Apple TV+ has today revealed an exciting glimpse into the upcoming second season of their hit comedy series “The Big Door Prize.” This critically acclaimed and character-driven show comes from renowned writer David West Read, best known for creating the award-winning show “Schitt’s Creek.” The just-released trailer teases more of the offbeat humor and emotional storylines that made the first season such a critical success.
Based on M.O. Walsh’s novel, the second season of “The Big Door Prize” follows the residents of Deerfield as the Morpho machine prepares them 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.
Season two welcomes new and returning guest stars including Justine Lupe, Aaron Roman Weiner, Mary Holland, Patrick Kerr, Cocoa Brown, Carrie Barrett, Elizabeth Hunter, Jim Meskimen, Matt Dellapina and Melissa Ponzio.
