Schmigadoon! Plot and Cast
The finale of Schmigadoon! season 1 did not see Melissa and Josh run across the bridge. Though they found true love, their journey is not yet over. We didn’t see them finally leave the town of Schmigadoon and return to their New York City medical lifestyles. This is the territory that season 2 will explore but through the ’60s and ’70s lens of Chicago.
Josh’s newfound embrace of expression and communication through bursts of the song may take center stage in season 2. In real life, the actors got pretty choked up rehearsing and shooting this scene, which warms our hearts and makes us even more excited to see what the performers can do with this material.
Since most of the original cast is returning, perhaps the town of Schmigadoon itself will transform into Schmicago, with the residents taking new forms as different characters whose purpose is to teach visitors important lessons about life and love.
Coming to the cast, it includes Keegan-Michael Key, Cecily Strong, Fred Armisen, Dove Cameron, Jaime Camil, Kristin Chenoweth, Alan Cumming, and many more.
