At Ubisoft's E3 event this afternoon, Rob McElhenney, known for "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, today shared some new details on his upcoming TV show for Apple TV+, "Mythic Quest," along with a new trailer for the series.
"Mythic Quest" features a team of game developers who work on a massive multiplayer roleplaying game called, as the name suggests, Mythic Quest, which is similar to World of Warcraft or Everquest, only bigger.
The team is about to put out "Raven's Banquet," a new expansion. Rob McElhenney stars as Ian Grimm, the leader of the company developing Mythic Quest. In the trailer, the video announcing the new expansion turns out to be a video of Grimm, and all his employees criticize it.
The show also includes F. Murray Abraham, Imani Hakim, David Hornsby, Danny Pudi, Ashly Burch, Charlotte Nicdao, and Jessie Ennis. It was created by McElhenney and Charlie Day, though Day is not in the show. The show was revealed at Ubisoft's E3 event because the "Mythic Quest" creators partnered with Ubisoft to learn how a real game development studio works.
Apple hasn't yet shared the trailer on its Apple TV+ YouTube channel, but it was shown in the livestream at about two hours in, and is available in the video above. Apple will likely have the trailer available on its own YouTube channel soon.
Apple also recently shared a full trailer for another one of its shows, "For All Mankind," which explores what would have happened had the space race never ended.

That the soviets were able to start with most of their people living in log huts farming beets pre-war, pump every resource into WWII, do the majority of fighting, fight both sides of that war, suffer enormous losses, emerge not with giant blank cheques from the world’s new bank for rebuilding, but with a country in ruins and 2-3 missing generations of manpower, then lose millions more of their intellectuals, gays, scientists and highest producers in Stalins purges and murderous authoritarianism, and yet still manage to scrape what is essentially a gaggle of enormous frontier countries together back into industrialization, and actually function well enough to try to keep people fed, quickly rebuild entire industries with no capital, develop a TON of scientific and engineering research, nuclear, aerospace technology the world still uses today, as well as an absurd amount of quality output in literature, music, ballet, etc... as well as fund 30 other bankrupt countries around the world as well, and do this all while operating not as an equal player in trade on the world stage, but isolated by siege tactics from the US (sudden inheritor of 95% of the world’s Old Money) + every other country that wanted a slice of that pie, in an economic war against them... and manage to last for half a century... it’s pretty amazing any of that happened at all.
It’s almost unthinkable that they were able to end up in space at all, much less whoop the US’s butt nearly every step of the way up until the moonshot. I’m no fan of Russia or its gloomy history, but we’re presently flying into space on old Soviet spaceships, not British, French, or even German (well, to an extent) spaceships.
When people flippantly remark about how the space race was a dud because the soviet collapse was inevitable because this or that part of their country wasn’t “superior” to ours, I can see why every generation, more and more kids who look into it are left thinking it might be worth another look. And then they see the fate of present day Russia after the western capitalist reforms, collapse of the union, the oligarchy and poverty, and our ill-fitting old oversimplified propaganda read rings a little hollow.
But come on Germany, with all those engineers & manufacturers, & your de facto empire again, where the hell is your space program...
