The series then adapts the Briarwood arc from the original web series, 'in which the Vox Machina crew avenge the murder of the rulers of the town of Whitestone and most of their offspring by the evil Lord and Lady Briarwood'. The first two episodes of the series depict 'an all-new story about the seven-member Vox Machina team at D&D Level 7 on their first 'grown-up' mission, which occurs prior to Critical Role's first RPG show'. Most of the story takes place on the continent of Tal'Dorei in locations such as the metropolis of Emon and the city-state of Whitestone. The series is set on Exandria, a fictional world created by Matthew Mercer in 2012 for his personal Dungeons & Dragons campaign, which then launched as the actual play web series Critical Role in 2015.

The series received widespread acclaim from critics and audiences, with praise for its animation, voice acting, action sequences, story, writing, emotional weight, and faithfulness to the campaign. In October 2022, ahead of season two's premiere, Amazon renewed the series for a third season. In November 2019, ahead of the series premiere, it was renewed by Amazon for a second season which premiered on January 20, 2023. The first season consists of twelve episodes, the first ten of which were funded via a Kickstarter campaign. It stars Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Matthew Mercer, Liam O'Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham, reprising their roles from the campaign. The series is based on the first campaign of the Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role.
