Exclusive: Schmigadoon! Announces a Second Season and Is Headed to Schmicago

#Schmigadoon #Announces #Season #Headed #Schmicago
Schmigadoon! is far from schmigadone.
Apple TV+ announced on Friday that the surrealist musical-comedy from Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio is coming back for another season of upbeat, lively showmanship and stuck-in-your-head tunes. What’s more, Tituss Burgess and Broadway stage vet Patrick Page will join the cast led by Keegan Michael-Key and Cecily Strong as two modern city slickers trapped in a land of corny musical numbers. (Some of that corniness being literal.)

Whereas the first season parodied classic musicals like Carousel, Oklahoma, The Music Man, and, yes, Brigadoon, it appears, as per Deadline’s report, that the new season will bring us to “Schmicago,” a world drawn from musicals of the 1960s and 1970s. (Will we see Cecily Strong doing some sort of variant of the “Cell Block Tango“? We can only hope so.)
The whole gang from the first season is back on board, including recent Oscar-winner Ariana DeBose, Dove Cameron, Jaime Camil, Kristen Chenoweth, Alan Cumming, Ann Harada, Jane Krakowski, and Aaron Tveit. Plus Martin Short as the Leprechaun.
Paul will once again function as showrunner, and is composing all the original songs. Robert Luketic (Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!, Legally Blonde) is directing. The first season saw all six episodes directed by Addams Family and Men in Black auteur Barry Sonnenfeld, who, as of this announcement, is not attached. (In an interview last year, Sonnenfeld joked about the psychological torment he suffered during the shoot: “I am up at 4 a.m., getting picked up in two hours, and I can’t sleep because I’m singing ‘Corn Puddin’’ nonstop.”)
