Thought-provoking and funny, The Big Door Prize was a hit with the critics when it debuted last year. Its freshman season found Deerfield’s citizens initiating major life changes based on the dictates of the mysterious blue machine. After decades together, Dusty (O’Dowd) and Cass (Dennis) decided to take some time apart to explore their individual potential, while Georgia (Segarra) embarked on a whirlwind romance with Nat (Mary Holland).
And viewers can expect even more profound transformations now. Not only did we see characters like Mr Johnson develop neon blue growths on their bodies, but the Morpho has begun displaying an ominous message on its screen: “Are you ready for the next stage?” It’s a turn of events that Hana (Ally Maki), who has a secret history of the machine, has never witnessed before.
Exploring concepts of free will vs. destiny and compellingly charting our characters’ fraught attempts to become their “best selves,” season 2 promises to up the emotional ante. Ready for the next stage? Then follow our guide below for how to watch The Big Door Prize season 2 online and free to new subscribers on Apple TV Plus.
