Excitement is building as enthusiasts look forward to the comeback of a cherished series in its upcoming season. The highly anticipated Season 4 of the popular Apple TV+ offering will make its debut on January 29, 2025. Alongside the release date, a first glimpse of an associated spinoff titled Side Quest has been unveiled.

The impending season is ready to commence with two episodes, followed by weekly releases leading up to the grand finale on March 26. Audiences can anticipate a collection of captivating snapshots from the new season, along with a brief overview of the plot.

The narrative in this season will feature familiar faces, including Rob McElhenney, Charlotte Nicdao, David Hornsby, and others, as they navigate the evolving video game landscape. The team's journey consists of overcoming new obstacles, managing interpersonal dynamics, and striving for improved work-life equilibrium.

As the countdown to Season 4 continues, Apple has also shared an initial look at the anticipated spinoff, Side Quest. Formerly known as Mere Mortals, this anthology series is set within the same universe as Mythic Quest. All four episodes will be available on March 26, focusing on the experiences of employees, players, and fans who interact with the game.

The cast of Side Quest includes McElhenney, Anna Konkle, Derek Waters, and several others. Specific information about the storylines for each episode remains under wraps, but the initial preview offers hints at the diverse characters that will be spotlighted throughout the series.

The innovative series was brought to life by McElhenney alongside his collaborators from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, marking its initial launch in 2020. Since then, it has captured the interest of viewers, consistently receiving favorable reviews. The inaugural season, initially titled Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet, garnered a 6 out of 10, while the second season’s premiere earned an impressive 8. By the time Season 3 premiered in 2023, it achieved an even higher rating of 9 out of 10.

Discussions about the potential for a movie adaptation or game spinoff took place earlier this year, particularly regarding the series’ direction after the departure of actor F. Murray Abraham.
