We're still not over the cancellation of Schmigadoon! on Apple TV+, the series that was basically catnip for musical theatre fans. After the Golden Age musical-inspired season one, and the '60s and '70s musicals referenced in season two, fans predicted that season three would cover mega-musicals. And, according to Alan Cumming, we were right.

On an interview with Variety's Awards Circuit podcast, where he primarily talked about his newest gig as a host for the reality TV show The Traitors, Cumming also explained what season 3 of Schmigadoon! could have looked like had the show not been canceled. He said that season 3 would have covered '80s and '90s mega-musicals, including Les Misérables, Into the Woods, and Phantom of the Opera.

"I was playing some sort of version of Jean Valjean and Phantom of the Opera. And for some reason I was in a dungeon a lot, singing, as you do," said Cumming. 

In response, Schmigadoon! creator Cinco Paul, wrote on social media, "👀 I can neither confirm nor deny." 

Though Schmigadoon will not return to Apple TV+, it is going back to its stage roots. The live show will premiere at the Kennedy Center in 2025, with a book, music, and lyrics written by Paul. Cumming is "not sure" if he'll be able to do the stage version because of scheduling. 

But the actor did wish for another season of the series. "We were getting into our strides with it...It was sweet while it lasted. In a way, it’s actually lovely that it didn’t run itself into the ground, but it would have been nice to do one more."

In the meantime, Cumming revealed that after he finished filming season 3 of Traitors, he was going to start performing his new, live, one-man show called Uncut. He is also working on a musical version of the British sitcom The High Life, the '90s show he had co-written and starred in about the crew of a fictional airline called Air Scotia. The High Life is expected to premiere in the U.K. in early 2026 with the National Theatre of Scotland.
