In a bittersweet announcement, the critically acclaimed series Mythic Quest is officially coming to an end after a successful four-season run. Following the airing of its season finale in March, Apple TV+ has decided to cancel the show just two weeks later, marking a significant moment in the streaming service's history.

To commemorate this conclusion, Apple is set to release an updated finale episode next week, which will feature a brand new ending. This gesture underscores the emotional investment fans have made in the show, as Mythic Quest stands as one of Apple TV+s inaugural offerings and has become a beloved fixture within the platform.

In a heartfelt statement, executive producers David Hornsby, Megan Ganz, and Rob McElhenney expressed their gratitude: Endings are hard. Were so proud of the show and the world we got to buildand 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 Apples blessing we made one final update to our last episodeso we could say goodbye, instead of just game over.

The series, co-created by Megan Ganz, Rob McElhenney, and Charlie Day, centers around the character Ian Grimm, played by McElhenney, who serves as the creative director for a fictional MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) titled Mythic Quest. As the narrative unfolds, the game is on the brink of launching a much-anticipated expansion, and the series deftly navigates the conflicts and collaborations among the team leads striving to bring the project to fruition.

Over its run, the show garnered a great deal of acclaim, not only for its humorous take on the gaming industry but also for its character-driven storytelling. The core cast includes recognizable talents such as David Hornsby, Ashly Burch, and Danny Pudi, all of whom contributed to the series charm. The show even spawned a spinoff titled Side Quest, which aired alongside the series finale and offered a glimpse into the lives of Mythic Quest players, fans, and other developers working within the studio.

In an emotional tribute on Instagram, producer Megan Ganz reflected on the journey of Mythic Quest, stating, four seasons and seven years of working with the greatest group of people you ever met. We helped each other through a pandemic and took our hearts and made them art. She conveyed her heartfelt appreciation to Hornsby for those countless nights spent writing and rewriting scripts in absurd costumes, as well as to McElhenney for the initial email that sparked the project many years ago. It was never easy, but it was always worth it, she concluded, emphasizing the strong bonds formed during the shows production.
