Lionsgate has confirmed that F. Murray Abraham will not be resuming his role as C.W. Longbottom in the Apple TV+ series “Mythic Quest.”
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.”
The 82-year-old actor, who won an Academy Award for his 1984 performance as Antonio Salieri in Amadeus, was a key member of the Mythic Quest ensemble. He plays the character of C.W. Longbottom, a Nebula Award–winning writer who creates narratives for the video game company at the center of the comedy series. Longbottom is hard-drinking, egotistical, and old-school—“a walking cry for sensitivity training,” as The Ringer put it.
Abraham told V.F. last year that his role on Mythic Quest was a “special gift”: “I’ve done a whole lot of work and there are certain things I look for. One of [them] is community. To find that kind of connection and humanity is so hard because it’s so segmented.”
MacDailyNews Take: Hopefully, Abraham’s abrupt departure is not for health reasons.

he often stole the show. will miss him dearly but I wondered when most of his scenes were over zoom. the character was perfect but he brought life to it.
Love his voice role in the current “Moon Knight” series as Khonshu. 🙂
He is fabulous. No doubt he would consider all the leftist MDN readers as worms.
