The original ending of Mythic Quest Season 4 was the first TV show finale that made me literally scream out loud in frustration.

Thankfully, when Apple TV+ announced its cancellation, after Side Quest’s premiere, they changed the ending.

Mythic Quest has always earned praise for showcasing Poppy and Ian’s toxic but thrilling friendship since the beginning of the series.

So, a large population of fans were upset when Poppy and Ian shared a kiss right before Poppy left to be with her boyfriend in Europe.

The show cut the kiss scene out from the last episode once word got out that the show would be ending for good.

That doesn’t mean that their decision to force a last-minute romance between Poppy and Ian has gone under the radar.

Poppy and Ian’s Friendship Has Always Been Sacred

Friendships between male and female lead characters are far fewer than romantic relationships.

Michael‘s announcement came on the same day as the release of his solo album, Sidequest. Michael, who is a founding member of 5 Seconds of Summer, is the last member of the band to release solo music. He announced his plans to release a solo album earlier in 2025 and released his first solo single,...

5 Seconds of Summer’s Michael Clifford will release his debut solo album Sidequest on July 25th. He is the third member of the group to launch a solo career.

Clifford’s album announcement came with the arrival of new single “Give Me a Break!” The song features Awsten Knight of Waterparks and has the pair reflecting on losing one’s identity in the face of burning out and criticism. Like lead single “Cool,” Clifford returns to his band’s pop-punk roots.

“I’d been really wanting to create something unique with Awsten and Waterparks,...

Exclusive: Production is currently underway on the indie feature Otra in Atlanta and Puerto Rico with Rome Flynn, María Gabriela de Faría (The Moodys), Flor Delis Alicea and Aria Celeste Castillo leading the cast.

From longtime Tyler Perry collaborator Armani Ortiz in his solo directorial debut, Otra is an emotionally charged new-age Latino musical that redefines the boundaries of the genre, shot entirely in a single, continuous take.

“I’ve been dreaming and planning for this project for the better part of five years, and for it to be my first solo debut feature film feels like fate,” Ortiz shared in a statement to Deadline. “From a filmmaking perspective, I really wanted to do something that the audience has never seen before—the first-ever one-shot musical in cinema history. And if there happens...

Calum Hood is still in the chaos realm of his forthcoming debut solo studio album Order Chaos Order, out June 13. The musician’s latest single, “Call Me When You Know Better,” digs deeper into the themes of critical self-reflection that surfaced on his previous release, “Don’t Forget You Love Me.”

“‘Call Me When You Know Better’ is a love letter in the form of an apology,” Hood shared in a statement. “For maybe not being the best lover or friend to the people who mean the most to me.

Apple TV+ has some of the best TV series around, even if seemingly no one is watching them. Most notably, the streamer is home to a myriad of incredible sci-fi shows, all of which are given the time (and budget!) to tell stories both epic and intimate in scope, transporting us to incredible and fully-realized worlds along the way. But that is not all; Apple TV+ has also produced new movies by some of our most celebrated auteur directors, including Ridley Scott and Martin Scorsese.

Now that the streamer has been around for several years, it's begun to develop its own franchises as well. (Such is the way in Hollywood.) "For All Mankind," for example, is getting a spin-off series centered on Roscosmos, the Russian space agency featured in the acclaimed sci-fi show. Meanwhile, the now-canceled "Mythic Quest" has already given rise to one of the platform's most underrated shows.

Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Megan Ganz’s comedy series Mythic Quest is one of the interesting shows streaming on Apple TV+. The comedy series that follows a team at a fictional video game studio that produces an Mmorpg called Mythic Quest holds a 96% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes.

McElhenney, who is not only the co-creator of the show but also stars as the lead. The actor revealed that the idea behind the show was a result of his discussion with video game developer Ubisoft, who expressed their interest in producing a show about video games. Mythic Quest’s fan-favorite character made a return after two seasons before the studio canceled the show.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia actress Kaitlin Olson was dubbed the funniest woman on TV by her husband, Rob McElhenney. The It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-creator was speaking to The Guardian following the release of Side Quest, an anthology comedy series surrounding video game culture.

