Apple TV+ is gearing up to expand its comedy lineup with the debut of “Side Quest,” a spin-off of the hit series “Mythic Quest.” Set to premiere on March 26, the same day as the “Mythic Quest” season four finale, the new series will offer a fresh take on the original show’s universe.
Unlike “Mythic Quest,” which delves into the dynamics of a game development studio, “Side Quest” will take an anthology-style approach, exploring the lives of employees, players, and fans connected to the in-game world. Each episode will introduce new characters, shedding light on different perspectives within the gaming culture.
The creative minds behind “Mythic Quest” continue their involvement in this project, with writers Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris, and Katie McElhenney leading the series and serving as executive producers. Burch also portrays Rachel in “Mythic Quest,” adds her storytelling expertise to the spin-off.
Produced by Lionsgate, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Ubisoft, “Side Quest” promises high production quality and continuity with its predecessor. The executive production team includes “Mythic Quest” creators Charlie Day, Megan Ganz, and Rob McElhenney, ensuring the series maintains the humor and depth fans have come to expect.
Apple TV+ has released an official trailer to build anticipation, offering a glimpse into the show’s unique storytelling format. With its fresh narrative approach, “Side Quest” is poised to captivate longtime fans of “Mythic Quest” and newcomers alike, delivering an engaging and immersive look at the impact of gaming culture.
