THE BIG DOOR PRIZE – SEASON 2 NOW STREAMING

Get ready to return to Deerfield as its citizens continue to grapple with their mysterious destiny-predicting machine in THE BIG DOOR PRIZE S2.

In its first season, THE BIG DOOR PRIZE – from Emmy Award-winning creator David West Read – introduced us to Dusty (Chris O’Dowd), Cass (Gabrielle Dennis), and more as they grappled with the discovery of a machine in their local grocery store that is seemingly able to predict the “life potential” of those who consult it.

In season two, the small town is once again left questioning what they thought they knew about their lives, relationships, potentials and about the machine – Morpho – itself.

Colin Wilkes designed the costumes for the series, hailed as “thought-provoking,” “hilarious” and “one of the best comedy debuts in years.” The show is based on the novel by M. O. Walsh, and produced by Skydance Television and Studio Dragon for Apple Studios.

Season 2 premieres April 24th, 2024, with new episodes Wednesdays on Apple TV+.
