Apple TV+ today announced that the fourth season of its hit comedy Mythic Quest will debut on January 29.
Hailing from creators Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Megan Ganz, the new season will make its global debut on Apple TV+ with two episodes on Wednesday, January 29, followed by one new episode weekly through Wednesday, March 26.
The shows have generally been hilarious, though some of the humor makes me groan now and then. Mythic Quest specializes in skewering game development bureaucracy and other tropes familiar to the game industry. But with 33,000 layoffs in the last 2.5 years, the game industry has had a hard time. We’ll see if people still have their sense of humor; maybe it will be comforting to laugh.
This season of Mythic Quest brings stars McElhenney, Charlotte Nicdao, David Hornsby, Danny Pudi, Ashly Burch, Imani Hakim, Jessie Ennis and Naomi Ekperigin under the same fluorescent office lights as the reunited team at Mythic Quest confronts new challenges amongst a changing video game landscape as stars rise, egos clash, relationships bloom, and everyone tries to have a little more work life balance.
Plus, as the upcoming fourth season of Mythic Quest reaches its finale, the much-anticipated anthology series, titled Side Quest (FKA “Mere Mortals”), will make its global debut on March 26 with all four episodes.
An expansion of the Mythic Quest universe, Side Quest explores the lives of employees, players, and fans who are impacted by the game in an anthology format. The series stars McElhenney, Anna Konkle, Derek Waters, William Stanford Davis, Bria Henderson, Rome Flynn, Leonard Robinson, Gary Kraus, Annamarie Kasper, Esai Morales, Shalta Grant and many more in the leading roles across each installment.
Side Quest is developed by and executive produced by Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris and Katie McElhenney, with Megan Ganz, Rob McElhenney, David Hornsby, Charlie Day, Todd Biermann, Nick Frenkel, Michael Rotenberg, Margaret Boykin and Genevieve Jones also serving as executive producers.
Mythic Quest is executive produced by McElhenney and Day under their RCG banner, Michael Rotenberg and Nicholas Frenkel on behalf of 3Arts, and Margaret Boykin, Austin Dill, and Gérard Guillemot for Ubisoft Film & Television. Hornsby and Ganz also executive produce.
Both series are produced for Apple TV+ by Lionsgate, 3 Arts Entertainment and Ubisoft. The first three seasons of Mythic Quest are now streaming globally on Apple TV+.
