Critical Role join forces with Rings of Power stars for exciting one-off team up

Fresh from their London live show, Critical Role aren't slowing down, confirming that they're set to team up with the stars of The Rings of Power for a very special stream.

Stars of the Lord of the Rings prequel, Benjamin Walker (High King Gil-Galad) and Maxim Baldry (Isildur) will join the gang this weekend for a live one-shot from TwitchCon. It'll be hosted by Critical Role's Liam O'Brien, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham.

Critical Role shared the news on their social media, saying: "This Sunday, join us for a live one-shot to rule them all! Benjamin Walker and Maxim Baldry from The Rings of Power join Liam, Sam and Travis live at TwitchCon, and streaming on Twitch @ /twitch and /criticalrole at 11 a.m. PT." In the UK, that works out to 7pm GMT.

The one-shot comes as season 3 of The Rings of Power is streaming on Prime Video.

O'Brien also recently opened up to Radio Times about the long-awaited next season of The Legend of Vox Machina.

"It’s already breaking our hearts on this side," O’Brien told us just days before he brought Vax back – alongside the rest of Vox Machina – to London MCM and a live show at the O2.

"I can’t tell you where in the factory it is, but we’ve seen plenty up and running. It's beautifully, beautifully written and, I think, a really solid final chapter to our animated adaptation of Vox Machina's story. I think people are gonna love it."

The story of Vox Machina has always been a mixture of joy and pain, which O’Brien says is part of why it speaks so strongly to people.

"No one's life is sonnets every step of the way," he said. "We all stumble and make stupid mistakes in our lives and laugh ourselves silly. We pride ourselves on putting every colour of life into this show… There is a very tragic thread to the story of Vox Machina, but there is so much joy and love and fun and hijinks along the way, and we want all that."
