Producers of the Apple TV+ comedy “Mythic Quest” were forced to let F. Murray Abraham go after sexual misconduct claims, which explains his character’s absence in season 3.
“Mythic Quest” is a comedy series from co-creators Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Megan Ganz. The series follows a diverse cast of employees dealing with working in a popular video game company.
“We take allegations of misconduct seriously and investigate them thoroughly,” Lionsgate Television shared in a statement. “As a matter of corporate policy, we do not discuss our personnel actions.”
Mild spoilers for the series follow: His character, a fan favorite named C.W. Longbottom, was killed off in the first episode of season three. Season two featured an extended look at the character’s backstory in a critically acclaimed episode, so viewers were surprised by the sudden and unexplained character exit.
“It’s a bummer to not have Murray in this season,” McElhenney said in a previous interview. “But we recognize that C.W. is a beloved character and obviously a huge part of the show. So, we made sure that we have a really fitting tribute to him.”
