The fourth and final season of the madcap workplace comedy Mythic Quest just got a premiere date. Ian, Poppy, David and the rest return to Apple TV+ on January 29.

But that’s not the end. The spinoff Side Quest launches in March.

Mythic Quest season 4! Huzzah!

Those unfortunates unfamiliar with Mythic Quest should know that it’s a gamer-themed workplace comedy. It follows a group of deeply eccentric developers who build worlds, mold heroes and create legends. But their hardest-fought battles don’t take place in the game – they happen in the office.

Apple TV+ says that in season four, “the reunited team at Mythic Quest confronts new challenges amongst a changing video game landscape as stars rise, egos clash, relationships bloom and everyone tries to have a little more work-life balance.”

Rob McElhenney, Charlotte Nicdao, David Hornsby, Danny Pudi, Ashly Burch, Imani Hakim, Jessie Ennis and Naomi Ekperigin will be back together on Wednesday, January 29. Mythic Quest season four kicks off with two episodes, and these will be followed by a new one each Wednesday through March 26.

Apple TV+ subscribers can get caught up on the first three seasons now.
