Apple has released a new video trailer for its latest Apple TV+ TV show called Mythic Quest. The show is a comedy that follows a team of game developers as they navigate the challenges and absurdities of running a popular video game.
About the Show
Mythic Quest is one of the first comedy shows launching on the Apple TV+ platform, and it promises to bring a fresh and humorous perspective to the world of game development. The series is set in a fictional video game studio that produces a popular MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) called Mythic Quest. The show delves into the behind-the-scenes antics of the developers, designers, and other staff members who work tirelessly to keep the game running and its players engaged.
The trailer gives us a glimpse of the quirky and diverse characters that make up the team, each bringing their own unique set of skills and eccentricities to the table. From the egotistical creative director to the overworked programmers, the show captures the chaotic yet creative environment of a game development studio.
Production and Cast
“Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet” is executive produced by Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”); Michael Rotenberg and Nicholas Frenkel (3arts), Jason Altman, Danielle Kreinik and Gérard Guillemot (Ubisoft), David Hornsby (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) and Megan Ganz (“Modern Family,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”). The series ensemble cast also includes Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham, Danny Pudi, Imani Hakim, Charlotte Nicadao, David Hornsby, Ashly Burch, and Jessie Ennis.
Rob McElhenney, who also stars in the show, plays the role of Ian Grimm, the narcissistic creative director of the studio. His character is both hilarious and exasperating, embodying the stereotypical “genius” who believes he is the sole reason for the game’s success. Charlie Day, known for his comedic timing and unique humor, brings his expertise to the production, ensuring that the show is both funny and insightful.
The inclusion of industry veterans like F. Murray Abraham adds a layer of gravitas to the show. Abraham plays C.W. Longbottom, a washed-up science fiction writer who now works as the head writer for the game. His character provides a humorous yet poignant look at the struggles of staying relevant in a rapidly changing industry.
Danny Pudi, known for his role in “Community,” plays Brad, the head of monetization, who is always looking for ways to squeeze more money out of the game’s players. Imani Hakim plays Dana, a game tester who dreams of becoming a game developer. Charlotte Nicadao, David Hornsby, Ashly Burch, and Jessie Ennis round out the cast, each bringing their own comedic flair to the show.
Anticipation and Release
It will be interesting to see what this new comedy from Apple is like, especially given the talent involved in its creation. The show aims to provide a satirical yet affectionate look at the world of game development, a topic that has rarely been explored in mainstream media. With its unique premise and strong ensemble cast, Mythic Quest has the potential to become a standout hit on the Apple TV+ platform.
The show will launch on the Apple TV+ subscription service on the 7th of February. Given the growing popularity of video games and the increasing interest in the behind-the-scenes workings of the industry, Mythic Quest is well-positioned to attract a wide audience.
