According to Collider, Prime Video's beloved animated fantasy series The Legend of Vox Machina has an official return date: June 3. The announcement confirms what fans of the Critical Role source material have been eagerly waiting to hear.
Why This Matters for the Fancasting Community
Vox Machina is one of those rare properties where fancasting has a genuinely layered dimension. The show already has its voice cast locked in — the original Critical Role players reprise their roles — but the animated format opens up a different kind of dream-casting conversation entirely. Every new season introduces fresh characters from the beloved Dungeons & Dragons campaign, which means a rotating roster of guest voice roles and new additions to the ensemble. Season 3 is expected to push deeper into the campaign's most dramatic arcs, and that means new faces (and voices) entering Exandria.
For Critical Role fans who have spent years imagining live-action versions of these characters, the show's return is also a perennial reminder: a live-action Vox Machina adaptation is never entirely off the table as a conversation. That alone keeps the fancasting fires burning.
What myCast Fans Are Saying
The myCast community has already been busy building out their dream casts across multiple stories for the series. The most active is the The Legend of Vox Machina story, which covers 12 roles and has drawn early votes from fans staking their claims. So far, Ryan Potter has picked up a vote for the brooding rogue Vax'ildan, which is a genuinely intriguing choice — Potter has the physicality and emotional range that the half-elf assassin demands. Over in the Percy de Rolo slot, someone has thrown a vote behind mgk, which is exactly the kind of wild-card pick that makes fancasting so much fun to debate. And for the menacing Lord Sylas Briarwood, Xavier Samuel has an early vote — a choice that leans into his ability to play dangerous charm.
A second fan-cast story, The Legend of Vox Machina, offers a more fully fleshed-out roster of suggestions worth digging into. The picks here skew toward prestige television veterans and fan-favorite character actors. for Lord Sylas Briarwood is a nomination that practically casts itself — his ability to project aristocratic menace is unmatched. Paired with as the calculating Delilah Briarwood, that would be one of the most formidable villain duos imaginable. On the hero side, as Percy de Rolo feels almost cosmically correct — Percy's wit, trauma, and theatrical flair map perfectly onto what Tennant does best. Meanwhile, as Grog Strongjaw is the kind of casting that sounds like a joke until you actually think about it, and then it sounds completely inevitable. landing in the Vax'ildan slot also carries real weight — Paul's gift for quiet intensity and moral conflict is exactly what the character calls for.
