Do You Want More ‘Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist’ After the Christmas Movie? (POLL)
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Zoey’s Extraordinary Christmas.]
When NBC canceled Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist after two seasons, it did so leaving fans with quite the cliffhanger: After watching Zoey (Jane Levy) hear people’s inner thoughts as heart songs, suddenly, her boyfriend Max (Skylar Astin) gained the ability to do so — just as the finale ended! Fortunately, thanks to The Roku Channel, we got a Christmas movie, one that answered at least some of our questions.
In Zoey’s Extraordinary Christmas, we had Zoey and Max together, plus her family — Maggie (Mary Steenburgen), David (Andrew Leeds), and Emily (Alice Lee) — figuring out how to celebrate their first Christmas without Mitch (Peter Gallagher). There was family life for Mo (Alex Newell) with Perry (David St. Louis) and his kids, fantastic (and fantastical) musical numbers, and theories about those heart songs. (Really, our only major complaint was the lack of Lauren Graham’s Joan.) Plus, we saw Zoey at work at SPRQ Point and being friends with Simon (John Clarence Stewart) as they both dealt with complicated feelings about the holidays with their families (after that love triangle ended), plus Bernadette Peters dropped by as Deb and Maggie, who debated dating again, had a bittersweet moment at Mitch’s grave on Christmas.
The film even gave us a reason for Max gaining Zoey’s ability — to better understand what it does to her — while teasing one for her having it without actually giving us an answer. Levy liked that that was left open-ended, she told TV Insider. Her own theory is her character “got them because of losing her dad and instead of becoming more withdrawn from life to become more involved with it.” That would give Zoey’s something to explore further if this isn’t the end.
Now, we would love to see more Zoey’s in any form, whether it be another full season or just a second movie (or series of movies). As Astin pointed out, the movie shows “that our show can exist outside of the typical SPRQ Point, Zoey’s apartment backdrop. There’s other holidays that we can explore. There’s other locations we can explore. We can take [these characters] through whatever life has to offer.” And Levy said she’d love to continue to “partake in the musical numbers instead of just observe them.”
But now we turn it over to you, the readers. Do you want to see Zoey’s continue? If so, how? Let us know in the poll below.

O
This is/was my favorite show when it aired. I was devastated when they canceled it, especially with the cliffhanger ending. Then it was brought back in a fantastic movie that only showcased that it should have never been canceled in the first place. I hope they keep going whether it's more seasons or movies I don't care as long as we get more of this show and these characters.

I love this show and was so disappointed that it was canceled. I enjoyed the Christmas movie but it was bittersweet knowing I may not be able to watch it again. I love all the characters, and the actors who portray them are so talented (such great singing voices!) The singing and dancing numbers have been fantastic - thanks to Mandy Moore! I would love to see more seasons or movies or both. I hope someone picks the show up and continues on with it.

The movie was great. As much as I enjoyed seasons 1 & 2, I couldn't help but get really turned off on how badly Zoey treated Max and Simon's infidelity. However, the movie showed how they all matured and it left me wanting more!

My husband and I both enjoyed watching Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. I was so disappointed when I found out that NBC dropped it and so glad that Roku made the Christmas movie. I just watched it last night, and it gave me all the feels. Yes, I definitely want to see more Zoey movies! She hasn't lost her powers yet, and there are still so many stories to tell.

I fell in love with Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist since the pilot show first aired. I was inspired with the way the show approached and addressed difficult topics, featured talented artists through song and dance, and provided hope for the future. I was absolutely thrilled Roku gave fans Zoey's Extraordinary Christmas! While the movie was amazing and the story line was just what we needed, we still need more Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist in our lives! #SaveZoeysPlaylist

I love this show and was very sad to see it canceled. I'm so glad Roku picked it up for the holiday movie and lead us to see the potential for more seasons. I want to see Zoey and Max go further together. I want to see Maggie be happy again without Mitch. I'd love to see Mitch have moments with his grandchild...I can go on and on. Please don't make us wait too long for new seasons. Get on it, and start filming season 3....GO!

We need this show about caring for others and doing our best to be thoughtful and kind. I love that what people show may not be how they actually feel. More seasons please!

