Apple TV's The Big Door Prize gets early renewal for second season

The Big Door Prize only premiered last week, but Apple TV+ has already renewed the comedy series for a second season.

The series, based on the novel of the same name by M.O. Walsh, tells the story of a small town that changes forever when a mysterious machine appears in the shop, promising to reveal the true life potential of each resident.

Chris O'Dowd, Gabrielle Dennis, Ally Maki, Josh Segarra, Damon Gupton, Crystal Fox, Djouliet Amara and Sammy Fourlas star.



Dusty Hubbard (O'Dowd), a seemingly content, fun-loving family man and high school teacher, watches everyone around him rethink his life choices and aspirations based on the machine's printouts, and is forced to wonder if he really as happy as he ever thought. While he remains skeptical about the machine, his wife Cass (Dennis) surrenders to the dream that there is something bigger for her. Like many Deerfield residents, the couple lived a relatively safe, uncomplicated life until the arrival of the Morpho Machine. However, all that is about to change when the community is forced to reconcile with their unfulfilled achievements in the pursuit of a better future.

The Big Door Prize rose to Rotten Tomatoes Certified Fresh status after its worldwide premiere and received critical acclaim on Apple TV+, being hailed as "thought-provoking", "hilarious", and "one of the best comedy debuts in years".

Every Wednesday there is a new episode of The Big Door Prize. The second season of The Big Door Prize is produced by Skydance Television and is now in production.

“We are so grateful to the audiences around the world who have already embraced the weird little hopes and dreams of our Deerfield residents, and we could not be more excited about where we plan to take them in season two.”
