While the show is still in the early stages of its development, Jennifer Hale is already weighing in on potentially returning for the Mass Effect TV adaptation. Hale, a highly regarded voice actor, starred in the first three games of the sci-fi RPG franchise as the female version of Commander Shepherd, as the lead character came with both a male and female option for players to choose. Development on a Mass Effect adaptation began regaining steam after shifting to TV on Prime Video with F9: The Fast Saga's Daniel Casey set to write the show.

During a recent interview with Eurogamer, Hale was asked her thoughts on the in-development Mass Effect TV show. While the game star humorously acknowledged she would like to see FemShep made canon for the show, she was very eager about her interest to return to the franchise with the adaptation, while also explaining why...

Fantasy TV has been having a great decade, with a shocking number of amazing shows coming out in the 2020s, and some of them serving up the perfect villain. Villainy suits the fantasy genre particularly well. From the best historical fantasy TV to the dark fantasy and the satirical, this genre understands that there is something innately cartoonish about an evil demon lord taking over the world, which is often the underlying premise of a fantasy villain. World domination seems to be at the top of many villains' agendas, whether they are a Demon lord or not.

The best fantasy villain of all time, in any format, is probably the eponymous Sauron of The Lord of the Rings, but his influence has echoed down through books and movies since 1954. Some of the most powerful fantasy characters are otherworldly villains with supernatural powers,...

Critical Role's long-standing video game ambitions could be nearing fruition very soon. Back in 2015, Geek & Sundry launched Critical Role, an Actual Play streaming show featuring a cast of voice actors playing Dungeons & Dragons. The show became an internet phenomenon and eventually became a media empire, with Critical Role selling out stadiums and launching multiple successful animated television shows on Prime Video. Now, Critical Role is its own business, with a tabletop game studio working on a Dungeons & Dragons competitor, its own streaming platform, millions of fans known as Critters, and big plans for the future.

Speaking with Rolling Stone, Critical Role's cast spoke about their desire to make a video game. "The last few years we have been having necessary conversations to figure out how to do that smartly," said Critical Role CEO and cast member Travis Willingham. "It’s, you know, it’s an entire enterprise...

After 50 years creeping from the margins of popular culture into the mainstream, Dungeons & Dragons is now bigger than ever. Evolving beyond its roots as a pen-and-paper tabletop RPG (Ttrpg), D&d has inspired countless imitators, novels, movies, video games, and — most importantly — generations of storytellers and creators, who learned to broaden the scope of their imagination by playing the game.

It’s those storytellers now whose impact in the era of YouTube, Twitch livestreaming, and podcasting have reinvented Dungeons & Dragons for a new generation, capitalizing on the rise...

The Legend of Vox Machina is an animated series with three finished seasons available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, with a fourth on the way. The show is based on a series of Dungeons & Dragons sessions put on by the members of Critical Role, a group of voice actors who have spun their hang-out sessions into a media empire.

Because seasons 1, 2, and 3 of The Legend of Vox Machina each covered roughly 30 live Critical Role gameplay sessions, I expect season 4 to take us through episodes 73-100 or so. The Vox Machina campaign runs for 121 episodes in total. That means the creators and voice actors of Critical Role may be planning a fifth season to round out the story, or they could pack all the remaining episodes in season 4. We know they're working on a new animated adaptation of The Mighty Nein, the campaign they played after Vox Machina was finished.

Warning: this article contains spoilers for Season 3 of The Legend of Vox Machina.

In season 3, episode 4 of The Legend of Vox Machina, the devil Zerxus Ilerez hinted to his minion Yenk that Pike Trickfoot's blood was special, and one theory might explain why. Some extent of this power was shown later when she healed her team members and broke them out of Anna Ripley's hallucinogenic toxin not with the power of her faith in the Everlight, but with her own blood. This is a major change from the original campaign that will clearly have consequences in The Legend of Vox Machina season 4.

In the original campaign, Pike had some character development, and it did involve a crisis of faith. However, due to the professional commitments of Pike's player, Ashley Johnson, she didn't get as much screen time as the rest of Vox Machina. With The Legend of Vox Machina now...

Warning: this article contains spoilers for season 3 of The Legend of Vox Machina.The Legend of Vox Machina has changed quite a bit of the story of the rag-tag adventuring party when compared to the original stream from Critical Role, but the third season introduced some major twists with ramifications that still have yet to become clear. Some of these changes in The Legend of Vox Machina season 3 have been for greater emotional impact and some have been to help the flow of the story, but either way, The Legend of Vox Machina's 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes makes it clear these were changes for the better. So far though, none have been so sweeping as the changes to how Vox Machina acquired the Plate of the Dawnmartyr.

