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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houseplant-directors-chair) will look like, [Apple TV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-bandits) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooperative-stream-viewing) and edited in quarantine over the course of just three weeks.
