Rob McElhenney in Mythic Quest season 4 with Charlie Day in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Apple TV+'s Mythic Quest is a comedy series centered on the team behind a leading multiplayer video game. The show follows them as they build worlds, mold heroes, and create legends - all while dealing with office drama. Easily one of the best series on any streaming platform, it features perfect comedic timing, but also causes viewers to look inward at times. Season 4 has heavy themes of work-life balance and creative teams versus management teams, something that everyone can relate to.
Posts ScreenRant interviewed Rob McElhenney about the new season of Mythic Quest. He offers insight into his own struggles with being on both the creative and management side of things, not only with Mythic Quest, but with Always Sunny as well. McElhenney also reveals why the time jump mid-season needed to happen not only to push the story forward, but because of real life events.
So I had a lot of experience with it, which makes things a lot easier, but in some ways it makes things a lot harder, too, because I'm sort of in that centrist position where I can understand. At first, when you're just a creative you're like,"Oh, it's all just a bunch of suits, and they don't know what they're talking about. Leave it. Let us be free to make our art.
Rob McElhenney: Yeah. I mean, look, some of its scheduling, and some of it was just finding the best time to bring him in and a character that we knew he would crush. We've been talking about it for years, because I spend half, I mean, literally, spend more than half the year with him, every day together in a room. So it was just a matter of timing and finding that right character. We knew right from the very beginning that that character was probably going to be written for him.
So that is what creates, I think, really complex and fun characters to write. People who love each other but don't like each other, but are forced together, because together, they are better at creating that thing than when they are apart. It's like a band who you find out hate each other, but they make this beautiful music together. Is the world better off for it, okay? And if that's the case, then they have to navigate the difficulties of their relationship.
I remember she called us and obviously, gave us this incredible news, and was concerned about how it would affect the show. And we were like,"This is the greatest gift you could give us." First of all, always, you approach those situations as a human being first, and you're so happy for her and her family, and then you go,"Great. Now this gives us an opportunity to write to it, and it gives us so much more to write about.
