The Big Door Prize will serve as the second Apple original series ordered from Skydance Television, following the drama series Foundation starring Jared Harris and Lee Pace. The project is also the second series ordered at a major streamer from Skydance Television in just over a week after Netflix’s pickup of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s untitled global spy adventure series. Netflix gave the project an eight-episode one-hour series order with Schwarzenneger executive producing and also starring alongside Monica Barbaro.