Side Quest is a spin-off of the comedy series Mythic Quest, which follows a fictional video game-making studio that is known for making an Mmorpg that is pretty popular in-universe. Rob McElhenney was one of the creatives on the show and decided to speak about his relationship with Kaitlin Olson.

When there were allegations that Rob McElhenney had allegedly had an affair, Kaitlin Olson came out to defend her long-time partner in the most hilarious way possible.

Created by Charlie Day, Megan Ganz, and Rob McElhenney, Apple TV+’s comedy series Mythic Quest was developed after a discussion he had with video game developer Ubisoft. The company has assisted the makers of the show in designing the video game characters and game world. The creators of Mythic Quest were also assisted in developing the details of the video game showcased in the series in order to have an authentic approach.

Critics upon its release shared that Mythic Quest duly explores the gaming industry with utmost sincerity and intelligence. The show was among the first original series to premiere on the streaming platform and went on to receive a positive response from the audience as well, but it was announced that it wouldn’t be returning for season five. Here’s why!

Apple TV cancels Mythic Quest after four successful seasons, but leaves a surprise for the viewers

To everyone’s surprise,...

Exclusive: Kai Parham (Colin in Black and White) and Michael Ealy have joined the cast of Prime Video’s The Greatest, a limited series about the life of Muhammad Ali (Jaalen Best), from executive producer Michael B. Jordan and executive producer/showrunner Ben Watkins.

The series will feature the defining moments in Ali’s life and career — both in and out of the ring — that have been well documented and moments that took place outside the spotlight. The world remembers an icon, but The Greatest is about a man, a husband, a father, a brother, and a son.

In a series regular role, Parham will play Rudy Clay, Ali’s younger brother. In a recurring role, Ealy will (finally) play Malcolm X.

Throughout his career, Ealy’s name has been mentioned repeatedly as the actor fans would most like to see portray Malcolm X.

It's lights out for Mq: Apple TV+'s hilarious yet under-the-radar comedy series "Mythic Quest" has officially been canceled, per Deadline. The outlet reports that the fourth season of the series about a group of endearingly dysfunctional game designers, which began streaming in January 2025, is actually its last.

In a rare move for the cutthroat streaming era, though, the show was reportedly given the chance to add on to its already-premiered finale, "so we could say goodbye, instead of just game over," co-creators Megan Ganz and Rob McElhenney and executive producer David Hornsby explained in a statement. "Mythic Quest," a show about the wild satisfaction of creation and the tooth-pulling pain of collaboration, starred McElhenney and Charlotte Nicdao as a self-obsessed innovator and an underappreciated game engineer, respectively. While the show started off parodying the behind-the-scenes drama of a "World of Warcraft" style online game, it developed into something more unique over time.

Mythic Quest, the Apple TV+ series partly created by It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day, is officially ending its journey, as the show will end after its fourth season. However, even though the series itself will done, the creators are going to ensure that the loyal fans will get a nice surprise that will give the show the send-off they deserve.

The fourth season of Mythic Quest just concluded last month. Yet, the finale, “Heaven and Hell” wasn’t meant to be a series finale. Thus, a revised version set to air this week will serve as a true conclusion.

A joint statement was issued by McElhenney, Mythic Quest co-creator Megan Ganz and EP/co-star David Hornsby. “Endings are hard. But after four incredible seasons, Mythic Quest is coming to a close. We’re so proud of the show and the world we got...

You know Rob McElhenney as the guy who made It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the show that somehow convinced us to root for a gang of sociopaths running a bar with no morals, no ambition, and zero understanding of consequences. But after nearly two decades of absurd chaos with Charlie, Mac, Dennis, Dee, and Frank, McElhenney decided to turn his world-building skills to the next dysfunctional ecosystem, the video game industry.

