They said, “It’s so rare for any television series to get to tell a complete story, beginning to end, exactly as it was envisioned. We’re so grateful to our fans, the critters, our partners at Prime Video, and the original Kickstarter backers for bringing this show to life, and turning the numbskulls of Vox Machina into animation legends.”
The Legend of Vox Machina season 4 is expected to arrive on Prime Video sometime in 2026, with the final season following after that.
