Grab your bowler hats and fishnet tights, because beginning on April 7, Schmigadoon! is taking on the musicals of the '60s and '70s with Schmicago. The Apple TV+ television series, which started its first season in the realm of golden age musicals, follows two modern-day New Yorkers as they stumble upon a fantasy world of musical theatre, which they must navigate their way through by song and dance.

The the first season of Schmigadoon! earned a loyal following of theatre fans and an Emmy award.
The upcoming season, Schmicago, will feature new musical numbers composed by the show's co-creator Cinco Paul. Last season's stars Cecily Strong, Keegan-Michael Key, Ariana DeBose, Martin Short, Dove Cameron, Jaime Camil, Kristin Chenoweth, Alan Cumming, Ann Harada, Jane Krakowski, and Aaron Tveit will be returning—alongside new guest stars Tituss Burgess and Patrick Page.
