An update posted to the Kickstarter campaign assured backers they would have access to the first season. In November 2019, Amazon Prime Video announced that they had acquired the streaming rights to The Legend of Vox Machina, and had commissioned 14 additional episodes (two additional episodes for season 1 and a second season of 12 episodes). The animated series is written by Jennifer Muro, and animated by Titmouse, Inc. The cast reprise their respective Vox Machina roles, with the exception of Orion Acaba. When the campaign closed, it was one of the most quickly funded in Kickstarter history, and was the most funded Kickstarter for TV and film projects.

The final total raised by the Kickstarter when it closed on April 19, 2019, was $11.3M. A 'secret' $10M stretch goal of Willingham being filmed going around a haunted house was reached April 16. Finally, on April 4, 2019, the last published stretch goal of $8.8 million was reached during the airing of episode 57 of campaign two, pushing the total length of the animated series to ten episodes. By March 18, 2019, eight 22-minute episodes had been funded. The subsequent episodes would adapt the Briarwoods' arc, also from the Vox Machina campaign. The first two episodes would cover the pre-stream story arc. With four 22-minute episodes funded in the first 24 hours, additional stretch goals were added, expanding the project into an animated series.

At the end of the first full day, all of the announced stretch goals had been unlocked, and the total had reached more than $4.3 million. Within an hour of launch, however, the Kickstarter had reached more than $1,000,000. Not knowing how long this would take to raise, the campaign length was set at 45 days. The cast projected a cost of US$750,000 for a single 22-minute animated short, fulfilling the other campaign rewards, and the fees associated with a crowdfunding campaign. The animated story was to be set just before the streaming portion of the campaign started-when the players were around level seven-during a time when, canonically, there is an in-game period of roughly six months when the members of Vox Machina were not all together at the same time. On March 4, 2019, the Critical Role cast launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a 22-minute animation called Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina Animated Special.
