The beloved Dungeons & Dragons show, Critical Role, featuring voice actors like Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey, and Travis Willingham, is set to conclude its Campaign 3 with a grand finale. This special eight-and-a-half-hour stream will air on February 6 at 7pm Pacific / 10pm Eastern, and February 7 at 3am for UK viewers. Fans can catch the episode on Critical Role's YouTube and Twitch channels, as well as through its membership service, Beacon.
This finale marks the end of the Bells Hells adventuring party's journey, which began in October 2021. While no direct sequels or spin-offs have been announced for their story yet, Critical Role assures fans that more tales from the 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 regular programming will continue uninterrupted. A new Exandria Unlimited mini-series is set to debut its first of four episodes on February 14, and other shows and streams are expected to follow.
As for the highly anticipated Campaign 4, Critical Role has yet to announce its start date. Historically, there's a gap of a few months between campaigns; for instance, the first Vox Machina series ended in October 2017, and the Mighty Nein series began in January 2018, followed by Campaign 3 in October 2021 after the Mighty Nein's conclusion in June 2021. Fans might not have to wait long for news on the next chapter, especially with Critical Role's 10-year anniversary approaching on March 12, which could serve as an ideal occasion for an announcement or even the start of the new series.
