If you want to find out about the Season 4 premiere, here’s everything you need to know about the first episodes, when they’re coming out and where you can watch them.
Vox Machina Begins a New Chapter
The next season takes place about a year after the horrible war with the Chroma Conclave. The heroes succeeded in saving the realm from destruction, but the aftermath of that battle left lasting scars on the world and the members of Vox Machina themselves.
The group is not a cohesive unit at the start of Season 4. Each man has been following his own trail, trying to make a quieter life after years of unending fighting and wandering. But it isn’t long before peace in Exandria is shattered.
An ancient and powerful force begins to stir, threatening the fragile peace that has prevailed since the last war. The members of Vox Machina are called to reunite once again with a rising threat that could impact all of the realm.
The heroes have beaten impossible odds before, but this new challenge seems to be something entirely new for them. The next season will examine themes of friendship, sacrifice, redemption and the cost of heroism as the group confronts another world-altering threat.
