battle monsters, uncover mysteries and work through a lot of character-focused drama that leads to sex, drugs and, when things are spicy, some of the most heart-wrenching moments we've seen on TV.

But don't worry, there are plenty of comedic moments along the way, too.

The season 3 finale is now available to stream on Prime Video. With season 4 officially confirmed, the only question that remains is when we will be able to see it on our silver screens. Read on to find out everything we know about The Legend of Vox Machina season 4 so far.

The Legend of Vox Machina season 4 release date speculation

Thanks to IGN's Critical Role 2025 panel, we do know that The Legend of Vox Machina season 4 is being worked on. But the release date has not yet been confirmed. That said, we speculate that it should arrive sometime in spring 2026.

While the gap between seasons 1 and 2 was only a year, this is because the two chapters could be developed simultaneously, following a record-breaking Kickstarter campaign and an early renewal from Amazon.

Alas, the wait for season 3 was considerably longer, spanning one year and eight months, and it's quite possible we could have a similar hiatus on our hands if the show moves forward once again.

Prime Video is home to some impressive, but not particularly frequent, animated shows, with Invincible proving to be an extreme case, as it left almost three years between its first and second seasons.

However, there's also another Critical Role series in the works by the name of Mighty Nein – the second campaign the gang ran after The Legend of Vox Machina. It was announced last year that it would be picked up as a series and we haven't heard much since – but we're safe in the knowledge that there's lots more Critical Role goodness coming soon.

Before the season 4 announcement, cast member and executive producer Travis Willingham had already expressed interest in bringing the show back.

"We were thrilled to receive a season 3, and we took the extra runway to make sure that we could get as much of this story in there as we can," he told RadioTimes.com.

"But you know, if people tune in and we continue to thrill audiences, then I hope we get to tell this story for as long as they will give us.

"So I guess people just have to tune in and we'll see how we do."

Who could be in The Legend of Vox Machina season 4 cast?

We'd expect the main cast to return for The Legend of Vox Machina season 4.

Here's a refresher on the key players:

• Laura Bailey as Vex'ahlia "Vex" Vessar
• Taliesin Jaffe as Percival "Percy" Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III
• Ashley Johnson as Pike Trickfoot
• Matthew Mercer as Trinket
• Liam O'Brien as Vax'ildan "Vax" Vessar
• Marisha Ray as Keyleth of the Air Ashari
• Sam Riegel as Scanlan Shorthalt
• Travis Willingham as Grog Strongjaw

However, this isn't confirmed, and the events of the season 3 finale have made us wonder if we might see some absences from Vox Machina going forward.

At the end of the season, our gang went their separate ways with Scanlan in particular announcing his departure from Vox Machina to spend more time with Kaylie. Could a reunion be on the cards or will we see a smaller Vox Machina from now on? Alternatively, Riegel could be returning as another character entirely, just as he did during the live-play of campaign 1. It's all up in the air.

What could happen in The Legend of Vox Machina season 4?

Season 3 gave us a major clue as to what will happen in season 4 – and it's all to do with The Whispered One.

Vecna is a major villain in the role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons. His title, 'The Whispered One,’ is the copyright-friendly term for the character used in Vox Machina, considering this isn’t an officially licensed Wizards of the Coast property.

This terrifying villain is the major antagonist in the fifth and final arc of the Vox Machina campaign, proving the final – and almost unbeatable – big bad.

We'd expect season 4 to potentially skip the fourth arc featuring Taryon Darrington in favour of a battle with the iconic villain.

Is there a trailer for The Legend of Vox Machina season 4?

Not yet! But you should check out the announcement video for season 4:

The Legend of Vox Machina seasons 1-3 are available to stream on Prime Video.
