Critical Role fans, you can watch the first episode of The Mighty Nein on YouTube

By Eric November 17, 2025

Critical Role fans are in for a treat as the highly anticipated first episode of *The Mighty Nein* is now available for free streaming on YouTube. This marks an exciting moment for fans of the beloved tabletop RPG series, as *The Mighty Nein* is set to premiere on November 19 as Critical Role’s second animated series with Prime Video, following the success of *The Legend of Vox Machina*. While both series are set in the fantastical world of Exandria and feature a diverse cast of characters, *The Mighty Nein* promises to delve into darker themes and longer episodes, distinguishing itself from the more lighthearted and raunchy tone of its predecessor. However, fans can still expect the signature humor, including the occasional “dick joke” that has become a hallmark of Critical Role’s storytelling.

The first episode, titled “Mote of Possibility,” introduces viewers to three of the main characters: the disheveled wizard Caleb Widogast (voiced by Liam O’Brien), the heavily intoxicated goblin Nott the Brave (voiced by Sam Riegel), and the hotheaded Cobalt Soul monk Beauregard Lionett (voiced by Marisha Ray). These disparate individuals find themselves intertwined amidst a brewing conflict between the Kryn Dynasty and the Dwendalian Empire. The episode kicks off with a thrilling wizard heist targeting the Luxon Beacon, a powerful artifact that sets the stage for the unfolding drama. This high-stakes inciting incident not only showcases the series’ blend of magic and brutality but also establishes the character dynamics that will drive the narrative forward.

With the first three episodes of *The Mighty Nein* set to debut on November 19, followed by weekly releases every Wednesday, fans are eager to see how this new series will expand the Critical Role universe. As the characters navigate their tumultuous journeys, viewers can anticipate a rich tapestry of storytelling that combines humor, adventure, and the intricate lore that has captivated audiences since the inception of Critical Role. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the series, *The Mighty Nein* promises to deliver an engaging experience that will resonate with audiences looking for both action and emotional depth in their animated content.