In the original stream, Vox Machina acquired the Plate by traveling to the City of Brass, the capital of the Elemental Plane of Fire.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Legend of Vox Machina season 3.

Season 3 of The Legend of Vox Machina saw multiple villains vanquished in the last few episodes, but the most fitting end for the show's longest-running villain was a missed opportunity. By The Legend of Vax Machina season 3's ending, three different villains were vanquished, and another either dead or banished. The dragons Thordak (Lance Reddick) and Raishan (Cree Summer) were slain, the demon Orthax (Matthew Mercer) was seemingly killed (but mostly likely simply permanently banished from their dimension), and human antagonist Dr. Anna Ripley (Kelly Hu) was dead.

In the case of Ripley, it was Vax (Liam O'Brien) and Vex (Laura Bailey) who tracked her down on her ship and ultimately ended her life after a visually stunning battle. Vex was the one who sent the kill shot straight through Ripley's heart, using the trick arrowhead that Percy...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Legend of Vox Machina season 3.

The Legend of Vox Machina season 3 dropped its final episodes of the season, delivering an emotional ending that set up season 4's new villain. The critical hit Legend of Vox Machina season 3 continued and closed out the Chroma Conclave arc first set up in season 1, with Vox Machina finally defeating Thordak (Lance Reddick), Ana Ripley (Kelly Hu), Orthax (Matthew Mercer), and lastly Raishan (Cree Summer), putting an end to multiple villains that have been antagonizing them for the past three seasons. But The Legend of Vox Machina has always been a show that has smartly balanced high-octane action with emotional weight and character moments, and season 3 was no different.

Multiple relationships took center stage in The Legend of Vox Machina season 3, none greater than the love story between Vex (Laura Bailey) and Percy (Taliesin Jaffe). The romance between Vax (Liam O'Brien...

“The Legend of the Vox Machina” cast members and creative producers Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel gathered at the tavern in Critical Role-Land to announce, ahead of the Season 3 finale, that Prime Video has renewed the animated series for a Season 4. All three seasons have achieved a +5 modifier for television shows — otherwise known as a 100 percent Rotten Tomatoes score.

Based on the Dungeons & Dragons series “Critical Role,” “The Legend of Vox Machina” animates the D&d campaign to bring it to full, fiery life — with the original campaigners reprising their roles. In Season 3, the Chroma Conclave’s path of destruction spreads like wildfire while the Cinder King hunts down Vox Machina. The lovable band of misfits must rise above inner (and outer) demons to save their loved ones, Tal’Dorei, and all of Exandria. Viewers can stream this week’s finale on Prime Video to see how this chapter will close.

“The Legend of Vox Machina” has been renewed for Season 4 at Amazon Prime Video.

The renewal announcement comes just ahead of the third season finale of the animated series, which drops on Prime Video on Oct. 24.

“We are beyond thrilled – and grateful – to continue the epic and wild adventures of Vex, Vax, Keyleth, Percy, Pike, Grog and everyone’s favorite character – Scanlan,” said executive producer Sam Riegel. “With each season, this show levels up, and we already have big plans to level up both our heroes and villains in Season Four.”

The official description of Season 3 states, “The Chroma Conclave’s path of destruction spreads like wildfire while the Cinder King hunts down Vox Machina. Our lovable band of misfits must rise above inner (and outer) demons to try and save their loved ones, Tal’Dorei, and all of Exandria. Viewers can tune-in this week on Prime Video to see how this chapter will close.

Anyone feeling ‘sus’ about the upcoming Among Us series adaptation can rest assured the show will feature all of the game’s fun and gore.

That’s according to Owen Dennis, who is creating and exec producing the popular mobile game’s transfer to TV screens. He lifted the lid on the project in an interview ahead of his session at Italy’s Mia Market today. Deadline is moderating the talk, which takes place at the Cinema Barberini in Rome.

Per the logline, the series is based on the game’s premise: “Members of your crew have been replaced by an alien shapeshifter intent on causing confusion, sabotaging the ship, and killing everyone. Root out the ‘Impostor’ or fall victim to its murderous designs.”

A splashy cast includes Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), Liv Hewson (Yellowjackets), Kimiko Glenn (Orange Is The New Black), Randall Park, Ashley Johnson, Yvette Nicole Brown and Elijah Wood.

Castlevania is an adult animated dark medieval fantasy action-adventure series created by Warren Ellis.