I'm a 61 year old grandfather, probably not the demographic that the show strives for, but I haven't had more fun watching TV since "Lost" ended. The music, the humor, the mix of sentiment and relatability.. c'mon people if they are not making money creating this show, then they've marketed it all wrong. More of this is so needed and appreciated!!

This special was so good! I absolutely LOVED seeing everyone again. The singing, dancing, choreography etc were fantastic. I would absolutely be up for more seasons but I'm grateful we got this special. Someone else suggested Zoey's Extraordinary Wedding. Love it!

I look at the 81% Rotten Tomatoes reviews and can’t understand that what I, and apparently many other people believe, the one of the best and most entertaining shows in television, had been cancelled. The singing and dancing is so entertaining and brings us into a world that we want to live in. The stories are heartwarming and funny. And the characters are all wonderful people. The voices of the cast are truly amazing, and the choreography is second to none.
PLEASE, PICK THIS SHOW UP AND CONTINUE MAKING NEW ONES….ANY NETWORK!

O
Should be renewed/brought back. It's just nice to have a drama that is "fun" with some emotional span. Not everything is about crime, medical situations and dysfunctional families. Give them back to us.
2
-
G
I totally love the premise of this show. I love everything about it and want it to continue however I can get it. It could be expanded by showing some of the lesser characters in their daily lives. Or maybe we could see how a rival company operates. The holidays, kind of limits the stories or at least the variety of the stories the characters could tell.
2
-
B
I loved this, although there were a few moments that made me cringe. Yes, please to more of this extraordinary show. It is easily my favorite American tv series of the last several years.

-
O
Everything about this show was worlds better than all the reality trash. Cancelling it was a bad move. Instead of giving viewrs mire of what we love, they cancel it. The movie was wonderful!!
Bring the sow back or let another Network provide more of the quality acting, storylines, and musical nunbers. We need MORE positivity like these talented people provided and short sighted management destroyed.

O
Zoeys Playlist is such a great show, that is so needed right now! It helped lift me up during this pandemic and I was so beyond disappointed by its cancelation. It's a such a unique show and helps make us all feel better! Please bring it back, someone somewhere! I will take more seasons and more holiday specials....I'll take it all!!!
2
-
O
I wish they would do another season! It's such a great show, it's a bit of fun, whilst tackling harder issues in such a pure way. It was a bit of joy, especially in these crazy covid times. I'm still hoping they bring it back. 🤞🤞🤞🤞 A Christmas miracle after the amazing Christmas movie!

More TV seasons! Enjoyed the movie, but I think 40 min episodes are the best format for the show

Love, Love, Love Zoey and crew! ( But then again, I agree truly enjoy watching Jane Levy in anything she is in. So talented!) Thos show made me happy and tugged at my heartstrings every single episode. I was so disappointed when it was canceled and really thrilled the movie was coming out. However they need to keep Zoe a d her beautiful bunch amazing characters in tact, I'll take it. My preference is that they continue making a series so that we can join her and Max, of course, in a lot more stories!

I love this show. When the show came out and I saw the first episode I freaked out. Over the years you have seen flash mobs and concerts and idk if you are like me but sometimes I wish my life was a big flash mob. I mean singing a song and dancing to express your feelings instead of just talking about it or hiding it no thanks boring. I mean how many people have put their headphones on and started singing and dancing as they do their shopping or driving. So I vote 100% to keep the showing going if it's views don't worry they will get there and if it's money who cares one show won't break the bank. Lately so many great shows have been canceled and I finally have personally contacted with one and it seems sad and messed up if it was canceled. I'm just saying who would not want their life to be a musical. Music makes people happy and everyone needs a little happy everyday. Plus can we talk about the fact that the show has the most amazing and talented actors is a cherry on top. I loved Alex in glee and loved loved skyler in pitch perfect. Plus so many more actors we have not seen in awhile. Please think more about it before finally giving that last pink notice.

We need more Zoey's. My boyfriend hated watching it with me because of how good it was and how emotional he got (i.e. he loves it). Someone pick this magical storyline full of realness with a hint of whimsy and allow the heart songs to continue playing for us all.
