Meanwhile, C.W. (F. Murray Abraham) reconciles some unresolved issues from his past, the testers (Burch and Imani Hakim) begin an office romance and David (David Hornsby) loses yet another woman in his life as Jo (Jessie Ennis) leaves him to assist Brad (Danny Pudi).
Matt Cherniss, Apple TV+'s head of programming, says that audiences will enjoy watching these quirky characters return to the office.
"Rob and the entire Mythic Quest team have created a beloved cast of characters that have struck a chord with audiences around the world ... After hitting it out of the park with their extraordinary 'Quarantine' special episode, we couldn't wait for viewers to experience their unique take on another topical and universally relatable moment — returning to the office — ahead of the season two launch on May 7."
