Apple TV+ Orders ‘Mythic Quest’ Companion Series ‘Mere Mortals’

The Mythic Quest universe is expanding. Apple TV+ has ordered Mere Mortals, an eight-episode companion series from Mythic Quest star Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris and Katie McElhenney.

Mere Mortals, which will feature entirely new characters, will explore the lives of employees, players, and fans who are impacted by the game at the center of Mythic Quest. The new series takes a page out of the departure episodes of Mythic Quest, including the upcoming episode “Sarian,” set to premiere Friday; last year’s “Everlight,”; season one’s “A Dark Quiet Death”; “Backstory!” from Mythic Quest season two; and, the standalone episode, “Mythic Quest: Quarantine.”
