The early days of cable were glorious. TV sets didn't go dark for hours at a time. Instead, people had 24-access to whatever entertainment they wanted, and this led to a proliferation of specialty channels that focused on one thing. Enter The Comedy Channel and Ha!, which focused mostly on sitcom reruns and old movies. These two channels would later merge into a single entity, Comedy Central, with a greater emphasis on original programming.

It didn't take long for the Comedy Central to find its footing and release a sizable selection of animated series, sketch comedy shows, and stand-up specials. The channel soon became the place to visit to see what emerging comedic talent was ready to break into the mainstream. Considering that comedy is subjective, it may be difficult to rank the best Comedy Central shows of all time. What's hilarious to one person can be grating to another.

Apple TV+ has ended Mythic Quest after four seasons. The final episode of the workplace comedy aired on March 26 but will now be re-released with an updated ending. The revised version will be available next week on the platform.

The creators of the series — Megan Ganz, David Hornsby, and Rob McElhenney — confirmed the cancellation and shared a statement acknowledging the decision and the final update. “Endings are hard. But after four incredible seasons, Mythic Quest is coming to a close,” the team said. “We’re so proud of the show and the world we got to build — and deeply grateful to every cast and crew member who poured their heart into it.

To all our fans, thank you for playing with us. To our partners at Apple, thank you for believing in the vision from the very beginning. Because endings are hard, with Apple’s blessing we made one final...

Apple TV+’s Mythic Quest has come to an end. The streamer has opted not to renew the gaming workplace comedy series for a fifth season. The decision comes days after the Season 4 finale dropped March 26.

Since it had not been conceived as a series finale, the Season 4 finale will now get a new ending to give fans closure. The updated episode will be made available next week.

“Endings are hard. But after four incredible seasons, Mythic Quest is coming to a close. We’re so proud of the show and the world we got to build — and deeply grateful to every cast and crew member who poured their heart into it,” series creators/executive producers Megan Ganz, David Hornsby and Rob McElhenney said in a statement Friday. “To all our fans, thank you for playing with us. To our partners at Apple, thank you for believing in the vision from the very beginning.

An episodic anthology series…. that’s a spinoff… of an Apple show… with no relation to “Ted Lasso” or “Severance” — in this economy?! Not a single word of that pitch should inspire confidence in anyone, let alone professional TV programmers, yet Rob McElhenney & Co. successfully sold Apple TV+ on the new “Mythic Quest” spinoff, “Side Quest.”

Developed and executive produced by Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris, and Katie McElhenney (Rob’s sister), “Side Quest” is inspired by the original series’ well-received departure episodes, the first of which was written by Katie and directed by Rob. “A Dark Quiet Death” is the fifth episode of “Mythic Quest’s” first season, and rather than continue the chronological story following Ian (McElhenney) and Poppy (Charlotte Nicdao) as they to build on the success of their hit Mmorpg, the episode jumps back a few decades, introduces two brand-new characters, and doesn’t connect to...

I’m not the first to note that entertainment studios’ terror of gambling and losing on original stories has made it so that nearly every project that makes it in front of our eyes — including literally all 10 of last year’s biggest movies — belongs to a franchise. We all know the big ones, but this goes beyond the MCU, the Dceu, Star Wars, Star Trek and the Disney princesses: We’re now living in a world where The Big Bang Theory is about to launch its third spin-off. Even shows on AppleTV+ — a platform that, famously, no one watches, and that we just learned is losing its parent company more than $1 billion a year — are becoming franchises: as Mythic Quest spins off the anthology show Side Quest, I think we can officially say franchise fever has gone too far.

Since it’s extremely likely that this is the first time you’re hearing about it,...

It feels like a lost art in 2025, but the spinoff of a comedy series remains a popular proposition for TV creatives. However, if your show is not directly tied to surprisingly big IPs, like Big Bang Theory or 9-1-1, TV executives seem less likely to buy the pitch. Side Quest comes from the writers of Mythic Quest, specifically Ashly Burch, John Howell Harris, and Katie McElhenney.

With Rob McElhenney returning briefly, the show hopes to expand the world created by Mythic Quest, instead focusing on the people at the edges of the series. In some moments, Side Quest recreates the brilliance the show has been known for with its tangent episodes. However, one cannot help but wonder if these episodes would have been stronger in the context of the existing show.

Side Quest – The Plots

Embracing an anthology style, Side Quest tells four stories in the world of Mythic Quest.

The spinoff follows fans, players, and industry misfits pulled into the world of ‘Mythic Quest.’

When a workplace comedy is set inside a video game studio, things are bound to get weird—and that’s exactly what made “Mythic Quest” such a standout hit. The Apple TV+ series carved out its own lane by mixing absurd office politics with the chaotic world of game development. Now, the creators are leveling up. “Side Quest” is a new anthology spin-off that zooms out from the dev team to spotlight the players, superfans, and industry misfits touched by the game’s massive reach. All four episodes drop on Wednesday, March 26, only on Apple TV+.

