The comedy series Mythic Quest will expand its universe of beloved characters with Mere Mortals, a new eight-episode extension series, Apple TV+ announced recently. 

Mere Mortals will explore the lives of employees, players and fans, who are impacted by the game. The new extension series takes a page out of the acclaimed departure episodes of Mythic Quest, including the upcoming episode Sarian, set to make its global debut on Apple TV+ this Friday. Created by Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Megan Ganz, the Mythic Quest is in the third season.

Mere Mortals is written by Mythic Quest star Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris and Katie McElhenney. 

According to the streaming platform, Mythic Quest follows a group of video game developers tasked with building worlds, moulding heroes and creating legends, but the most hard-fought battles don't occur in the game — they happen in the office. In season three, as Ian and Poppy navigate the gaming world and their partnership at the newly formed GrimPop Studios, Dana is forced to play mediator to her bosses’ incessant bickering.
