The beloved Dungeons & Dragons show, Critical Role, featuring voice actors like Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, and more, is set to wrap up its third campaign next week with an epic eight-and-a-half-hour stream. Polygon reports that the grand finale will commence 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 on their exclusive membership platform, Beacon.
This final episode will bring the adventures of the party known as Bells Hells to a close, a journey that began in October 2021. Although no direct sequels or spin-offs have been announced for Bells Hells yet, Critical Role assures fans that more tales from the world of Exandria, the setting for all their campaigns, are on the horizon.
"This finale for Campaign 3 marks the end of one very epic chapter of Exandrian history," remarked Marisha Ray, who serves as both a 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. Just a week later, on February 14, viewers can dive into the first of four episodes of the new Exandria Unlimited mini-series. Additionally, a variety of other shows and streams are expected to follow.
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; for instance, the first Vox Machina series ended in October 2017, and the second Mighty Nein series kicked off in January 2018, concluding in June 2021 before Campaign 3 started in October of the same year. Fans might not have to wait long for the next big adventure, and with Critical Role's 10-year anniversary approaching on March 12, this could be the perfect occasion for an announcement, if not the launch of the new series itself.
