Do not read if you have not yet watched “Mythic Quest: Quarantine,” streaming now on Apple TV Plus.decided he wanted to do a virtual episode of one of his television series during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no question that it would be his new Apple TV Plus comedy “Mythic Quest” and not his long-running FXX sitcom “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”
While McElhenney’s Ian seems to be living his best life, alone in his compound, relaxing in his hot tub, working out in an at-home gym and preparing guided meditation in a lush garden, Poppy is throwing herself into her work to keep herself from spinning out into a depression spiral. In truth, McElhenney notes, they are both struggling, just in their own ways.
“There’s this odd uncanny valley phenomenon that happens where we’re not in the room with people and there is the interface in between us and it doesn’t feel as intimate as being with another human being. We had to lean into that aspect that there is this artifice that’s holding us back from real emotional output,” McElhenney says of characters’ communication for much of the episode. “When he goes to Poppy, it’s as much for her as it is for him. There were some selfish motivations.
Taking care of loved ones and extended family is what started the idea for this episode overall, McElhenney shares: “We have 150 crew members who, just like so much of the rest of the nation, are sitting around and really wanting to get back to work, and if we can help people earn a paycheck for three weeks, we wanted to figure out how to do that.”
Because he wanted to turn it around while everyone was still in quarantine, and he wasn’t sure how long that would be, the “Mythic Quest” team turned around the episode from conception to delivery within three weeks, with the actual production week the hottest week Los Angeles has had in a while — which posed an additional challenge no one expected.
