Critical Role's Epic Jester and Fjord Wedding Comes to Cinemas
2025-09-05 04:51:34Critical Role is bringing one of its most anticipated events directly to fans with a special cinema broadcast of Jester and Fjord's wedding ceremony. Selected Cinemark, AMC, and Regal theaters across the United States and Canada will screen this memorable live show on October 15 at 7 PM local time, offering attendees an exclusive opportunity to witness this landmark moment before the video-on-demand release becomes available to the general public.
Among the beloved characters of Campaign 2's Mighty Nein, Jester and Fjord have captured the hearts of Critical Role enthusiasts worldwide. Portrayed by real-life married couple Laura Bailey and Travis Willingham, these characters developed a compelling romantic arc throughout the campaign. Their relationship reached a pivotal moment when Fjord proposed to Jester during "The Mighty Nein Reunion: Echoes of the Solstice" live performance in London, which originally aired in September 2023.
Critical Role's Jester and Fjord Wedding Celebration Arrives in Cinemas
- Special theater screening scheduled for October 15 at 7 PM local time
- Event will be shown at participating AMC, Cinemark, and Regal locations throughout the US and Canada
The actual wedding ceremony will take place during an upcoming live performance at New York City's legendary Radio City Music Hall. For fans unable to attend in person, the cinema broadcast provides an exceptional alternative to experience this magical event. The approximately five-hour live show will be presented in theaters, offering an immersive viewing experience. Those who cannot attend either event will need to await the subsequent digital release on platforms including YouTube, Twitch, and Critical Role's proprietary Beacon streaming service, though specific release dates for these platforms have not yet been announced.
This celebration marks the second time Critical Role has featured a character wedding in a special event. Back in 2019, the "Dalen's Closet" one-shot episode featured the marriage of Vex'ahlia (also portrayed by Laura Bailey) and Percival de Rolo (played by Taliesin Jaffe) from Campaign 1's Vox Machina storyline. Unlike the previous wedding special, which involved confronting a villain from their past, Jester and Fjord's ceremony will unfold before a live audience, adding to the excitement and spontaneity of the occasion.
New York City residents can further immerse themselves in the wedding festivities by visiting the "Ties-the-Knot Pop-Up Shop" at Shopify New York. Operating from October 3-5 between 11 AM and 7 PM Eastern Time, this temporary retail space will offer exclusive collectibles and limited-edition merchandise created specifically to commemorate the union of these cherished Dungeons and Dragons characters.
The wedding event coincides with an exciting period for Critical Role content. Campaign 4, featuring new Dungeon Master Brennan Lee Mulligan and an expanded cast of thirteen players, begins its weekly Thursday broadcasts starting October 2. Additionally, the highly anticipated Mighty Nein animated series premieres on Amazon Prime Video beginning November 19. With these developments, the remainder of the year promises to be an exceptionally thrilling time for Critical Role enthusiasts and the broader actual play community.
