Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris, and Katie McElhenney created Side Quest as a miniseries to expand on the Mythic Quest universe, specifically through the lens of the game's players. Following the impactful episode "A Dark Quiet Death," which showcased a shift in the storytelling approach, Side Quest purposefully continues that vein by introducing new characters and returning favorites. Unlike the original series that centered on the developers as god-like creators, Side Quest delivers stories about the real people engaging with the game, thus enriching its overarching narrative.
When we first started writing Mythic Quest, we talked about how these characters are sort of like gods who are creating this virtual world... Side Quest is about the players who made Mythic Quest a hit.
Halfway through its first season, Apple's Mythic Quest threw a wild curveball with 'A Dark Quiet Death' - an unexpectedly dramatic episode that chronicled the rise and fall of another video game development team.
