Apple today shared a "first look" video featuring "Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet," an upcoming Apple TV Plus show that's set to debut on Friday, February 7.

"Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet" follows a team of video game developers navigating the challenges of running a popular World of Warcraft-style video game.


The series was created by Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day, known for their work on long running series "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Day doesn't star in the show, but McElhenney plays the video game director.

In the first look spot, McElhenney says the show is a "testament to the madness that is a video game development company." David Hornsby, who plays Cricket on "Always Sunny" and has a role in the new series, says the show "comes from the people that make Always Sunny," which "gives the flavor for a lot of the comedy."


Apple has ordered nine half-hour episodes, and when "Mythic Quest" debuts, it will be one of the first comedy shows on the ?Apple TV?+ service, joining existing shows that include "Dickinson," "For All Mankind," "See," "Servant," and "The Morning Show."

This is going to be a fun ride, and based on early reviews, it looks like it’s only getting very good feedback

So far; and just my opinion (and no, you may not have it)- "For All Mankind" is the show to beat. I tried watching "See", and really wanted to like it. But, at best it's no more than a mini-series.

Remind me again, how many industries are large competitors like Samsung involved in? Cargo ships, Kitchen Appliances, Phones, TV's, Oil Drilling Platforms, Medical Devices, Scientific Instrumentation ....

And Apple can only handle computers and related devices? Seems to me diversifying the portfolio only makes sense when you get to be this large.

First show of theirs I am interested in. Finally. I did give that For All Mankind thing a chance but I fell asleep.

It hurts me when people don’t understand the value of entertainment to the general public. Would you like to ban Football games, circuses, and concerts as well, because they are a waste of money which could be earmarked toward technological progress?
I am glad Apple is diversifying and creating great entertaining Television and movies. Don’t knock the utility and public good of entertainment. Stories can move us emotionally, help us deal with difficult stages of our lives, and help us see things from different perspectives.

Totally agree. I think Apple should be working on new 3D/holographic display technology. Maybe acquire Looking Glass Factory and jump past AR and VR.
