Apple has announced that its comedy series “Mythic Quest” will be getting a spin-off that hails from three of the writers of the original series.
Titled “Mere Mortals,” the eight-episode project is being penned by Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris, and Katie McElhenney. In addition, “Mythic Quest” creators Megan Ganz, Rob McElhenney, and Charlie Day will executive produce along with that show’s star and executive producer David Hornsby.
The series will explore the lives of employees, players, and fans who are impacted by the game at the center of the main series. It’s an extension of a model of select episodes of the series thus far including “A Dark Quiet Death,” “Everlight,” “Backstory!” and the upcoming “Sarian”.
The original series debuted on Apple back in February 2020, with the series currently in the midst of its third season. A fourth season has already been ordered.
Nick Frenkel, Michael Rotenberg, Jason Altman, and Margaret Boykin are also set to executive produce “Mere Mortals” for Lionsgate Television, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Ubisoft.
