Mythic Quest, the game development comedy from It’s Always Sunny in Philideliphia’s Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day, returns to Apple TV+ this Friday, 16th April, with a standalone special, ahead of a full second season in May.<\/p>\n

Mythic Quest, if you didn’t catch the first season, is a workplace comedy charting the misadventures of the staff at a fictional game development studio working on the massively popular MMO of the title. McElhenney stars as creative director Ian Grimm, alongside the likes of Ashly Burch, Charlotte Nicdao, Danny Pudi, and David Hornsby (Always Sunny’s Cricket).<\/p>\n

And given that dramatic upward tick, I’m genuinely curious to see how the show will continue to evolve.<\/p>\n
