It is not a shock that the network renewed it for another season. As the overall reception speaks for itself! The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 91% approval rating with an average rating of 7.1/10, based on 23 critic reviews.
The website’s critics’ consensus reads, “Turning a high concept into a grounded good time, The Big Door Prize realizes its full potential thanks to a lovable cast of relatable characters.” Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 71 out of 100 based on 15 critics, indicating “generally favorable reviews.”
After this good news, we would also like to highlight that the prospective premiere date for the second season has yet to be acknowledged! But if we have to predict the potential release date of Season 2, it might premiere sometime around early 2024 at the same designated release window on the streaming platform.
We would like to highlight that the second season has been in production in Atlanta, Georgia for the last few months so the release window seems likely to be accurate. Of course, at this point in time, this is just speculation!
Until there is any formal confirmation, we would suggest that the fans keep a close eye on the social media handles of the network to learn about any new updates and developments of the much anticipated The Big Door Prize Season 2.
