Prime Video’s Best Fantasy Show Is Back With a Spinoff Soon (& It’s Likely to Surpass It)

by

In recent years, Prime Video has become a source for captivating fantasy series. Now, a spinoff of their most successful show is coming this month, and it has the potential to become the platform’s biggest hit in the genre. After Game of Thrones concluded in 2019, many streaming services searched for the next popular fantasy series. Prime Video offered promising options like The Wheel of Time and The Rings of Power, though they received mixed reactions. While the platform released a particularly strong series in 2022, it hasn’t yet reached a wide audience.

While the show’s future isn’t completely certain, there’s still potential for things to change. Plus, a new spin-off series is coming to Prime Video in November 2025, which could attract even more viewers. Considering other Prime Video fantasy shows have been canceled or haven’t resonated with fans – like The Wheel of Time, My Lady Jane, and even Rings of Power – The Legend of Vox Machina clearly stands out. With two seasons still to come, it’s currently the platform’s strongest fantasy offering, and the upcoming spin-off might even become more popular.

The Legend Of Vox Machina Is Underrated, But It’s Prime Video’s Best Fantasy Show

Even if you haven’t heard of it, The Legend of Vox Machina is a fantastic fantasy series – and arguably the best one available on Prime Video. Based on the first campaign of the popular web series Critical Role, the show immerses you in the world of Exandria, which is under attack by five dangerous dragons known as the Chroma Conclave. A group of lovable underdogs must rise to the occasion and save their world, and their adventure is packed with laughs, thrilling action, and genuine emotion.

Even with a large cast of characters and a complex political setting, The Legend of Vox Machina tells its story remarkably well without feeling confusing. This is especially impressive considering each episode is only about 30 minutes long. Viewers quickly become invested in both the personal struggles of the main characters and their overall quest. The show strikes a great balance between lighthearted comedy and emotional moments, creating a viewing experience that’s both hilarious and deeply moving. Strong action sequences and rich storytelling further enhance the quality, making the upcoming spinoff series a must-see.

The Legend Of Vox Machina’s Mighty Nein Spinoff Is Coming To The Streamer This Month

While The Legend of Vox Machina needs a couple more seasons to fully establish itself as a top fantasy show on Prime Video, fans have a new adventure coming soon. The Mighty Nein, based on Critical Role’s second campaign, premieres November 19th. This spinoff will build on the world of the original series, set later in the timeline on a brand new continent. According to creators on X (formerly Twitter), The Mighty Nein will have a different feel and a bigger story, but it will still appeal to fans of Vox Machina. Naturally, dedicated Critical Role followers won’t want to miss it.

Following the success of The Legend of Vox Machina, a new animated series, The Mighty Nein, will explore the adventures of another group of unlikely heroes. This new team is even more complex and their motivations are less unified than those in the original series, offering a fresh dynamic. While a departure from what viewers may expect, this change could lead to an even more compelling story. Based on previews and the first episode (available on YouTube until November 16th), The Mighty Nein appears poised to surpass its predecessor in quality.

The Mighty Nein Is Already Poised To Top The Original Series

The new series, The Mighty Nein, is already proving to be quite different from The Legend of Vox Machina, and it’s delivering on the promises made by Travis Willingham and Sam Riegel. The first episode introduces a much more complex political world than we saw in the previous show. It also focuses on introducing each character individually, as they all come from unique backgrounds and have their own stories to tell. The series seems to be prioritizing character development, especially with characters who are flawed and unpredictable, which makes for a very promising start.

The first episode of The Mighty Nein is full of action, suggesting the rest of the season will be exciting. With longer, 40-minute episodes, the show can effectively handle its large cast and complex storylines. Plus, The Legend of Vox Machina has already built a strong fanbase, creating a lot of anticipation for this November’s release. All these factors point to The Mighty Nein potentially becoming Prime Video’s best fantasy series, and hopefully, it will be recognized as such.
