"Campaign 3 Finale: 8-Hour Epic Ends Next Week"

Next week marks a significant milestone for fans of the acclaimed Dungeons & Dragons show, Critical Role, as it prepares to conclude its third campaign in a grand finale. The special episode, set to air on February 6 at 7pm Pacific / 10pm Eastern (February 7 at 3am UK time), will be an epic eight-and-a-half-hour stream, available on Critical Role's YouTube, Twitch channels, and their membership platform, Beacon.

This finale will wrap up the journey of the adventuring party known as Bells Hells, which began in October 2021. While there are no confirmed spin-offs or sequels for Bells Hells yet, Critical Role has assured fans that more tales from the world of Exandria are on the horizon.

"This finale for Campaign 3 marks the end of one very epic chapter of Exandrian history," said Marisha Ray, the show's creative director and a cast member. "But while we celebrate the end of this chapter, I think it’s important to know that the story continues with a simple turn of the page. I’m very excited to see what happens next in this story that remains to be written by the incredible emergent storytellers who are picking up the pen."

Even as Campaign 3 concludes, Critical Role's content calendar remains packed. A new mini-series, Exandria Unlimited, will launch its first of four episodes on February 14, just a week after the finale. Fans can also look forward to a variety of other shows and streams following the end of the campaign.

Regarding the much-anticipated Campaign 4, Critical Role has not yet announced a start date. Historically, there's been a few months' gap between campaigns. For instance, the first campaign, featuring Vox Machina, ended in October 2017, followed by the second campaign with the Mighty Nein starting in January 2018. The Mighty Nein's story concluded in June 2021, paving the way for Campaign 3 in October of the same year.

Given this pattern, it's likely that Critical Role will soon announce the beginning of a new chapter. Fans speculate that the show's 10-year anniversary on March 12 could be a fitting occasion for such an announcement, if not the actual start of the next campaign.
