Apple TV+ has announced that they’ve officially renewed Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day’s hit comedy series Mythic Quest for two more seasons, with writer’s room for the third season set to open later this year. The renewal comes after over five months since the series had debuted its 9-episode second season, which currently holds a 100% Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The announcement also came with a hilarious video, which you can check out below, featuring a funny exchange between McElhenney, and Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins, whose guest-starring voice appearance in the last season had earned him an Emmy award for Outstanding Narrator. It also featured Emmy winner Jason Sudeikis, who unbelievably tells Hopkins that he has to audition first before he could guest star in Ted Lasso.