Then came Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet, a slick, chaotic, and surprisingly heartfelt series about the studio behind a massive online RPG that makes World of Warcraft look like Minesweeper. It’s a show where debugging code is somehow as dramatic as Game of Thrones, minus the dragons, but with just as much betrayal.

But why did McElhenney, a guy best known for screaming about karate and cats, suddenly...

It’s game over for Ian Grimm.

Next week, AppleTV+ will release the reworked Season Four finale of Rob McElhenney’s workplace comedy Mythic Quest that will now serve as the show’s final episode following its unexpected and unusual cancellation. Apple announced the end of the series yesterday evening, less than three weeks after the streamer released the original Mythic Quest Season Four finale and followed it up with the spin-off miniseries Side Quest, and the show’s executive producers, Megan Ganz, David Hornsby and McElhenney quickly sent a statement on the shocking plug-pull to Variety, writing:

“Endings are hard. But after four incredible seasons, Mythic Quest is coming to a close. We’re so proud of the show and the world we got to build — and deeply grateful to every cast and crew member who poured their heart into it. To all our fans, thank you for playing with us.

Apple TV+ has canceled Mythic Quest after four seasons.

The workplace comedy's fourth season premiered on January 29 and concluded on March 26. However, the Season 4 finale was not intended to conclude the series, so Apple TV+ will release a rewritten episode next week to send the show off properly.

To all our fans, thank you for playing with us.

Mythic Quest is logging off for good. The chaotic, code-crashing comedy from Rob McElhenney has officially been cancelled. But let’s face it: the biggest plot twist wasn’t in the show. It was the behind-the-scenes rage from actual game devs.

Turns out, while we were laughing at broken builds and ego clashes, some real-world developers were grinding their teeth. McElhenney might’ve wrapped up his pixelated sitcom, but his legacy’s stirring the pot in the gaming industry like a troll in a dev forum.

Mythic Quest is officially game over. Rob McElhenney’s Apple TV+ workplace comedy has been cancelled, and while fans are mourning, game devs are still a little salty.

From day one,...

Apple TV+ has ended Mythic Quest after four seasons. The final episode of the workplace comedy aired on March 26 but will now be re-released with an updated ending. The revised version will be available next week on the platform.

The creators of the series — Megan Ganz, David Hornsby, and Rob McElhenney — confirmed the cancellation and shared a statement acknowledging the decision and the final update. “Endings are hard. But after four incredible seasons, Mythic Quest is coming to a close,” the team said. “We’re so proud of the show and the world we got to build — and deeply grateful to every cast and crew member who poured their heart into it.

To all our fans, thank you for playing with us. To our partners at Apple, thank you for believing in the vision from the very beginning. Because endings are hard, with Apple’s blessing we made one final...

The beloved Apple TV+ series Mythic Quest has been canceled after four seasons. Created by Charlie Day, Megan Ganz, and star Rob McElhenney, the show focused on Ian Grimm (McElhenney) and Poppy Li (Charlotte Nicdao) and their work on the game, Mythic Quest. Through ups and downs with who was in charge as David (David Hornsby) tried to keep some semblance of a workplace balance, the series was known for being heartwarming and emotional. It has some of the most beautiful standout episodes on Apple TV+ as a platform.

“Endings are hard. But after four incredible seasons, ‘Mythic Quest’ is coming to a close,” said Ganz, Hornsby, and McElhenney in an exclusive to Variety. “We’re so proud of the show and the world we got to build—and deeply grateful to every cast and crew member who poured their heart into it. To all our fans, thank you for playing with us.

Apple TV+’s Mythic Quest has come to an end. The streamer has opted not to renew the gaming workplace comedy series for a fifth season. The decision comes days after the Season 4 finale dropped March 26.

Since it had not been conceived as a series finale, the Season 4 finale will now get a new ending to give fans closure. The updated episode will be made available next week.

