Apple TV+ have unveiled the brand new musical comedy series Schmigadoon! which will be premiering later this year.
The series will star Emmy Award nominee Cecily Strong and Emmy Award winner Keegan-Michael Key alongside Kristen Chenoweth, Aaron Tveit and Jane Krakowski.
Schmigadoon! is a parody of iconic Golden Age musicals and will follow Strong and Key as a couple on a backpacking trip designed to reinvigorate their relationship. In an unexpected plot twist, the pair discover a magical town living in a 1940s musical, and are unable to leave until they find “true love.”
Alongside the main cast, Martin Short, Alan Cumming and Dove Cameron are set to make appearances throughout the first season.
Hailing from Broadway Video and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, Schmigadoon! is co-created by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio.
Barry Sonnenfeld directs and executive produces the series and Cinco Paul serves as showrunner, and wrote all of the original songs for Schmigadoon! In addition to starring, Cecily Strong serves as producer, and Ken Daurio serves as consulting producer and writer.
Jane Krakowski’s role in the series has not yet been revealed, but this is the second Apple-backed show the icon is now a part of.
Krakowski also plays the role of Emily Dickinson’s mother in the Apple TV+ hit show, Dickinson.
