Apple canceled ‘Mythic Quest.’ Then it did something unheard of in the world of streaming TV

Apple canceled its Apple TV+ show, Mythic Quest, after its fourth season, leaving fans with a cliffhanger. Unlike other streaming services known for abruptly ending shows, Apple allowed the creators to re-edit the season finale to provide closure. Many streaming services, including Netflix, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime, frequently cancel shows with unresolved storylines. This practice is more prevalent with streamers than with traditional networks. The re-edit of Mythic Quest's finale is unusual in the streaming industry, where such concessions are rare. The creators used existing footage to achieve a satisfying conclusion without reshooting. It's unlikely other streamers will follow Apple's example due to cost and logistical constraints. The decision by Apple to allow the re-edit remains unexplained. The re-edited episode will be released soon, providing closure for viewers. The future handling of the original and re-edited versions on Apple TV+ is uncertain.
