Mythic Quest is probably one of the best shows on Apple TV+ that no one is checking out right now, and the series is set to have its fourth season later this month.
Just in, a new trailer has dropped, and it brings us back to the crazy MQ studio where Poppy (Charlotte Nicdao) and Ian (Rob McElhenney) are once again allowed to run amok and make one of the best multiplayer online games of all time. Check this out:
The official description for Season 4 reads:
Season four of Mythic Quest brings stars Rob McElhenney, Charlotte Nicdao, David Hornsby, Danny Pudi, Ashly Burch, Imani Hakim, Jessie Ennis and Naomi Ekperigin back together under the same fluorescent office lights. 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 work life balance.
The series has always tried to tackle actual issues when it comes to the game industry, and we can see some of that in the trailer with Ian getting his own AI clone as well as David being forced to go to a senate hearing where he has to defend the ethics of profiting off children with video games.
It also looks likea lot of the supporting cast have been given larger roles like community manager Sue (Caitleen McGee) and HR manager Carol (Naomi Ekperigin).
I’ll admit, the last season of MQ was kind of middling when it came to the video game industry stuff, but the character work is still very great and emotional. We don’t know how long Mythic Quest is going to run, but I’m hoping that Apple gives the creators as much time as they can to deliver a stellar season every year.
Mythic Quest 4 premieres on Apple TV+ on Jan. 29.
