'Mythic Quest' season 4 returns to Apple TV+ on January 29

Apple will be bringing back "Mythic Quest" to Apple TV+ for its fourth season in the new year, with spin-off series "Side Quest" to air right after its conclusion.

Arriving over three years after Apple renewed the show, "Mythic Quest" is finally nearing the release of its fourth season. It's also going to bring along its spin-off, renamed "Side Quest" from the original title "Mere Mortals."

The main show, "Mythic Quest," will start from January 29 with two new episodes, reports Variety. One new episode will be released every week, until it ends on March 26.

"Side Quest" will debut on March 26, coinciding with the conclusion.

Star Rob McElhenney offered an initial hint in September that the fourth season was on the way. A post to X responded to fan's query with a photograph of co-stars in front of the show's logo.

The spin-off "Side Quest" will follow the same show characters, but will be more in line with episodes like "Dark Quiet Death" or "Backstory!" This will allow the series to tell other stories outside the plot of the main show.

"Side Quest" is written by Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris, and Kate McElhenney. Cast members from "Mythic Quest" will appear in the spin-off, including star McElhenney.
