Mythic Quest is getting a spinoff anthology series

Apple TV Plus

Mythic Quest’s upcoming fourth season finally has a release date, but Apple’s future plans for the series aren’t stopping there.

Today, Apple announced that Mythic Quest will return on January 29th with a two-episode premiere picking up Ian Grimm (Rob McElhenney,) Poppy Li (Charlotte Nicdao,) David Brittlesbee (David Hornsby,) Brad Bakshi (Danny Pudi,) Rachel Ashly Burch, Dana Bryant (Imani Hakim,) Jo (Jessie Ennis) and Carol (Naomi Ekperigin) adjust to a new status quo. In the new season, the Mythic Quest team will find their attempts at maintaining healthier work / life balances disrupted by stars rising, egos clashing, and new relationships blooming.

Though season 4 is set to conclude on March 26th, Mythic Quest’s world will get a little bit bigger that same day with Side Quest, a new anthology series exploring the lives of fans, players, and Mythic Quest employees who have been impacted by the game in various ways. In addition to McElhenney, the spinoff will also star Anna Konkle, Derek Waters, William Stanford Davis, Bria Henderson, Rome Flynn, Leonard Robinson, Gary Kraus, Annamarie Kasper, Esai Morales, and Shalta Grant.

All four episodes of Side Quest are dropping at once, which might make them feel a bit more like an expansion pack to the fourth season. But the anthology could very well be a sign of there being even more Mythic Quest coming down the pipeline.
