Fans Outraged as Apple TV+ Axes Mythic Quest: What Happened?

Moving forward in the TV lineup for 2025, there’s been an ongoing trend of series cancellations. The latest streaming platform to make such a move is Apple TV+, and the affected show is none other than “Mythic Quest,” the studio-focused comedy created by Rob McElhenney and featuring him as one of its stars. Following this announcement, viewers have been expressing their reactions on social media, with many expressing disappointment or confusion.

The show “Mythic Quest,” often considered one of the top shows on Apple TV+, ran for four seasons before it ended in March of this year. It has been announced that an alternate ending will be added to the final episode of season 4 (the series finale) on April 18, as reported by Variety. One fan, @mackenzieGNF, expressed their reaction through a gif-filled post on X.

User @prongsy openly expressed their disappointment about the same decision made on the platform, not just mourning the end of the sitcom, but also voicing some critical opinions regarding the streaming service where it aired.

Deeply saddened that a modern media platform recently decided to end a series I deeply admire. Farewell, Mythic Quest. You were truly remarkable. Shame on you, Apple.

This version retains the original’s emotional tone while using more natural and easy-to-read language.

Rob McElhenney, along with Charlie Day and Megan Ganz, jointly developed the show, which debuted in February 2020. The heart of the series revolves around the team at the video game studio responsible for producing the hit MMORPG game featured in the title. Throughout its four-season run, the show includes a mix of drama, comedic antics, and even an episode set during a quarantine period. When considering the comedy series, @Parzival_200 commented that it was “extraordinary” and expressed some thoughts on its termination.

Expressing it differently: This decision seems incredibly narrow-minded, considering how brilliantly Mythic Quest managed to blend humor and drama, all while delving into the complexities of the gaming industry. Although I’m disappointed, I’m grateful for the seasons we’ve been privileged to watch.

As a dedicated fan, I’m eagerly anticipating the alternate ending that’s been announced. The specifics are still under wraps, but it’s intriguing to speculate whether this extra scene might offer some form of resolution for the series. Eric Goldman, an entertainment journalist, expressed some uncertainty about the implications of this additional scene, yet he also expressed a positive outlook.

I’m disappointed that Mythic Quest has been canceled, as I’m both puzzled and intrigued by this new finale, which seems to be something beyond what most shows receive after cancellation. Regardless, I’ll surely miss the series and its charming characters.

It seems that subscribers of Apple TV+ haven’t been given an official explanation for the cancellation of the game-focused show. My guess is that the program failed to attract the viewership Apple anticipated, but since they don’t openly share their data, it’s challenging to confirm this hypothesis with absolute certainty.

Despite the circumstances, it’s difficult not to be disheartened as another series comes to an end. In a statement, the creators admitted that “endings are challenging,” but they were also proud of the show and the universe they had the opportunity to develop, and expressed gratitude to every cast and crew member who put their heart into it.

It’s reassuring, I guess, that there’s another piece of Mythic Quest content on the horizon for fans. Fingers crossed, this alternate ending will provide a satisfying conclusion to the series. In the interim, take a look at the upcoming lineup on Apple TV+ if you’re in need of a new TV series to watch.
