As a Software Test Engineer, I was a huge fan of the tester scenes in the early seasons of Mythic Quest. But I also genuinely love the show itself. Even the infamous third season! The fourth season is actually quite good and way better than the third season. Sadly, I believe viewership dropped off during the third season and never really recovered. Oh well, RIP Mythic Quest, and thank you for helping me survive multiple quarantines.
Mythic Quest was my favorite show for 2 seasons, the special COVID episode was probably the funniest and most real episode I’ve seen in the pandemic, its ending is just one of the most emotional things I‘ve seen in that difficult time. However, season 3 was a bit meh and I struggle with season 4 also, so I think it is a good thing to end it.
Apple is canceling popular comedy series Mythic Quest after a four season run, with the show to wrap up after a re-released season 4 finale that's coming later this week.
Mythic Quest starred Rob McElhenney, Charlotte Nicdao, Danny Pudi, and David Hornsby, all of whom played characters that worked at the fictional Mythic Quest Studios creating, designing, and running a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game. The show provided a satirical and humorous look at the inner workings of video game development.
Season four was not initially meant to be the show's final season, so the season four finale has been updated with a new ending that will provide Mythic Quest fans with closure. In a statement to Deadline, series producers Megan Ganz, David Hornsby and Rob McElhenney said they wanted to be able to say goodbye.
Mythic Quest was one of the first shows that launched on Apple TV+, debuting in February 2020. There have been four seasons and two special episodes, including one that was filmed remotely on iPhones during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Apple's decision to cancel Mythic Quest follows reports of Apple TV+ losses. Apple TV+ is losing as much as $1 billion per year as Apple works to lure subscribers and add more content to the streaming service.
Mythic Quest has spawned a spinoff show called Side Quest, a four episode miniseries that explores the lives of Mythic Quest employees and players. The final episode of season four aired on March 26 and ended with a cliffhanger. The re-edited final episode with a new ending will be available this week.

Thank you for all the laughs and giggles. <3
I agree, the walking dead pretty much killed all future box sets / series for me. I never quite found the courage to get through the last season after suffering the churn for so long.
I can’t find the answer either. Will it be the same episode with the end edited or a different episode?
A bit sad that this show was canceled. It was one that I was always looking forward to every week when it was airing new. After watching the new ending, I feel like they could have done it differently. Like keeping the original ending and maybe adding another line or two to it, instead of completely replacing it.
The original ending, they kissed as the cliffhanger. New ending they just hugged and got awkward.