“Endings are hard. But after four incredible seasons, Mythic Quest is coming to a close. We’re so proud of the show and the world we got to build — and deeply grateful to every cast and crew member who poured their heart into it,” series creators/executive producers Megan Ganz, David Hornsby and Rob McElhenney said in a statement Friday. “To all our fans, thank you for playing with us. To our partners at Apple, thank you for believing in the vision from the very beginning.

It’s game over for Apple TV+’s Mythic Quest: The Rob McElhenney-led comedy set in the world of video games has been cancelled after four seasons, TVLine has confirmed. (Our sister site Variety first reported the news.)

The story isn’t over for fans yet, though: The series finale “will be updated with a special new ending, bringing the series to its final chapter,” and the updated finale will begin streaming next week, a source tells TVLine.

“Mythic Quest” has been canceled after four seasons at Apple TV+, but the workplace comedy is not gone for good just yet, TheWrap has learned.

As a special sendoff for the series and its fans, the finale episode of Season 4, which aired March 26, will be adapted to formally bring the series’ final chapter to a close. The updated finale episode is set to premiere on Apple TV+ next week.

“Endings are hard. But after four incredible seasons, ‘Mythic Quest’ is coming to a close. We’re so proud of the show and the world we got to build — and deeply grateful to every cast and crew member who poured their heart into it,” executive producers Megan Ganz, David Hornsby and Rob McElhenney said in a joint statement. “Because endings are hard, with Apple’s blessing we made one final update to our last episode — so we could say goodbye, instead of just game over.

The Apple TV+ comedy “Mythic Quest” has been canceled after four seasons, Variety has learned exclusively. The series aired its fourth season finale on March 26 following its January debut. It had been renewed for Seasons 3 and 4 back in 2021.

But in true video game style, the show is getting an extra life. An updated finale episode with a new ending will premiere next week on Apple TV+.

“Endings are hard. But after four incredible seasons, ‘Mythic Quest’ is coming to a close,” said series executive producers Megan Ganz, David Hornsby, and Rob McElhenney. “We’re so proud of the show and the world we got to build—and deeply grateful to every cast and crew member who poured their heart into it.

From gaming to Hollywood, these shows explore creative industries gone off the rails.

“Mythic Quest” just wrapped up Season 4, leaving behind a vacuum where there used to be hilarious power plays, awkward office politics, and that constant tug-of-war between creativity and ego. The team behind it has been on a roll ever since “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” and they’ve managed to make game development feel like the most dysfunctional, dramatic workplace on TV — in the best way.

But just because the season’s over doesn’t mean you have to stop watching smart, satirical shows about messy people trying to make stuff. There’s a handful of comedies out there that tap into the same vibe — sharp writing, creative chaos, and plenty of behind-the-scenes drama. If you’re looking to fill that “Mythic Quest”-shaped gap in your queue, these next picks are definitely worth a stream.

Mythic Quest...

Back in 2015, 5 Seconds of Summer inadvertently immortalized one of the most unnerving events in their lore-packed history when they titled a deep cut on their sophomore album “Catch Fire.” Months before the record arrived on the pop rock-infused Sounds Good, Feels Good, their guitarist Michael Clifford was burned by pyrotechnics onstage during a concert in London. He physically recovered, but after nearly a decade, the incident and the whirlwind experience of enduring the early years of 5Sos are still stirring up new contemplations. Only this time, Clifford is dissecting them...

Side Quest is an anthology spinoff set within the Mythic Quest universe. The series offers self-contained episodes that bring together both well-known characters and fresh faces. Each episode follows a distinct narrative, portraying the experiences of individuals as they confront challenges tied to creative work and the digital era.

Whether it’s a humorous interruption during a vacation or an unexpected encounter in a bustling city, every story presents a moment that speaks directly to the modern experience of balancing personal life with professional demands.

