Apple cancels Chris O’Dowd’s popular comedy after two seasons

The heartwarming series focuses on the residents of the small town of Deerfield, who quickly fall in love with a machine called Morpho, which promises to reveal the true potential of every person.

The series’ main character is actor and comedian Chris O’Dowd, who plays the skeptical high school teacher Dusty Hubbard, who doesn’t quite understand why everyone is fascinated by the machine.

Faced with the prospect of true happiness, we follow Dusty as he navigates a city full of people making important life decisions based on a note from the vending machine.

However, his criticism is directed at his optimistic wife and high school sweetheart Cass (Gabrielle Dennis). The first season was so well received that it was quickly picked up for another season, but now the end of the line seems to have come.

The show is very popular with its fans (including the person who wrote this article and the person editing this article), and the wacky antics in Deerfield often touch our hearts.

The most annoying thing for fans of the series is that Season 2 ended on quite a cliffhanger, making it seem like there will be no answers or resolution.

As is often the case with canceled shows, fans are left wondering what ultimately could have happened rather than getting any real closure.

While the cast has not yet made any official statements on the news of the show’s cancellation, Chris O’Dowd jokingly Post on X in response to a fan that he would “eat a bag of oranges today in protest.”

The comedy is based on the novel of the same name by MO Walsh and was brought to life by producer, writer and showrunner David West Read.

Read is known for his work as a writer and executive producer of Schitt’s Creek and previously spoke to RadioTimes.com about his hopes for the Big Door Prize and how it might compare to his award-winning work on Schitt’s Creek.

He said, “I like the idea of ​​a geographically ambiguous small town, whether it’s Schitt’s Creek or Deerfield, because you really focus on the people and what’s going on in that very specific place, as opposed to what’s happening in the country or the world as a whole.”

“It becomes this microcosm, and I think a lot of the success of Schitt’s Creek was because they were characters you wanted to spend time with in a place you wanted to be. And I’m trying to create something similar with the cast and setting of The Big Door Prize.”

Seasons 1 and 2 of “The Big Door Prize” are available to stream on Apple TV+.
