Editors - Josh Drisko, Steve Welch ACE, Trevor Penna From the creative team behind It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia comes the AppleTV+ original series, Mythic Quest!  Created in part by and starring Rob McElhenney, the series is about a video game studio that produces a popular online role playing game. Even though it's a "workplace comedy", the MQ team knows how to surprise an audience every now and then with a dramatic turn.  Both seasons one and two featured episodes that were not really part of the show's primary story line nor did they really feature the main characters.  In S1 this was an episode called A Dark Quiet Death and in S2 it was an episode called Backstory.  Both episodes were standouts in their respective seasons and drew praise from the critics.  On top of that, between season one and two Mythic Quest had two special episodes; one of which was not only created during quarantine, it was about the quarantine. JOSH DRISKO Josh Drisko has an amazing 92 episodes (and counting) of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia under his belt; including the legendary pilot episode of "Sunny" that he cut on a laptop back in 2005.  Josh has also worked on the series The Mick, The Grinder and Maron. STEVE WELCH ACE Steve Welch ACE has had a prolific career in comedy editing with such shows as Malcolm in the Middle, New Girl, Mr. Show with Bob and David and Arrested Development. TREVOR PENNA While Mythic Quest is the first series where Trevor has been lead editor on multiple episodes, he's been assisting editor Tim Roche on some pretty big shows, including Curb Your Enthusiasm and WandaVision.