The show brings a playful energy to the established world of Mythic Quest while embracing a narrative form that lets each episode stand on its own. With its varied storytelling and inventive structure, Side Quest presents a series of brief yet memorable portraits that capture the spirit of contemporary life.

Apple TV+'s March lineup has been stacked. From Peter Craig's brand-new series Dope Thief starring Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura to the star-studded The Studio led by the ever-brilliant Seth Rogen, there is something for everyone on the streamer this month. Another of the exciting new titles to debut on Apple TV+ is the hotly-anticipated spinoff series to the hugely popular Mythic Quest from the minds of Charlie Day, Megan Ganz, and Rob McElhenney.

Aptly titled Side Quest, the four-part series follows the lives of employees, players, and fans of the aforementioned Mythic Quest, the popular Mmorpg at the heart of the original series. With some skepticism about the ability of this spinoff to maintain the high quality of the original series whilst venturing into different avenues of the world, it looks as if those skeptics have been proven wrong, at least if early reviews are to be believed.

Throughout its ups and downs, Mythic Quest always brought a lighthearted spin to a traditionally-heavily-stressful work environment. In spite of crunch, coding sprints, personnel turnover, and Hr conflicts, they always managed to eek out the next big thing, from the original Mq launch to the later success of their game-building software, PlayPen, a clear reference to the modern Roblox, to Ian and Poppy's innovative expansion "Elysium" to cap off season 4.

We have watched this ragtag team struggle with age, identity, community, and work-life balance, exploring these concepts as they arise within a fast-paced technical industry which is often as white as it is male. While the finale left a handful of dangling threads, the show would feel long and drawn out if it were to be renewed, storylines that have been in the works for years are pretty much all tied up.

There is no word about the showrunners seeking renewal,...

Side Quest is finally here.

Described as an expansion of the Mythic Quest universe, Side Quest explores the lives of employees, players and fans who are impacted by the game in an anthology format.

The show launched on Apple TV+ on Wednesday (March 26).

All four episodes of the series premiered the same day as the fourth season finale of Mythic Quest.

An episodic anthology series…. that’s a spinoff… of an Apple show… with no relation to “Ted Lasso” or “Severance” — in this economy?! Not a single word of that pitch should inspire confidence in anyone, let alone professional TV programmers, yet Rob McElhenney & Co. successfully sold Apple TV+ on the new “Mythic Quest” spinoff, “Side Quest.”

Developed and executive produced by Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris, and Katie McElhenney (Rob’s sister), “Side Quest” is inspired by the original series’ well-received departure episodes, the first of which was written by Katie and directed by Rob. “A Dark Quiet Death” is the fifth episode of “Mythic Quest’s” first season, and rather than continue the chronological story following Ian (McElhenney) and Poppy (Charlotte Nicdao) as they to build on the success of their hit Mmorpg, the episode jumps back a few decades, introduces two brand-new characters, and doesn’t connect to...

I’m not the first to note that entertainment studios’ terror of gambling and losing on original stories has made it so that nearly every project that makes it in front of our eyes — including literally all 10 of last year’s biggest movies — belongs to a franchise. We all know the big ones, but this goes beyond the MCU, the Dceu, Star Wars, Star Trek and the Disney princesses: We’re now living in a world where The Big Bang Theory is about to launch its third spin-off. Even shows on AppleTV+ — a platform that, famously, no one watches, and that we just learned is losing its parent company more than $1 billion a year — are becoming franchises: as Mythic Quest spins off the anthology show Side Quest, I think we can officially say franchise fever has gone too far.

Since it’s extremely likely that this is the first time you’re hearing about it,...

If there’s one thing Apple TV+’s Mythic Quest loves, it’s a detour. This has been true since the very first season, which paused midway through for a one-off about two characters we hadn’t met before and haven’t seen since. It’s remained so through subsequent seasons that devoted entire episodes to detailing the backstories of members from the core ensemble, or catching up with a minor character we hadn’t seen in years.

