“Dungeons & Dragons” maker Wizards of the Coast has set the theme for the upcoming second installment of its “Dungeon Masters” TV series.
Beginning with its July 8 premiere on YouTube, the nine-episode second season of the Jasmine Bhullar-hosted Dungeons & Dragons actual-play show will feature “Arcana Unleashed,” a soon-to-be-released campaign set in D&D’s The Forgotten Realms.
Along with Bhullar (“DesiQuest,” “Dimension 20”) as the Dungeon Master, the new season will star recurring cast members Mayanna Berrin (“Dispatch,” “StoryQuest”), Christian Navarro (“13 Reasons Why,” “Forgotten Realms: Tears of Selune”), Neil Newbon (“Baldur’s Gate III”) and Devora Wilde (“Baldur’s Gate III”) as they play through a new D&D campaign.
Per Wizards’ description for the “Arcana Unleashed”-themed “Dungeon Masters” Arc 2: “Our heroes, magical agents of the Order of the Ninth Quill, are hurled into the lethal expanse of the Anauroch Desert: a shattered wasteland still radiating the catastrophic magic of Netheril’s fall. A fragile, shimmering barrier is all that stands between Faerûn and the arcane horrors buried beneath the dunes, and it’s failing. But the desert itself is anything but quiet. The Bringers of the Cosmic Dawn seek to tear the barrier down in pursuit of their own vision, while the Red Wizards of Thay maneuver in the shadows, hungry to seize the arcane power within. As if that were not enough, the desert itself seems intent on killing them. One problem: these kids are the absolute bottom of the barrel. Let’s meet The Misfits.”