The core cast of “The Legend of Vox Machina” is pretty unique among voice actors, or actors of any stripe, really. It’s rare that an actor originates the concept for a character, lives with them for nearly a decade, improvises nearly 400 hours of material, and participates closely in the character design, scripting, and storyboarding of an animated series — all before they step into the booth to record their lines.

The Prime Video series (about a group of fantasy fuck-ups who might just be the heroes the magical land of Exandra needs) balances that wealth of experience that the “Critical Role” cast — Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Matthew Mercer, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham — all have with an adventuring party full of guest voices. Rachel House, Stephanie Beatriz, Gina Torres, and the late, great Lance Reddick, among others, all sub in for characters originally voiced...

The Legend of Vox Machina season 3 premieres October 3 on Prime Video, and Screen Rant had a fantastic time chatting with the creative minds behind the show. Fans are about to be plunged into a darker version of Exandria than they have previously experienced. While based on Matthew Mercer's Critical Role actual play campaign, the animated show continues to spread its wings and take liberties with its source material, though the presence of the original writers and cast ensures it always maintains its DnD-heavy spirit.

While The Legend of Vox Machina season 2 saw Vax (voiced by Liam O'Brien) give his life for his sister, he managed to be resurrected and converted into the Champion of Ravens. This doesn't stop his beloved Keyleth (Marisha Ray) from feeling the loss, however, or Vex (Laura Bailey) from feeling the guilt. But whatever inner demons and external rifts they undergo,...

The proliferation of tabletop gaming has become a godsend for entertainment. The rise of shows like Dimension 20 and The Adventure Zone helped to connect the dots between comedy and role-playing. After all, when actors and voice performers take center stage, these experiences become the ultimate manifestation of improv and off-the-cuff comedy. Basing The Legend of Vox Machina on an established series like Critical Role was a no-brainer in terms of plot.

The Legend of Vox Machina rises to the top of the gaming world through incredible animation and relatable stakes. In Season 3, the cast only further improves, and the brilliant storytelling again ups the ante. It’s a grandiose and epic story in all the right ways, assuring audiences that these characters can make brilliant stories forever. Amazon Prime continues to have a winner on its hands.

Almost all the major voice actors from The Last of Us video games have roles in HBOs TV adaptation, with some of them even reprising their original characters from the games. Video game adaptations have been notoriously disappointing because they usually have no respect for the source material. But HBOs The Last of Us is an exception because the creator of the franchise himself, Neil Druckmann, is one of the showrunners. This has meant that the TV series is passionately faithful to the games its adapting in more ways than just sticking to the story.

The third season of The Legend of Vox Machina is coming down the bend, and it's going to be a big one. This season will end the Chroma Conclave arc, which finds our band of misfit heroes facing down a conspiracy of dragons, and launch the franchise to new heights. "Season 3 is going to leave a mark," star Travis Willingham (Grog) told Entertainment Weekly. "It is going to test individual characters; it's going to test relationships, both familial and of a romantic variety; but it's also going to start to show the lines of division in this tight-knit family that is really starting to feel the pressure of the world and things even beyond the realm of Exandria. This is the first season where not everything is going to be the same at the end in the way that it started."

In June of 2020, Naughty Dog released The Last of Us Part II, the follow-up to their tremendously popular zombie survival game The Last of Us. This was pretty soon after the Covid lockdowns began, and I guess everyone was very cranky, because there was an enormous online backlash to the game after it released, with many fans upset over some of the twists and turns in the story.

I'm not going to spoil what those twists and turns are right now, but they involve a new character named Abby Anderson, to be played by Kaitlyn Dever in the upcoming second season of The Last of Us HBO adaptation. To put it mildly, some fans loathed Abby at the time the game came out, and apparently HBO is afraid enough of a repeat that it hired extra security for Dever on the set of the show.

That's according to actor Isabela Merced,...

HBO/Max has released the first official teaser for the second season of The Last of Us, and in addition to featuring some shots that should be very familiar to fans of the second video game, it gives us a first look at several new characters, including Jeffrey Wright as the villainous Isaac and Kaitlyn Dever as Abby Anderson.

We only catch a couple of brief glimpses of the young woman who will go on to become Ellie's (Bella Ramsey) nemesis, but the shots of Abby crawling through the snow while infected attempt to get tear through a chain-link fence suggests that season 2 will stick pretty close to the game when it comes to certain events.

We also see Joel (Pedro Pascal) being asked if he hurt Ellie in season 1 by Catherine O'Hara's (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) mysterious character, to which he tearfully replies, "no... I saved her."

