Critical Role's The Legend of Vox Machina has lined up some major guest stars for its first season, with David Tennant, Stephanie Beatriz, and Tony Hale all on board to lend their voices.
Tennant will bring to life General Krieg, while Beatriz voices Lady Kima, and Hale takes on Sir Fince in Prime Video's upcoming animated series, which is based on Critical Role's popular D&D web series. Other members of The Council of Emon include Felicia Day as the Captain of Emon, Khary Payton as Sovereign Uriel Tal'Dorei, and Indira Varma as Lady Allura Vysoren.
They will be joined by several other supporting players, including Dominic Monaghan as Archibald Desnay, Gina Torres as Keeper Yennen, Sunil Malhotra as Gilmore, Stephen Root as Professor Anders, Grey Griffin as Delilah Briarwood, Rory McCann as Duke Vedmire, Kelly Hu as Dr. Anna Ripley, and Darin De Paul as Kerrion Stonefell.
The guest stars for the first season will be rounded out by Anjali Bhimani as Head Cleric, Eugene Byrd as Jarrett, Esmé Creed-Miles as Cassandra de Rolo, Bobby Hall aka Logic as Palace Guard, Max Mittelman as Desmond, Mason Alexander Park as the Tavern Keeper, Stacey Raymond as Bryn, and Tracie Thoms as the Everlight.
The core cast of Critical Role players from the live-streamed TTRPG series will reprise their D&D characters for the animated show, with Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Liam O'Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham returning to their roles alongside Matthew Mercer who will voice Sylas Briarwood and several minor characters.
The Legend of Vox Machina was originally intended to be an animated special, but the record-breaking Kickstarter fundraiser grew so large that the special also grew into an animated series, which was later picked up by Amazon. IGN previously spoke to some of the Critical Role cast about the Kickstarter's impressive success, and their excitement for the adaptation.
The first season of The Legend of Vox Machina will premiere on Prime Video on January 28, with batches of three episodes releasing every week, for four weeks. Amazon ordered two seasons of the animated series before the show had launched, meaning that a further 12 episodes will arrive at a later date to fulfil the second season.
