'The Legend of Vox Machina' Season 2 Cast: New and Returning Guest Stars

The Legend of Vox Machina

...

Critical Role began when Riegel, Willingham, Jaffe, Bailey, O'Brien, Ray, Johnson and Mercer got together in 2013 for a one-off playthrough of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) to celebrate a birthday, and two years later they shared their campaign with the world.

The campaign, which consists of weekly videos, podcasts and so much more, sees the voice actors continue to play D&D together as the characters they created all those years ago, and it has quickly become a worldwide phenomenon.

The Legend of Vox Machina is an adaptation of Critical Role, and it began as a Kickstarter project made by the group who intended to make a one-off 22-minute animated special for Critters (the name of their fanbase).

The campaign blew up and was so incredibly popular that fans donated more than $11 million to the cause, leading to The Legend of Vox Machina becoming a series for Prime Video that was greenlit for multiple seasons from the get-go.

Vox Machina is comprised of Scanlan Shorthalt, Grog Strongjaw, Percival de Rolo, twins Vex'ahlia and Vax'ildan, Keyleth and Pike Trickfoot.

In Season 2, Riegel (Scanlan), Willingham (Grog), Jaffe (Percival), Bailey (Vex), O'Brien (Vax), Ray (Keyleth) and Johnson (Pike) reprise their roles as the troupe while Mercer will also continue to voice Vex's grizzly bear companion Trinket and a variety of other characters.

Guest stars for the new season include Troy Baker, Will Friedle, Billy Boyd, and Henry Winkler. While Stephanie Beatriz, Indira Varma, Gina Torres, Kelly Hu and Esmé Creed-Miles will return after appearing in Season 1.
