This is despite the fact that Paul and his team have written the complete season, including 25 songs.
“I am sad to share that Apple will not be moving forward with season 3 ofSchmigadoon!
“It’s a miracle we even got two seasons, honestly,” Paul continued.
“And I’m so grateful we did.
And to all the fans of the show out there thank you with all of my heart.
Paul closed by suggesting that there might be a future for the show yet.
“And maybe it’s even a happy beginning.”
“It’s meant to be a little hint about how things could move forward.
That’s the genius of the Muppets and of Paul Williams, who wrote “The Rainbow Connection.”
Season 3 was poised to move into the era of the mega-musical of the 1980s and 1990s.
“They’re pregnant right at the end of the episode,” Paul said.
So, I’m leaning in that direction, although there is a bigger mythology in my head.
But who knows if that’ll ever see the light of day.
Sometimes that stuff bogs things down and overcomplicates something that’s just fun.”
Other dreams for season 3 included wanting to recruit Broadway legendsBernadette PetersandMandy Patinkinfor potential roles.
“It’s a hat on a hat.”
