‘Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet’ Trailer: Rob McElhenney Enters The World Of Fantasy Epic Video Games
If the line-up of programming available on Apple TV+ hasn’t been doing much for you yet, maybe the addition of a new comedy series fromIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphiastars and executive producersRob McElhenneyandCharlie Daywill do something for you.
Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquetfinds Rob McElhenny playing both the star and creator of an epic fantasy video game as he tries to hoard all the credit and glory, frustrating the team around him that’s just trying to bring his wild vision to life. The result is some amusing workplace clashing in the fast-paced world of video gaming. Watch theMythic Quest: Raven’s Banquettrailer below.

Apple TV+ seems to be aiming to have aSilicon Valleyof its own, but set in the video game industry. However, this trailer feels rather clunky and doesn’t pack much of a comedic punch. There are some mild chuckles to be had, and Rob McElhenney seems fine in the lead, but I can’t help but think his character just feels like a declawed version of Mac fromIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Here’s hoping that the series itself actually delivers some better laughs than what’s on display in this trailer.
The good news is that beyond Rob McElhenney there is a solid assembly of talent in the supporting cast. We’ve gotF. Murray Abrahamas C.W. Longbottom,Danny Pudias Brad,Imani Hakimas Dana,Charlotte Nicdaoas Poppy,David Hornsbyas David,Ashly Burchas Rachel andJessie Ennisas Jo. Plus, the trailer also has comedianAparna Nancherlamaking an appearance there at the end, but we’re not sure how big her role in the series will be.
In addition to being executive produced by Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day through their own RCG production banner, the show is also executive produced and co-created byMegan Ganz, who has written and executive produced forIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Modern Family, Community, andThe Last Man on Earth.
Meet the team behind the biggest multiplayer video game of all time. But in a workplace focused on building worlds, molding heroes, and creating legends, the most hard-fought battles don’t occur in the game—they happen in the office.
Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquetstarts streaming exclusively on Apple TV+ onFebruary 7, 2020.
