Mythic Quest is Apple TV+'s acclaimed workplace comedy set inside a video game development studio, created by Rob McElhenney (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Charlie Day. Following the dysfunctional team behind a massive online game, the show blends sharp satire of the gaming industry with surprisingly heartfelt storytelling. Several standalone episodes — including the pandemic episode 'Quarantine' — have received particular critical acclaim.
Mythic Quest streams exclusively on Apple TV+. All seasons are available to subscribers.
Mythic Quest has 4 seasons as of 2024, plus several special episodes including the acclaimed standalone 'Quarantine' episode filmed during COVID-19.
Mythic Quest is created by Rob McElhenney (Mac from Always Sunny) and Charlie Day, but it is not connected to that show's universe. It has a completely different tone — warmer and less anarchic than Always Sunny.
No. While set in a game studio, Mythic Quest is primarily a workplace comedy and character study. Non-gamers enjoy it just as much as gamers — the video game setting is backdrop, not the subject.
'Quarantine' is a standalone special episode filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic using video chat. It became one of the most praised TV episodes of 2020 for its emotional resonance and technical achievement.
