The first official project under the new pact is animated series Mighty Nein, based on Critical Role’s successful second campaign.

The new series will soon begin production and will premiere on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. You can watch a teaser above.

The first series that was produced under Metapigeon, The Legend of Vox Machina, produced in partnership with Titmouse, aired in January 2022 exclusively on Prime Video. Season Two premiered on January 20, and Season Three was officially announced at New York Comic Con and is currently in production.
