Mythic Quest, Apple TV Plus’ workplace comedy set in a fictional video game studio, has been renewed for both a third and fourth season. The new season will premiere in 2022 before the third season of Ted Lasso.
In a short video to commemorate the renewals, Mythic Quest star and co-creator Rob McElhenney (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) FaceTimes academy award winner and Mythic Quest guest star Anthony Hopkins with the renewal announcement.

The call doesn’t go quite as planned, though Sir Anthony Hopkins does appear more interested in a potential guest appearance on Ted Lasso than any reappearances on Mythic Quest (for which he was nominated for an Emmy).
Mythic Quest is set in a fictional video game development studio that created the popular MMORPG of the same name. It’s a pretty loving send-up to video games, though it’s more of a workplace comedy than an inside-baseball look at the video game industry.
The second season is where the show hits its stride, according to our review. Also, check out our Ted Lasso season 2 review for more on Apple’s popular TV offerings.
