'Mythic Quest' to End After Four Seasons,
Apple TV+ to Air Updated Finale Episode With New Ending
-------------------------------------------------------
The Apple TV+ comedy "Mythic Quest" is done after four seasons,
Variety has learned exclusively. The series aired its fourth
season finale on March 26 following its January debut. It had
been renewed for Seasons 3 and 4 back in 2021.
But in true video game style, the show is getting an extra life.
An updated finale episode with a new ending will premiere next
week on Apple TV+.
"Endings are hard. But after four incredible seasons, 'Mythic
Quest' is coming to a close," said series executive producers
Megan Ganz, David Hornsby, and Rob McElhenney. "We're so proud
of the show and the world we got to build - and deeply grateful
to every cast and crew member who poured their heart into it.
To all our fans, thank you for playing with us. To our partners
at Apple, thank you for believing in the vision from the very
beginning. Because endings are hard, with Apple's blessing we
made one final update to our last episode - so we could say
goodbye, instead of just game over."
"Mythic Quest" was among the first original series to launch
on Apple TV+, debuting in February 2020 after the service
launched in November 2019. Although Apple does not release
viewership info for their shows, the series was well-received
by critics since its launch. The four seasons averaged a 97%
critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The single-cam workplace comedy followed the staff of a video
game studio that produced the titular game, a massively popular
MMORPG. Series co-creator McElhenney also starred in the show
as Ian Grimm, the creator and creative director of "Mythic
Quest." The cast also included Charlotte Nicdao, Hornsby, Danny
Pudi, Ashly Burch, Imani Hakim, Jessie Ennis, and Naomi
Ekperigin.
McElhenney created the show along with Charlie Day and Ganz,
with all three executive producing. McElhenney and Day did so
under their RCG banner. Additional executive producers included
Hornsby, Michael Rotenberg and Nicholas Frenkel on behalf of
3 Arts and Margaret Boykin, Austin Dill, and Gérard Guillemot
for Ubisoft Film & Television. Lionsgate Television produced
along with 3 Arts and Ubisoft.
In addition to its four season run, "Mythic Quest" also produced
two special episodes - one shot remotely about the show's
characters dealing with quarantine and another called
"Everlight," which saw the characters celebrating their return to
the office.
The show also spawned the spinoff series "Side Quest," which
debuted on March 26. That show was a four-episode anthology, with
each episode exploring the lives of different people involved in
the "Mythic Quest" game, from its creators to fans.
