If there’s one show that’s ever truly captured what it’s like to work in the video game industry, it’s Apple TV+’s Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet. If you’re a gamer or at all interested in the industry, Mythic Quest almost single-handedly makes subscribing to Apple TV+ worth it. And now the show is jumping on the COVID-19 bandwagon and getting its very own quarantine special, much like Parks and Rec and others before it.
Mythic Quest: Quarantine will stream on Apple TV+ beginning Friday, May 22. The special will follow the developers of the titular massive online video game as they contend with the new Work From Home world necessitated by the global pandemic. Given that MQ is an Apple TV+ exclusive, it’s not surprising to hear that this half-hour episode was shot entirely on iPhones. Check out the trailer below.
Mythic Quest stars It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s Rob McElhenney, who also serves as executive producer and co-creator along with Charlie Day, and Megan Ganz. It’s produced in part by Ubisoft Motion Pictures and Lionsgate Television. The cast also includes F. Murray Abraham, Charlotte Nicdao, Community’s Danny Pudi, Imani Hakim, Ashly Burch (known for her video game voice work), David Hornsby (Rickety Cricket on It’s Always Sunny), and others.