Now it extends all the way to the series’ first spinoff, Side Quest. As the cute title might suggest, this is essentially a Mythic Quest that’s nothing but those standalone chapters — that steps well outside Mq HQ to explore the other corners of the show’s universe, one quirky tale at a time. But as it turns out, a detour’s only a detour when there’s a set path to be deviating from.

It feels like a lost art in 2025, but the spinoff of a comedy series remains a popular proposition for TV creatives. However, if your show is not directly tied to surprisingly big IPs, like Big Bang Theory or 9-1-1, TV executives seem less likely to buy the pitch. Side Quest comes from the writers of Mythic Quest, specifically Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris, and Katie McElhenney.

With Rob McElhenney returning briefly, the show hopes to expand the world created by Mythic Quest, instead focusing on the people at the edges of the series. In some moments, Side Quest recreates the brilliance the show has been known for with its tangent episodes. However, one cannot help but wonder if these episodes would have been stronger in the context of the existing show.

Side Quest – The Plots

Embracing an anthology style, Side Quest tells four stories in the world of Mythic Quest.

The spinoff follows fans, players, and industry misfits pulled into the world of ‘Mythic Quest.’

When a workplace comedy is set inside a video game studio, things are bound to get weird—and that’s exactly what made “Mythic Quest” such a standout hit. The Apple TV+ series carved out its own lane by mixing absurd office politics with the chaotic world of game development. Now, the creators are leveling up. “Side Quest” is a new anthology spin-off that zooms out from the dev team to spotlight the players, superfans, and industry misfits touched by the game’s massive reach. All four episodes drop on Wednesday, March 26, only on Apple TV+.

Earlier this year, worlds collided when the stars of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia dropped into Willard R. Abbott Elementary School. This summer, it'll be Abbott Elementary's turn to invade Paddy's Pub. Abbott's William Stanford Davis recently spoke to Collider's Joe Schmidt about the upcoming crossover's conclusion. Davis teased the upcoming second half of the crossover, which will be harder-edged thanks to the R-rated nature of Always Sunny:

"You've already seen the Abbott [Elementary] portion of it, [but not] the Always Sunny portion. But you know, you got saints and sinners everywhere. And Abbott is the saint part of it, because I can't tell you what these guys are going to be doing, but it's pretty crazy, and I'd get in trouble. I was told specifically, do not talk about that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia part of the crossover."

He was able to share his fond memories of working...

In all its ups and downs, Mythic Quest always stays true to its core conceit: a workplace comedy about a video game company, and all the interpersonal baggage that accompanies the creatives tasked with building said games. Side Quest, which Apple TV+ announced as its new spinoff, features a similar, if not identical premise, this time focusing on the plights of the lower-level and developmental employees.

Both the Mythic Quest season 4 finale and the Side Quest premiere will be streaming on Wednesday, March 26, 2025. The new series serves as an expansion of the established universe, per a press release. It will focus on the lives of employees, players and fans who are impacted by the game in an anthology format. All four episodes will be released that day for a binge-watch!

Spring is a time for new beginnings, on TV as in life.

The weather shifts, the days grow longer, and fresh possibilities fill the air. A Hollywood satire starring A-listers? Shows with “mob” and “murder” in the title? What about a medical drama (another one)? A beloved romance? How about Jon Hamm and Ramy Youssef testing their voiceover talents — in narration and animation?

That’s what’s on deck for spring 2025. We say our final goodbyes (for now) to “Paradise” and “Severance” and “Yellowjackets,” wipe away our tears and lock back into our screens. As excited as IndieWire is for returning shows (the finales of “You” and “Andor” and more “The Last of Us” and “Poker Face” come to mind), we’re also thrilled to look ahead at the new titles and faces headed to streaming between now and June. From “Side Quest” and “Dying for Sex” to later entries...

The relationship between Rob McElhenney’s many comedy shows is more incestuous than whatever Barbara thought Dennis and Dee were doing back in Season Two.

