Schmigadoon! Canceled by Apple TV+ After Two Seasons
Schmigadoon!‘s musical journey has ended.
The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the comedy series has been canceled by Apple TV+ after two seasons. “The show was an expensive effort for Apple, which paid Universal TV a licensing fee to air the star-studded fantasy comedy/musical,” THR reports.
Co-creator Cinco Paul broke the news through a statement on X (formerly Twitter), revealing that Schmigadoon! Season 3’s scripts were written and included 25 new songs.
“I am sad to share that Apple will not be moving forward with season 3 of Schmigadoon! The season is written (including 25 new songs), but we unfortunately won’t be making it. Such is life,” Paul wrote.
“I want to thank everyone involved with the show, our incredible cast & crew & writers, our wonderful supporters at Broadway Video, Universal, & Apple, for everything they did to make it happen. It’s a miracle we even got two seasons, honestly, and I’m so grateful we did,” Paul added.
Schmigadoon! Season 2 starred returning cast members Cecily Strong, Keegan-Michael Key, Ariana DeBose, Martin Short, Dove Cameron, Jaime Camil, Kristin Chenoweth, Alan Cumming, Ann Harada, Jane Krakowski and Aaron Tveit, with Tituss Burgess and Patrick Page joining the ensemble.
“And to all the fans of the show out there—thank you with all my heart. Your love and support has meant so much, and the fact that you connected with our show, that it brought you some joy, means the world to me,” Paul continued.
The musical comedy series premiered with Schmigadoon! Season 1 Episodes 1 and 2, “Schmigadoon! / Lover’s Spat,” in July 2021. The show’s now series finale, Schmigadoon! Season 2 Episode 6, “Over and Done,” streamed on Apple TV+ in May 2023.
“This was tough news to get, but the optimist in me is convinced it’s not the end of Schmigadoon…and maybe it’s even a happy beginning,” Paul concluded.
Cinco Paul co-created the series with Ken Daurio. Paul served as its showrunner and wrote all of the original songs for the series.
Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group and Broadway Video, produced Schmigadoon! Lorne Michaels executive produces, Andrew Singer executive produces on behalf of Broadway Vide, and Micah Frank co-executive produces.
