Schmigadoon! Episode 5 Preview

Apple TV+ has released a sneak preview of this Friday’s new episode of Schmigadoon!, in which Mildred Layton (Tony winner Kristin Chenoweth) seizes the chance to increase her power by warning her neighbors about the “Tribulation” brought to town by newcomers Melissa (Cecily Strong) and Josh (Keegan-Michael Key), with a Harold Hill-inspired patter song. The episode, itself titled “Tribulation,” also shows the leading couple’s new romances hitting roadblocks, as Melissa meets someone unexpected and Josh’s new flame Emma (Ariana DeBose) reveals a secret. Written by Allison Silverman and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, it’s the fifth installment of the six planned for the series, which premiered July 16 on Apple TV+ and concludes next Friday, August 13.
