Apple TV+ has officially canceled its popular gaming workplace comedy, Mythic Quest, after four successful seasons. The announcement comes just weeks after the Season 4 finale aired on March 26, 2025. While fans were treated to a thrilling conclusion, the show's creators have promised an updated version of the finale to provide a proper send-off.
In a heartfelt statement released on April 11, 2025, series creators Megan Ganz, David Hornsby, and Rob McElhenney expressed their gratitude for the journey. “Endings are hard. But after four incredible seasons, Mythic Quest is coming to a close,” they said. “We’re so proud of the show and the world we got to build—and deeply grateful to every cast and crew member who poured their heart into it. To all our fans, thank you for playing with us. To our partners at Apple, thank you for believing in the vision from the very beginning. Because endings are hard, with Apple’s blessing, we made one final update to our last episode—so we could say goodbye instead of just game over.”
The updated finale, set to premiere next week, aims to give fans the closure they deserve. Originally, the Season 4 finale was not designed as a series conclusion, leaving viewers with a cliffhanger. The creators are now revising the ending to ensure it reflects the series' legacy more fittingly.
Mythic Quest debuted in February 2020, becoming one of the first original series on Apple TV+. The show, which follows the employees of a fictional video game development studio, quickly gained a loyal fanbase and critical acclaim, boasting a 97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes across its four seasons.
Throughout its run, the series tackled themes of creativity, workplace dynamics, and the evolving landscape of the gaming industry. The cast featured a talented ensemble, including McElhenney, Charlotte Nicdao, Hornsby, Danny Pudi, Ashly Burch, Imani Hakim, Jessie Ennis, and Naomi Ekperigin. Together, they navigated the ups and downs of the gaming world, where egos clashed and relationships blossomed.
In addition to the main series, Mythic Quest also spawned a spinoff anthology series titled Side Quest, which debuted on the same day as the Season 4 finale. This four-part series explores the lives of various characters connected to the game, including employees, players, and fans, offering a deeper glimpse into the show's universe.
The decision to cancel Mythic Quest was not entirely unexpected, as Season 4 had a quieter reception compared to earlier seasons. Despite this, the creators' commitment to providing a proper farewell speaks volumes about their dedication to the story and its audience.
As fans prepare to say goodbye to Mythic Quest, the upcoming updated finale promises to deliver a fitting tribute to the beloved series. The creators have emphasized that this is not just an ending but a celebration of the journey they've shared with their audience.
With the gaming landscape continually evolving, Mythic Quest has left a significant mark on both the comedy genre and the portrayal of the gaming industry in media. Its unique blend of humor, heart, and insight into the world of video games has resonated with many, making its cancellation all the more poignant.
As the series bids farewell, fans can look forward to the updated finale, which will air next week on Apple TV+. This last act serves as a reminder of the impact Mythic Quest has had on its viewers and the legacy it leaves behind.
