Mighty Nein Season 1 Release Date & Show Runtimes Explained

by

As a devoted Critical Role enthusiast, I’ve been fielding questions about the release date and runtime of the much-anticipated animated series, “Mighty Nein”. While it shares roots with The Legend of Vox Machina on Amazon Prime, think of it as an independent animated spinoff for the second campaign led by Critical Role. For those who are in the know, our live-streamed campaigns began midway through our home game, and the second campaign was a fresh start with new characters, paving the way for richer character development in this upcoming adaptation. Here’s when you can expect Mighty Nein Season 1 to grace your screens and an approximate length for each episode:

*Mighty Nein Season 1 Release Date:* The exact date is yet to be announced, but stay tuned as updates are sure to follow!

*Estimated Episode Runtime:* Each episode of Mighty Nein is expected to run approximately 45 minutes.

When does the Mighty Nein show come out?

On Amazon Prime, you can expect the premiere of the Mighty Nein animated series on November 19, 2025, with each episode running approximately 45 minutes in length.

Compared to The Legend of Vox Machina, which typically has 25-minute episodes across three seasons and around 12 episodes per season, the first season of Mighty Nein stands out with eight episodes, as reported by the Writers Guild of America West. This implies that the first season of Mighty Nein is likely to be longer in terms of runtime than a typical season of Vox Machina.

According to actor Sam Riegel’s remarks during an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the upcoming animated series featuring the Mighty Nein will offer the cast a chance to enhance their characters, settings, and storytelling methods, taking them to a higher level.

In contrast to the characters in The Legend of Vox Machina series, Travis Willingham, one of the cast members, revealed that the Mighty Nein characters will initially form as pairs and gradually unite as a group. Additionally, the first season of the show features interludes of Essek Thelyss, a dark elf wizard, performing questionable actions to offer viewers a glimpse into his past in the Kryn Dynasty before he encounters the main protagonists, providing a unique insight into his character development.
