Info in Movie News | After four seasons of workplace chaos, creative clashes, and a surprising amount of heart, the Apple TV+ comedy Mythic Quest has officially wrapped up its run. But just like a video game that refuses to quit, the show is getting one final update before logging out for good.
According to Variety, Apple TV+ and the show’s creators are dropping a surprise updated finale episode next week. Not just a deleted scene or bonus content, but a brand-new ending meant to offer a proper goodbye instead of just a “game over.”
“Endings are hard,” said executive producers Megan Ganz, David Hornsby, and Rob McElhenney in an official statement. “But we’re incredibly proud of the world we got to build, and thankful to the amazing cast and crew who made it real. With Apple’s blessing, we gave the final episode one last update so we could say farewell the right way.”
Mythic Quest, which was one of the earliest original series of Apple TV+, debuts in February 2020. The story of Mythic Quest shows is the view of the background of a video game company that actually made an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) called Mythic Quest, from the very start of the company's success to the release of the game and played to append more features, with crispy inside information about the company. Rob McElhenney, who is a co-creator alongside with Charlie Day, and Megan Ganz, is the lead role of Ian Grimm, the egotistical but yet a brilliant game director of the series.
Not only was this show successful with its fun, but it was also well-loved by the critics with the rating of 97% in Rotten Tomatoes at the same time. Apple does not release the numbers of viewers, but the show’s following and positive reviews crossed the four seasons. The series will still be talked about in the future.
The Story So Far
Season 1, Raven’s Banquet
Starting off the series is the launch of a new expansion for Mythic Quest and at the same time the confrontation of Ian and Poppy (Charlotte Nicdao), the chief engineer of the brilliant but miserable. Their argument is centered around the game's creative direction. The situation gets out of control when a brat influencer called Pootie Shoe and making some hard decisions when the game community is troublesome join the fray. The episode "A Dark Quiet Death" was particularly memorable, as it went into a deep, emotional deviation from the show's structure to tell a story about the rise and fall of the two independent game developers inside a single episode.
Season 2
Ian and Poppy have taken the roles of co-creative directors but they keep finding themselves in arguments due to their egos, it's like their duo is sailing. In addition to getting into one's personal problems, the second season of the show also sheds the light on the topics of identity issues, and questions of creativity by the heroine. Oh, and it even involves minor characters in a more profound way in the new episodes.
Season 3
After leaving the company, Ian and Poppy launch their own startup, GrimPop Studios. But building something new from scratch turns out to be harder than expected. Meanwhile, back at the original company, the rest of the crew navigates their own workplace weirdness. Themes of ambition, betrayal, and finding one’s place in the industry take center stage.
Season 4
Ian and Poppy return to Mythic Quest to try and rebuild both the game and their working relationship. But the team, and the industry itself, has changed. The final season is reflective, exploring what it means to grow up, let go, and redefine creative success.
The show also delivered two well-received specials, including a quarantine-themed remote episode and the fantasy-laced “Everlight.” And while the main series is over, the world of Mythic Quest lives on through Side Quest, a spinoff anthology that premiered in March 2025, telling different stories tied to the game’s universe.
Definitely, by all means, the topmost plan may have been completed, but there is still one final story on the next week track. This is because, just like in any good RPG, Mythic Quest teaches the audience that the closure is often not the real closure — rather it is always very likely to become more challenging and fun again.
