All industries have been shaken by the global pandemic, including the entertainment industry and although it's not yet clear what post-pandemic movie sets in Hollywood will look like, Apple TV Plus’s Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet created a quarantine episode that adapted to the changing times. Mythic Quest kicked off in February and fans of the show say that the quarantine episode is a seamless continuation of the show that captures what it's like to live through these uncertain times.
Like tuning into a video call on Zoom, parts of the episode are set up so that viewers can see the screens of multiple characters at once, and get an in-depth look at how each one is coping with quarantine in their own unique ways.
Notably, the special episode was written, filmed on iPhones and edited in quarantine over the course of just three weeks.
