Mythic Quest Season 5: Latest Updates and What to Expect

Making its mark on the streaming landscape, Mythic Quest is a standout workplace comedy on Apple TV+, which entered its fourth season in early 2025. Fans are eagerly speculating whether the show will be renewed for a fifth season soon. Created by talents Charlie Day, Megan Ganz, and Rob McElhenney, this unique series, which launched in 2020, delves into the lives of the employees within a video game development company as they manage not only their professional responsibilities but also their personal challenges. Unlike traditional workplace comedies, Mythic Quest offers a fresh perspective by focusing on the captivating yet often humorous behind-the-scenes aspects of the gaming industry.

The journey of Mythic Quest through its four seasons has been anything but smooth. Premiering at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the series faced production delays and schedule disruptions, ultimately leading to a significant pause between the third and fourth seasons. After a two-year hiatus, season 4 premiered and features central characters Ian (Rob McElhenney) and Poppy (Charlotte Nicdao) striving to launch their newest game concept, Elysium. The upcoming spinoff, titled Side Quest, alongside the rave reviews for the fourth season, strongly hints that a fifth installment is likely on the horizon.

Despite the strong early reception for season 5, Apple has yet to commit to a renewal for the series. However, there are optimistic indicators for its future. Apple TV+ has quickly established itself as a provider of premium original content, with Mythic Quest being one of its flagship offerings. Although the series received a two-season renewal in October 2021, it took until 2025 for the company to fulfill this order. The overwhelmingly positive feedback for the current season suggests that Apple’s confidence in the show is well-founded.

New episodes of Mythic Quest season 4 premiere every Wednesday on Apple TV+.

The anticipated release of the spinoff series, Side Quests, in 2025, further highlights the growing popularity of this comedy franchise. With season 4 likely not being the end, the primary question revolves around whether Apple will opt for a one-season renewal or multiple seasons. While two-season pickups can reassure audiences as they await new content, they also pose risks in the evolving landscape of TV production, especially with increasing gaps between seasons.

Side Quests is set to debut on March 26, 2025.