As McElhenney’s second beloved comedy series Mythic Quest approaches the end of its fourth season, AppleTV+ has announced that it has given the show a greater commitment than Ian Grimm can give to his own son. Last week, AppleTV+ released the trailer for Side Quest, a four-part anthology miniseries that the streamer is marketing as an “expansion” to the Mythic Quest universe. The workplace comedy about a World of Warcraft-style multiplayer video game will use Side Quest to explore “the lives of employees, players and fans who are impacted by the game in an anthology format,” according to the streamer, with special attention paid to the Mythic Quest family in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, apparently.

Immediately after the trailer for Side Quest dropped, fans of...

While watching films can be an engaging and time-efficient experience, there are times when we simply need a TV series that can keep us entertained for days, if not months. For this reason, many critically acclaimed TV shows, like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, and The Vampire Diaries, have an indisputable influence on viewers. With a rising number of these shows being released on Ott platforms, people have difficulty deciding what to binge over the following few days. To help you, we have compiled a list of every TV series that will be available on major streaming services in March 2025, including Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, and others.

March is here, and with it comes some major TV releases sci-fi and fantasy fans will want to pay attention to. Let's go down the line, in chronological order:

First up is Daredevil: Born Again, a revival of the beloved Daredevil series that ran on Netflix for three seasons before Disney cancelled it, loathe to have anything Marvel-related appear on a streaming service it didn't control. It's taken years, but the gang has been reunited: Charlie Cox will step back into the role of Matt Murdock, Elden Henson is his law partner Foggy Nelson, Deborah Ann Woll their co-worker Karen Page, and Vincent D'Onofrio crime kingpin Wilson Fisk.

Fans have been waiting a long time for this comeback. Can the superhero series be as...

Ellen Pompeo recently shared an emotional moment on the set of Grey's Anatomy that had her struggling to keep her emotions in check. She said her daughter also cried at the scene.

"Now or Never," the season finale of Grey's Anatomy Season 5, was an intense, emotional rollercoaster with the fate of Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) and George O'Malley (T.R. Knight) hanging in the balance. When an unrecognizable John Doe is rushed to the emergency room after being hit by a bus, he communicates with Meredith (Pompeo), tracing "007" on her hand -- letting her know he is actually George.

"Double-oh seven. Which, by the way, my daughter had the same reaction when she saw the 007. She literally cried," Pompeo said in an interview with People.

Without a doubt, Apple TV+ has become one of the best streaming services out there. With shows like Severance, Slow Horses, and Ted Lasso under its belt, the platform continues to raise the bar on what it means to make good television. They might be relatively new to the world of streaming, but they’ve managed to rival their competitors rather quickly and successfully. Thankfully, it appears as though the brand-new shows slated to arrive in March will be just as good as the ones they’ve produced in the past.

There might not be a plethora of series heading to Apple TV+ next month, but that doesn’t mean a thing if the few series that will be released are stellar shows, which seems to be the case. Between a crime drama, a Hollywood comedy, and a spin-off of a beloved and established series, viewers won’t want to...

Side Quest is set to launch on March 26 on Apple TV+. It’s a new series that expands on the world of Mythic Quest, the comedy about a video game studio making an Mmorpg. This spin-off, originally called Mere Mortals, will have all four of its episodes released on the same day as the Mythic Quest season four finale.

The show will take on an anthology format, with different actors starring in each episode. It’s created by the writers of Mythic Quest—Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris, and Katie McElhenney—who are also executive producers.

If you’re familiar with the original show, Burch plays Rachel. The show’s creators, Charlie Day, Megan Ganz, and Rob McElhenney, also executive produce this spin-off. Lionsgate, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Ubisoft are the companies behind the production.

If you’re unfamiliar with the show, “Mythic Quest” follows a fictional video game studio’s hilarious and quirky office dynamics, and “Side Quest” will see new and returning characters from that comedic universe.
