Apple TV+’s MYTHIC QUEST to Debut Quarantine Episode

MYTHIC QUEST is returning for a one-time quarantine episode, Apple announced.

MYTHIC QUEST: QUARANTINE will bow on Friday, May 22 on the streaming platform. In the half-hour episode finds “the team behind the biggest multiplayer video game of all-time tasked with working from home. Poppy (Charlotte Nicdao) and Ian (Rob McElhenney) struggle with solitude, while Brad (Danny Pudi) and David (David Hornsby) start a charitable competition. Assistant Jo (Jessie Ennis) tries to explain video-conferencing to C.W. (F. Murray Abraham) with mixed results. To produce the episode, the cast and crew worked remotely in multiple locations across the country.”

“Lots of workplaces are figuring out this whole working-from-home thing, and the gaming industry is no different. Virtual meetings are a new and special kind of hell, so I think people will relate,” said Rob McElhenney in a statement. “Yes we’ve all had low points, but there have also been incredible moments of triumph and we wanted to celebrate that.”

“We needed to shoot this episode fast without sacrificing quality,” he continued. “Thankfully, we’re living in a time when everyone’s got a camera in their pocket. Having an iPhone coupled with the ingenuity of our crew, allowed us to make this unique piece of television in just days. We hope people enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.” 

The episode was penned by McElhenney, Megan Ganz, and Hornsby.
