Apple TV+ The Big Door Prize Returns April 24; ABC Renews Will Trent for Season 3

Apple TV+ unveiled the trailer for the second season of The Big Door Prize, the critically acclaimed and character-driven comedy from Emmy Award-winning creator David West Read (Schitt's Creek). The 10-episode second season will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on Wednesday, April 24, 2024 with three episodes, followed by one new episode every Wednesday through June 12, 2024. Based on M.O. Walsh's novel, The Big Door Prize season two follows the residents of Deerfield as the Morpho machine readies them for the mysterious "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. The small town is once again left questioning what they thought they knew about their lives, relationships, potentials and about the Morpho itself.

The Big Door Prize features an ensemble cast led by Emmy Award winner O'Dowd, Dennis, Maki, Gupton, Segarra, Crystal Fox, Fourlas, Amara, and is produced by Skydance Television and CJ ENM/Studio Dragon. 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.
