Is October The Right Time To Bring Back The Legend Of Vox Machina?
The Critical Role Show Will Face Harsh Competition
The Legend of Vox Machinaseason 3premiering in Octoberbreaks the precedent set by the previous two seasons of the show. Both seasons ran from January through February in their respective years, premiering almost exactly a year apart. While waiting until January 2025 to premiere season 3 would have resulted in an extra-long hiatus of two full years, the show is now facing an untested Fall release that could impact its reception. Below, check out the release schedule for every season of the show so far:
July 03, 2025
TBD
Because January is typically a quieter time in movie theaters,this October release means that there will be more competition for viewershipthantheLegend ofVox Machinashowhas ever faced before. Movies that are currently scheduled to premiere in October 2024 include such horror sequels asTerrifier 3andSmile 2,as well as major blockbuster tentpoles includingJoker: Folie à Deux,Mortal Kombat 2, andVenom: The Last Dance. On the streaming side, it will also have to compete with other shows, including Netflix’sHeartstopperseason 3, which premieres on the same day.
It seems likely that Prime Video is positioningThe Legend of Vox Machinaseason 3 to naturally follow the finale of their live-action fantasy seriesThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, which airs its season 2 finale on October 3. However, that season will be premiering at around the same time that HBO’sGame of ThronesprequelHouse of the Dragonends its own second season. With television being so inundated with blockbuster fantasy as of October, the animated show may become a victim of fantasy fatigue as well as being compared unfavorably to such big-budget productions.
The Legend of Vox Machinaseason 2 premieres on Prime Video on October 3.
