Critically acclaimed hit comedy series “The Big Door Prize” is all set to level up when it returns to Apple TV+ for a second season on Wednesday, April 24, 2024 with three episodes, followed by one new episode every Wednesday through June 12, 2024.
From renowned writer David West Read, best known for creating the award-winning show “Schitt’s Creek” and based on M.O. Walsh’s novel, season two takes us back to Deerfield as the Morpho machine readies the town for the enigmatic “next stage.” As everyone’s potentials are exchanged for visions, new relationships form and new questions are asked.
Dusty (Chris O’Dowd) and Cass (Gabrielle Dennis) decide to take time apart while Trina (Djouliet Amara) and Jacob (Sammy Fourlas) learn that they can shed their old labels. Giorgio (Josh Segarra) and Izzy (Crystal Fox) each find romance while Hana (Ally Maki) and Father Reuben (Damon Gupton) attempt to discover the purpose of the machine. Once again, Deerfield’s community are left wondering what they really know about themselves, their relationships, their potential and the Morpho itself.
In anticipation of the series returning next week, CinemaChords’ Howard Gorman sat down with West Read along with cast members O’Dowd, Segarra, Denis and Maki. They discussed how they all approached the “next stage” of the magical and mysterious journey, expressing confidence that fans will continue to connect with the quirky humour, offbeat characters and poignant narrative arcs that became the hallmark of the first season.
