F. Murray Abraham leaving Apple TV+’s ‘Mythic Quest’

F. Murray Abraham won’t be resuming his role in the Apple TV+ series “Mythic Quest,” according to Vanity Fair.

A spokesperson for Lionsgate, the studio that produces the show, confirmed in a statement, “F. Murray Abraham will not be returning to season three of Mythic Quest. Beyond that, we do not comment on matters concerning personnel.”
