The new show called Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet debuted on Friday, February 7th and has provided the new streaming services’ platform with a fusion of classic McElhenney humor which his fans have come to love and an office space environment. The series surrounds the gaming industry during the creation process of their new blockbuster video game as McElhenney acts as the game’s director. The show displays a cast of familiar recurring actors, such as David Hornsby, in past collaborations of McElHenney and Day. Another familiar face in this new series includes Ashly Burch, a frequent voice actor in various video games such as Horizon: Zero Dawn, as well as Life is Strange
