By Mulder, 08 january 2025

Apple TV+ has officially dropped the trailer for the highly anticipated fourth season of the hit comedy series Mythic Quest: The Raven’s Banquet, created by Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Megan Ganz. Fans can mark their calendars for January 29, 2025, when the first two episodes will become available. Subsequent episodes will follow a weekly release schedule, with the season finale slated for March 26, 2025.

Returning with a fresh batch of ten episodes, this new season once again reunites the familiar ensemble cast, including Rob McElhenney, Charlotte Nicdao, David Hornsby, Danny Pudi, Ashly Burch, Imani Hakim, Jessie Ennis, and Naomi Ekperigin. As always, the team at the fictional Mythic Quest video game studio faces new workplace challenges, from navigating personal dynamics to adapting to an ever-evolving gaming industry. Expect plenty of drama, ego clashes, shifting alliances, and a few new faces joining the fray.

Behind the scenes, the creative powerhouse remains intact, with Katie McElhenney and Charlie Day leading the executive production team for RCG. Other key players include Michael Rotenberg and Nicholas Frenkel for 3Arts Entertainment, and Margaret Boykin, Austin Dill, and Gérard Guillemot representing Ubisoft Film & Television. Lionsgate also continues its partnership in producing the series alongside Apple TV+.

The first three seasons of Mythic Quest: Raven’s Feast are currently available on Apple TV+, making it easy for new viewers to catch up before the fourth season drops. This series has captivated audiences since its debut in February 2020, blending sharp humor with a satirical yet insightful look at the inner workings of a game development studio. Adding to the excitement, Apple TV+ has also announced a companion anthology spin-off series titled Side Quest, set to premiere on March 26, 2025, right after the conclusion of season four. This new show promises to explore the broader universe of Mythic Quest, focusing on the lives of employees, players, and fans connected to the iconic MMORPG. With Rob McElhenney, Anna Konkle, Derek Waters, William Stanford Davis, and many others joining the cast, Side Quest is poised to offer fans an even deeper dive into the world of Mythic Quest.

Since its inception, Mythic Quest has garnered critical acclaim for its witty writing, engaging characters, and authentic portrayal of the video game industry. Created by industry veterans Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Megan Ganz, the series quickly earned a dedicated fanbase. With production assistance from Ubisoft, the show benefits from realistic game design elements, further enhancing its credibility among gaming enthusiasts.

Apple TV+ demonstrated its confidence in the series early on, renewing it for a second season ahead of the first season’s premiere. Over time, Mythic Quest has only grown in popularity, leading to renewals for both a third and fourth season. Despite challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, including multiple production halts, the show continued to deliver quality content, even producing two special episodes, Quarantine and Everlight, during this period. The cast lineup has seen some changes over the years. Notably, F. Murray Abraham, who played the eccentric head writer C.W. Longbottom, exited the series after season two. Despite his departure, the series has maintained its strong comedic foundation and continues to attract guest stars and new talent.

The production of Mythic Quest is a collaborative effort involving RCG Productions, 3 Arts Entertainment, Lionsgate Television, and Ubisoft Film & Television. According to McElhenney, the idea for the show originated from discussions with Ubisoft about creating a TV series centered around video games. Initially hesitant, McElhenney was convinced after touring Ubisoft’s Montreal studio and realizing the vast potential of the concept. Ubisoft has since played a pivotal role in shaping the series, contributing to character designs, game world elements, and overall authenticity. Production on the fourth season began in March 2024, following delays due to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. Filming wrapped by May 4, 2024, ensuring the timely release of the upcoming season.

With the addition of Side Quest, Apple TV+ continues to expand the Mythic Quest universe. This eight-episode series, initially titled Mere Mortals, focuses on entirely new characters while retaining the core spirit of the main series. Co-created by Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris, and Katie McElhenney, it has drawn comparisons to standout episodes from previous seasons, such as A Dark Quiet Death and Backstory!. Fans can expect a deeper exploration of the Mythic Quest world, offering fresh perspectives and untold stories. The first four episodes will be available for streaming on March 26, 2025, with the remainder following in the coming weeks.

As the release date for season four approaches, anticipation is at an all-time high. With its unique blend of humor, heart, and industry insight, Mythic Quest: The Raven’s Banquet remains a standout series in the Apple TV+ lineup. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a newcomer, there’s never been a better time to immerse yourself in the chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt world of Mythic Quest.