In all its ups and downs, Mythic Quest always stays true to its core conceit: a workplace comedy about a video game company, and all the interpersonal baggage that accompanies the creatives tasked with building said games. Side Quest, which Apple TV+ announced as its new spinoff, features a similar, if not identical premise, this time focusing on the plights of the lower-level and developmental employees.

Both the Mythic Quest season 4 finale and the Side Quest premiere will be streaming on Wednesday, March 26, 2025. The new series serves as an expansion of the established universe, per a press release. It will focus on the lives of employees, players and fans who are impacted by the game in an anthology format. All four episodes will be released that day for a binge-watch!

The relationship between Rob McElhenney’s many comedy shows is more incestuous than whatever Barbara thought Dennis and Dee were doing back in Season Two.

As McElhenney’s second beloved comedy series Mythic Quest approaches the end of its fourth season, AppleTV+ has announced that it has given the show a greater commitment than Ian Grimm can give to his own son. Last week, AppleTV+ released the trailer for Side Quest, a four-part anthology miniseries that the streamer is marketing as an “expansion” to the Mythic Quest universe. The workplace comedy about a World of Warcraft-style multiplayer video game will use Side Quest to explore “the lives of employees, players and fans who are impacted by the game in an anthology format,” according to the streamer, with special attention paid to the Mythic Quest family in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, apparently.

Immediately after the trailer for Side Quest dropped, fans of...

Apple TV+ has released a new trailer and preview images for Side Quest, the new Mythic Quest expansion series. It will make its debut on the streamer later this month.

All four episodes of Side Quest will debut alongside the season four finale of Mythic Quest on Wednesday, March 26 on Apple TV+. Side Quest will explore the lives of employees, players and fans who are impacted by the game in an anthology format.

If you’ve been on the internet for any length of time since about 2013, you’ve run into the “Florida Man” meme, premised on the idea that, at any given moment, a Florida man is wilding out in a way that’s possibly criminal and definitely irrational. If a man is almost dying getting a lap dance from his housekeeper, snorting coke to hide evidence after fleeing a traffic stop or jogging shirtless in defiance of Hurricane Milton’s imminent landfall, he’s a Florida man. He’s been immortalized in a website, an Instagram feed, a subreddit and quasi-Olympic “Games” where competitors wrestle in muddy water and tussle while holding pitchers of beer. He used to be the subject of a Twitter feed collecting kooky stories, but its curator, Freddie Campion, retired it in 2019. As he told Logan Hill for a piece in the Washington Post that year, Campion shut it down after wondering,...

Hope Runs High has acquired U.S. rights to Augusto Sandino’s sophomore feature “A Vanishing Fog,” which won the SXSW Zeiss cinematography prize. The film is slated for an early 2024 opening in U.S. theaters. It’s the first feature to be shot in Colombia’s Sumapaz Páramo, the largest ecosystem of its kind in the world.

“In the middle of the staggering and endangered Sumapaz Paramo ecosystem; F, a solitary explorer, strives to protect the mystical and fragile land he inhabits, while caring for his ailing father,” the synopsis reads.

“Augusto Sandino’s incredible blend of playful surrealism and the overwhelming individuality of the environment in which the film is set has stayed with me since my first viewing. I believe his ability to balance visual scale, cinematic playfulness, and true heart make him an artist we should be engaging with frequently,” said Hope Runs High curator Taylor Purdee.

Bass Reeves has one hell of a story. Born into slavery in Arkansas, he was forced by his owner to fight on the Confederate side of the Civil War.

Ben Folds is just a love machine, but on his new single “Exhausting Lover,” he’s not too happy about it. Listen to the tongue-in-cheek new song below.

“Exhausting Lover” begins as something like a synth pop song before Folds’ spoken-word delivery — about a girl who just can’t stop having sex with him — gives way to a theatrical horn section. The artist paired his melodramatic new song with an equally facetious music video directed by Drunk History’s Derek Waters, in which Folds directs a musical all about the lover in question.

“This was my first foray into musical theater, and Derek’s, too. We both vow to actually go see a musical now,” Folds said in a statement. Waters added: “I always have and always will love Ben Folds.

In May, Mythic Quest returned for its second season, building momentum as an awards contender. The Apple TV+ comedy, created by Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Megan Ganz, centers on Ian Grimm (McElhenney), the owner and creative director of a successful video game studio, who struggles to keep his hit game of the same name on top in concert with the dysfunctional family that makes up his staff.

In the Season 2 opener “Titans’ Rift,” lead engineer Poppy Li (Charlotte Nicdao) must step to the plate and come up with a title for a new expansion of the game, with Ian on sabbatical. At the same time, game testers Dana (Imani Hakim) and Rachel (Ashly Burch) take their burgeoning relationship to new heights.

