Apple’s ‘Mythic Quest’ is ending with an updated Season 4 finale

“Mythic Quest,” the Apple TV+ workplace comedy about the making of a popular online roleplaying game, is ending after four seasons.

A new version of the show’s fourth season finale — first aired on March 26, and now the de facto series finale — will premiere on Apple TV+ next week, with a new ending.

Longtime TV fans are used to the disappointment of a prematurely canceled show, and it can feel like a relief when the creators get to wrap up their story with an abbreviated final season, a TV movie, or even extra scenes added to an already-filmed episode. Even more unusual is what Apple is doing here, with a new ending getting edited into an episode that already aired.

In a statement provided to Variety, executive producers Megan Ganz, David Hornsby, and Rob McElhenney said that “with Apple’s blessing we made one final update to our last episode — so we could say goodbye, instead of just game over.”
