Season 2 debuts April 5 on Apple TV+
Apple's musical spoof returns for a second season that leaves its titular setting behind for the big city of, well, Schmicago. The new season will lovingly lampoon classic musicals from the 1960s and '70s (the prior season concentrated on musicals from a few decades earlier) and adds Tituss Burgess and Patrick Page to a returning cast that includes Keegan-Michael Key, Cecily Strong, Ariana DeBose, Kristin Chenoweth, Alan Cumming, Jane Krakowski, and Martin Short (among others), though most of them will be playing new characters. Also returning is showrunner Cinco Paul, who again contributes original songs to the six new episodes (the first two of which stream on day one).
