‘Side Quest’ season 1 premiere: Where to stream on-demand
The brand new comedy series Side Quest joins the Apple TV+ Originals collection Wednesday, March 26. The entirety of season one, comprised of four half-hour episodes, is now available for streaming.
Side Quest is the first spinoff series of the hit Apple TV+ Original series Mythic Quest. While Mythic Quest follows the creation of the biggest multiplayer video game of all time and the creators themselves, Side Quest is a chance for viewers to go into the game itself.
According to Apple TV+’s description, Side Quest allows viewers to go deeper into the Mythic Quest universe in these four standalone stories. Those who tune in can follow the lives of players, comic book shop owners, touring orchestra musicians, and members of the art department as they search for community, success and love. Rob McElhenney, Anna Konkle, and Derek Waters star.
