The return of 'Mythic Quest' on Apple TV+ for Season 4 brings back well-loved characters including Ian and Poppy, who are tasked with redefining their partnership. Rob McElhenney, who plays Ian, discusses the shift in focus to Ian's psyche and the need for character growth. With the introduction of new elements, including a potentially disruptive character, the dynamics established in Season 3 evolve further. The writer's room draws inspiration from human experiences, which informs the writing process as the cast navigates their complex relationships.
Last year we really dove deep into Poppy, and this year we thought it would be interesting to dive deep into the psyche of Ian Grimm. The wake that he leaves behind is always such a central part of the storytelling, but we don't really get into what makes him tick in the way that we did with Poppy in Season 3.
So we thought it would be really fun and interesting to do that in Season 4. And to watch as this guy, who has to really take a look in the mirror and if he is going to try to keep his partner-who he desperately needs in his life- he's going to have to make some changes.
Things will obviously be different for the pair, and that's apparent right in the first ten minutes of this season's first episode (enter a new hunky character who may create some havoc). But, overall, the balancing act explored in Season 3 continues in Season 4 to new levels of the playing field.
