Mythic Quest (2020) is a comedy series from Apple TV. It has built a run of 38 episodes. It premiered on February 7, 2020. Viewers rate it 7.5 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 4 seasons.
What Mythic Quest Is About
Mythic Quest follows a team of video game developers as they navigate the challenges of running a popular video game.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 38 episodes, spread across 4 seasons and it leans into its comedy roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Rob McElhenney, Ashly Burch and Charlotte Nicdao to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Rob McElhenney, Ashly Burch, Charlotte Nicdao, Imani Hakim, David Hornsby and Danny Pudi lead the cast.
Key roles include Rob McElhenney as Ian Grimm; Ashly Burch as Rachel Meyee; Charlotte Nicdao as Poppy Li; Imani Hakim as Dana Bryant; David Hornsby as David Brittlesbee.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of comedy have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Apple TV’s other originals, a 7.5/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2020 and carried by Apple TV with the series still ended, it lands hardest with comedy viewers.
How Mythic Quest Compares
If Mythic Quest lands for you, the next stops are Nathan for You, Taskmaster and Seinfeld, which share its comedy lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Mythic Quest is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Rob McElhenney and Ashly Burch doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its comedy roots, It has held up since 2020 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Mythic Quest is a safe bet for anyone already inside the comedy lane, at 38 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.5/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.5/10. Watch it if you want comedy you can settle into.
