If you’ve ever wrestled with how to balance creativity with success, Mythic Quest may hold the answers you’re looking for.

Mythic Quest is a workplace comedy on Apple TV+ about a fictional company that produces a popular video game. This show is the brainchild of Ubisoft, the makers of Assassin’s Creed.

Ubisoft worked with Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Megan Ganz to create the show. All three hail from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

The trio wanted a workplace comedy that was an authentic portrayal of the gaming industry with the same quirky brand of workplace antics and self-deprecating humor from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Sure, Mythic Quest is about the ever-changing, never boring office antics that keep the Ravens Banquet game afloat, but the show dares to go beyond the typical workplace escapades.

Mythic Quest is bold enough to ask the question we’ve all wondered about in our professional lives: how do creativity and success shape who we are and who we want to be on our quest to be great?

Mythic Quest is the same and different from The Office.
