The Big Door Prize premieres on Apple TV+

Apple today premieres a new comedy drama series starring Chris O’Dowd, The Big Door Prize, based on the book of the same name. The first three episodes are streaming now on Apple TV+.

The series explores how the population of a town reacts when a mysterious ‘Morpho’ machine appears in the local store. The machine analyzes a person’s DNA and promises to tell them their true life’s potential. The machine spits out a card to every person who approaches it, hinting at their future. But how people interpret and react to these guides causes a butterfly effect of divergent consequences.

‘IT Crowd’ actor Chris O’Dowd headlines the cast of the series, which is written by Emmy-winning writer David West Read. The book the series is based on was a 2020 bestseller.

Critical reviews of the show have been largely positive and the show has already been (unofficially) renewed for a second season by Apple. In fact, production on season two has already begun.