“It sounds a little dramatic, but it’s like a funeral without any music,” he told Variety‘s Awards HQ. “I would love to finish what I started. It would just be nice to end on your own terms, to say goodbye and not just be like, ‘that’s it.'”

Waters, who created the show with fellow executive producer Jeremy Konner, said he still hasn’t been given an “actual answer why it happened … no one’s called me. I have no idea. I have no verification of it.

What's This TV Show About?

A Comedy Central TV series from creators Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner, each episode of Drunk History features a narrator and guest stars reenacting historical events as recounted by terribly tipsy tellers of tales. From the Alamo to Watergate and beyond, no subject is off-limits. Waters hosts the program, and frequent players include Bennie Arthur, Derek Waters, Craig Cackowski, Maria Biasucci, Mort Burke, Michael Coleman, Aasha Davis, and J.T.

Comedy Central has canceled “Drunk History” amid a production hiatus for its previously ordered seventh season. Series creator Derek Waters isn’t going anywhere though: Waters has a first-look deal with the ViacomCBS-owned cable channel.

The cancellation of the remainder of Season 7 will make room for more adult animation on Comedy Central, a person with knowledge of the decision told TheWrap.

Comedy Central is rebooting “Beavis and Butthead” and “The Ren & Stimpy Show.”

Since no Season 7 episodes fully completed production before the cancellation, “Drunk History” will de facto end with the previously aired Season 6.

Waters and Comedy Central are currently pushing that sixth season of “Drunk History” for the 2020 Emmys.

It's the end of the line for a popular Comedy Central series. 

Drunk History has been canceled after six seasons, according to Deadline. 

The decision is somewhat surprising because the cabler picked up a 16-episode seventh season last summer.

Early production was said to be underway earlier this year when the Covid-19 pandemic hit, but the series was set to return to production. 

Unfortunately, Comedy Central has decided against giving the series time to finish its seventh season, and it's game over. 

Drunk History featured comedians getting, you guessed it, drunk and telling co-creator Derek Waters what they could recall about various moments in history.

These moments were then recreated by household names in elaborate period costumes while the narration played out in the background.

Season 6 of Drunk History wrapped in August 2019 with an episode that featued Aubrey Plaza as Cleopatra.

The 'Emmy' award winning Comedy Central series "Drunk History" created by Derek Waters and Jeremy Konner, has been canceled, following the airing of the Season 6 episode, "Bad Blood"::

"...based on the popular web series, 'Drunk History' is the liquored-up narration of our nation's history. Host Derek Waters, along with an ever-changing cast of actors and comedians, travels across the country to present the rich tales that every city in this land has to offer. Booze helps bring out the truth. It's just that sometimes the truth is a little incoherent..."

Comedy Central is calling Drunk History a cab.

Per our sister site Deadline, series co-creator Derek Waters announced Wednesday that the series would not return to the cable network, despite the show’s renewal for a 16-episode Season 7 last summer.

“Drunk History’s” sixth and most recent season will be the Comedy Central show’s last, Variety has confirmed.

The show had been renewed for a seventh season last year and was in pre-production on that season when the Covid-19 pandemic forced production to stop in March. Later on, Comedy Central decided to pull the plug on the show as the network moves away from live-actions scripted shows in favor of adult animation.

Series creators Derek Waters signed a first-look deal with Comedy Central at the time of the Season 7 renewal and will continue to develop projects at the network.

“Drunk History” has earned 17 Emmy nominations over the course of its run, winning one thus far. It is currently up for three Emmys this year, including one for best variety sketch series.

The show features a changing cast of actors and comedians who re-create historical events. It began as a...

The Emmy Awards ballot for Best Variety Series Directing lists 31 episodes, so there will be only five nominees in this category for the first time in three years, under the new Emmy rules. Under the proportional-representation rules for this category, two slots are reserved for the 16 submitted episodes of sketch series, two are reserved for the 15 submitted talk series and the last slot is a free-for-all. The six nominees last year were:

“Documentary Now!” (Alex Buono & Rhys Thomas): “Waiting for the Artist” “Drunk History” (Derek Waters): “Are You Afraid of the Drunk?” “Last Week Tonight” (Paul Pennolino): “Psychics” “The Late Show” (Jim Hoskinson): “Live Midterm Election Show” Winner — “Saturday Night Live” (Don Roy King): “Host: Adam Sandler” “Who is America?” (Sacha Baron Cohen & Nathan Fielder & Daniel Gray Longino & Dan Mazer): “Episode 102”

There is a new rule this year that only two co-directors can be credited per submission.

Derek Waters hosts Drunk History that typically tells three historical stories during each episode. Each story has a different narrator who discusses a historical event or figure while intoxicated and the host joins them as actors re-enact the narration. The episodes are typically hilarious due to the storytelling set up and seamless lip-syncing re-enactments.