HBO unveiled a 24-second teaser this week offering viewers an early glimpse at the emotional journey ahead in the highly anticipated second season of The Last of Us. Clocking in at just under 30 seconds, the impactful clip wastes no time showcasing pivotal moments adapted faithfully from the acclaimed video game sequel.

Ellie’s troubled tenure in the settlement of Jackson kicks off proceedings, with Pedro Pascal reprising his role as Joel in a charged exchange where he defends rescuing Ellie from the fate of developing a cure. Kaitlyn Dever also enters the fray as Abby, out for revenge after Joel’s deadly actions. New cast including Gabriel Luna and Isabela Merced will bring additional complex characters to the forefront.

I saved her.

Anjali Bhimani teams up with Petco Love for charity stream Puppy Roll with a star-studded cast playing as their furry friends. Petco Love helps shelters and reunites lost pets with families, making it the perfect charity to partner with for The Puppy Roll. The charity stream, set for August 20, will be a fun, silly, and heartwarming way to raise funds for a good cause with furry adventurers.

Anajli Bhimani has teamed up with Petco Love to run her first charity stream, The Puppy Roll. Bhimani took her first spin at Game Master with the Lego D&d game and has caught the bug. Now the Critical Role mainstay is returning as Game Master with a star-studded cast of friends who will each play their own pet in a fantasy adventure, but because they are four-legged heroes, they'll face more hurdles than most.

The cast includes Aabria Iyengar, Matt Mercer, Ashley Johnson,...

This article contains plot spoilers for Critical Role “Campaign Three: Bells Hells.”

Critical Role’s current campaign, “Bells Hells,” isn’t the first time that inner-party conflict has come up for the cast. Beuregard (Marisha Ray) and Caleb (Liam O’Brien) fought over a magical bowl in The Mighty Nein campaign. Scanlan (Sam Riegel) left Vox Machina for an entire year. But where Bells Hells stands out above the rest is just how often its zany cast of characters find themselves at odds with one another, and how both the cast and the characters handle the conflict.

Bells Hells is certainly the most eclectic group of adventurers that the Critical Role cast has portrayed, and if you’ve kept up with the show for any amount of time, you know that that means this group is really out there. There’s Fresh Cut Grass a.k.a. Fcg (Sam Riegel), an...

After releasing an animated series, the cast has also launched the Beacon platform and continues to expand their projects. They have exciting plans for the future, including potential new series and collaborations.

Critical Role began as a group of "nerdy ass voice actor" friends sitting around a table playing Dungeons & Dragons together once a week and has grown into an entertainment empire. Critical Role is in the heat of its third campaign going into the 101st episode and has expanded into novels, graphic novels, and so much more. Critical Role has also expanded through countless other companies under their umbrella, including Darrington Press, their game publishing company, Metapigeon LLC, their production company, and Scanlan Shorthalt Music, their record label.

HBO's loyalty to its actors is evident in The Last of Us' casting, with many familiar faces from other HBO shows making appearances. Pedro Pascal brings a softer side to Joel in The Last of Us, showcasing emotionality and vulnerability alongside his badassness. Bella Ramsey captures Ellie's spirit effectively in The Last of Us, drawing on their Game of Thrones experience to play the role authentically.

From Game of Thrones Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey to The White Lotus Murray Bartlett, pretty much every major actor from The Last of Us had worked with HBO before. Once an actor is in the HBO family, the network tends to keep bringing them back. The Leftovers Carrie Coon was cast in The Gilded Age. The Wires Robert Wisdom was cast in Barry. Sharp Objects Sydney Sweeney was brought back for Euphoria and The White Lotus. Danny McBride has created and starred in Eastbound & Down,...

This article contains spoilers for the first episode of Critical Role: Downfall.

The fall of the ancient Exandrian city of Aeor has long been one of Critical Role’s biggest mysteries. A society from the Age of Arcanum that sought to destroy the Gods, and almost succeeded before the Gods themselves struck the floating city from the sky, condemning its wreckage to the icy wastes of Eiselcross. Now, as a sort of side quest in the Bells Hells campaign, we finally get to see a glimpse of how Aeor fell in the three-part series Critical Role: Downfall.

Helmed by Game Master Brennan Lee Mulligan in place of Matthew Mercer, the cast in this story are not playing the mere mortals of Aeor who sought to become more powerful than the divine, but rather the divine themselves in avatar form sneaking aboard the floating city to stop them. Who exactly their...
