• Critical Role's "The Mighty Nein" drops on November 19.
• CR has also signed on for a fifth season of its other series, "The Legend of Vox Machina."
• That will be the last season of the Amazon-backed "TLOVM" — and a milestone for the nerdworld business.

If there's one maxim the Critical Role team seems to be leaning into with its latest slate of Amazon-backed animation, it's to make the characters as hot as possible.
