Apple finally unveiled the official trailer for its first major comedy series Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet and so far it appears the wait has been worth.

Co-created by It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia stars Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day, Mythic Quest follows a team of video game developers hellbent on creating an epic sequel to the biggest multiplayer video game ever made. Mythic Quest‘s cast is packed with hilarious actors playing nerds with big egos that could turn it into the perfect successor to Silicon Valley which just aired its last episode.

After launching Apple TV+ with a handful of prestige dramas followed by a couple of suspenseful drama, Mythic Quest will hopefully bring some fresh comedic air to Apple’s platform.

McElhenney dished a bit about Mythic Quest during an appearance at E3 last summer. The creators of the show partnered with Ubisoft to get an inside look at how the video game development world works. McElhenney, who is a big gamer, plays the creative director of the game as he readies to launch the first expansion.

Set to launch on Apple TV+ on February 7, Mythic Quest also stars F. Murray Abraham, Danny Pudi, Imani Hakim, Charlotte Nicadao, David Hornsby, Ashly Burch, and Jessie Ennis. Apple has already renewed the show for a second season.
