The Disney Plus original series Big Shot is back on the court with its second season. Get ready to watch Coach Korn and the Westbrook Sirens try and raise their game to a whole new level with Big Shot season 2. Of course, challenges are bound to arise.

Big Shot was created by TV veterans David E. Kelley, Brad Garrett and Dean Lorey. While it may seem like an odd tangent for Kelley, the creator behind Big Little Lies, Anatomy of a Scandal, Big Sky and The Lincoln Lawyer, Big Shot is actually one of two Disney Plus original series that Kelly has worked on; the other being Doogie Kamealoha, M.D.

Here is everything that we know about Big Shot season 2.

When is the Big Shot season 2 release date?

Big Shot season 2 debuts on October 12. While the first season released episodes weekly, Big Shot season 2 is making all 10 of its episodes available to binge right away. 

What is the plot of Big Shot season 2?

Big Shot centers on basketball coach Marvyn Korn, whose hot temper got him kicked off his NCAA basketball team. He gets a shot at redemption coaching the high school girls’ basketball team at the Westbrook private school. But first, he’ll need to learn to connect with his players, as well as his own teenage daughter.

The first season ended with the team earning a spot in a higher division, but as the trailer for Big Shot season 2 shows (see below), there are just as many problems off the court as there are on.

Here’s the official synopsis for Big Shot season 2:

"Marvyn’s latest plan toward relevance is to get his team broadcast on ESPN and his method is to recruit an unlikely player: Ava, a gutsy beach volleyball phenom whose public tantrum got her ousted from her own sport. Between losing their assistant coach Holly Barrett to a rival school, new friction amongst teammates, a sudden and unexpected proximity to boys and off-the-court disasters that no one could’ve predicted, this season, the Westbrook Sirens have even more to prove."
