Apple TV+ comedy Mythic Quest launched its special quarantine episode today that was shot using 40 iPhones. Beyond bringing some laughs with the hilarious new bonus episode grounded in our current COVID-19 reality it has also raised over half a million dollars for coronavirus relief.
We got a behind the scenes look at how Rob McElhenney and the Mythic Quest cast and crew made its quarantine episode possible earlier this week.
Now Variety had a chance to chat with the creator and star to learn more about the episode which also revealed that the cast and crew have raised $300,00 with McElhenney and his wife matching that donation for a $600,000 total which was given to Mercy Corps’ COVID-19 relief fund.
McElhenney also talked about the idea of making a quarantine episode for his hit show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Check out the full interview for an interesting read over at Variety. And you can watch the special Mythic Quest episode Quarantine now on Apple TV+.
“I don’t know that it would be socially responsible to make right now. Maybe in about six months from now or a year, hopefully we’re going to see what the ‘Sunny’ characters were doing in quarantine, but I have a feeling it’s not what the ‘Mythic Quest’ characters were doing,” he continues.
