What Makes This Different?
Unlike The Legend of Vox Machina, which features 25-minute episodes, The Mighty Nein episodes run approximately 44 minutes each—double the length. This extended runtime allows for deeper character development and more intricate storytelling, giving the ragtag group of misfits room to breathe.
The series follows seven outcasts as they unite against a powerful threat called “The Beacon”—an arcane relic that could unravel reality itself. Set 20 years after The Legend of Vox Machina, the show explores darker themes with a more grounded, Eastern European-inspired aesthetic.

FAQs
Will there be more than 8 episodes in Season 1?
No, Season 1 is confirmed at eight episodes. However, the cast revealed they’ve already recorded material for two full seasons, though Season 2 hasn’t been officially announced yet.
Do I need to watch The Legend of Vox Machina first?
Not necessarily. While both series exist in the same world (Exandria), The Mighty Nein tells a standalone story set on a different continent. However, watching Vox Machina will enhance your understanding of the world’s lore and magic system.
