26 APRIL 2022 - A bummer of a story for fans for the Apple TV+ series “Mythic Quest” - C.W. Longbottom seems to have said goodbye. 9 to 5 Mac ran a piece last week saying that F. Murray Abraham will not be back for the show’s third-season. The reason why is a mystery. It’s possible the character was written off. Without revealing any spoilers, in-universe changes at the end of season-two could explain C.W.’s exit. In the real world, filming for season-two took special care, given Abraham’s 80+ years of age and the ongoing COVID pandemic. Or it could just be money. People who know are not saying. The piece says a spokesperson for Lionsgate, the studio that produces the show, told Vanity Fair:

F. Murray Abraham will not be returning to season three of Mythic Quest. Beyond that, we do not comment on matters concerning personnel.

I may be hoping against hope, but the show’s been picked up through season four. Lionsgate only mentions the third season. He’s probably gone for good, but one can hope.
