73 Mythic Quest: Season 2

Season 2 debuts May 7 on Apple TV+. You don't need to be a gamer to appreciate the charms of Apple's workplace comedy, which is set in the offices of a game development studio responsible for the titular MMORPG. (You also don't need to be a fan of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which shares writers, producers, and star Rob McElhenney with Mythic Quest; the latter is a bit warmer and less caustic.) This nine-episode second season—which follows last month's pandemic special (and a previous pandemic special that streamed a year ago)—will have a lot less of co-star F. Murray Abraham due to COVID restrictions, but the rest of the gang will be back in the office to work on a new expansion for their game to follow Raven's Banquet (which, in turn, has been stripped from the title of the TV series).
