Critical Role will be acquiring the Midst podcast, remastering, and re-releasing its first two seasons, with more to come.

It’s hard to argue anything different when stating that Critical Role is at the height of its success. With multiple D&D books released, a successful animated TV show with more seasons and a Mighty Nein announced, Critical Role is expanding quickly.

Now, they are taking the company to new heights by acquiring Midst and promising to re-release the first two seasons of the show with remastered audio and a video version featuring unique animated artwork for each episode. Soon after, seasons three and beyond are set to release and are currently in the works.

Midst’s first three episodes are set to release for free on April 11, 12, and 13 respectively. They can be found on Critical Role’s YouTube channel, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts. From then, any future episodes will release weekly on Wednesdays at 5 am PST.
