The beloved Dungeons & Dragons show, Critical Role, featuring voice actors like Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey, and Travis Willingham, is set to conclude its thrilling Campaign 3 next week. The grand finale, an epic eight-and-a-half-hour stream, is scheduled to air on February 6 at 7pm Pacific / 10pm Eastern, which translates to February 7 at 3am for UK viewers. Fans can catch the action on Critical Role's YouTube and Twitch channels, as well as through their membership service, Beacon.
This final episode will wrap up the adventures of the Bells Hells party, which began its journey in October 2021. While no direct follow-ups for their story have been confirmed yet, Critical Role has promised that more tales from the expansive world of Exandria will continue to unfold.
"This finale for Campaign 3 marks the end of one very epic chapter of Exandrian history," said Marisha Ray, creative director and cast member. "But while we celebrate the end of this chapter, I think it’s important to know that the story continues with a simple turn of the page. I’m very excited to see what happens next in this story that remains to be written by the incredible emergent storytellers who are picking up the pen."
Despite the conclusion of Campaign 3, Critical Role's content calendar remains packed. A new spin-off, Exandria Unlimited, will kick off its four-episode mini-series on February 14, followed by a variety of other shows and streams.
As for the much-anticipated Campaign 4, Critical Role has yet to announce its start date. Historically, there's been a gap of a few months between campaigns, such as the transition from the first Vox Machina series ending in October 2017 to the Mighty Nein series beginning in January 2018, and then from Mighty Nein's end in June 2021 to the start of Campaign 3 in October of that year.
Fans eagerly await news of the next big adventure. With Critical Role celebrating its 10-year anniversary on March 12, this could be the perfect occasion for an announcement, if not the launch of the new series itself.
