Chris O'Dowd Set to Star in Comedy Series THE BIG DOOR PRIZE at Apple From Producer of SCHITT'S CREEK

Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids, Get Shorty, The Starling) has signed on to star in the Apple TV+ series The Big Door Prize. The 10-episode comedy series is based on the M.O. Walsh novel of the same name, and it’s being adapted for the screen by Schitt’s Creek executive producer David West Read. He will executive produce and serve as showrunner on the series as well.

The Big Door Prize “tells the story of a small town that is forever changed when a mysterious machine appears in the grocery store, promising to reveal each resident’s true life potential.” O’Dowd will star as Dusty, a good-natured teacher and family man whose deeply average life has followed a safe and predictable path, until the appearance of the mystifying machine forces him to question his own happiness.

I love Chris O’Dowd, so I’m excited to check out this series. We will keep you posted when we hear more about The Big Door Prize. Does this sound like a series you’ll be interested in?
