NBC Renews ‘Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist’ for Season 2
After wrapping its first season run last month, NBC has renewed its musical hit Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist for Season 2.
The buzzy and critically acclaimed series starring Jane Levy is feeling the beat as more song and dance routines are on the way. Centering around the titular Zoey (Levy), the dramedy follows her daily struggles and relationships with family, friends, and coworkers.
These scenarios are made more interesting after a freak accident during a routine head scan which renders her able to hear others’ inner thoughts and feelings via musical numbers. Season 1 introduced viewers to Zoey’s circle in San Francisco, which includes her neighbor Mo (Alex Newell), mother Maggie (Mary Steenburgen), ailing father Mitch (Peter Gallagher), best friend Max (Skylar Astin), co-worker Simon (John Clarence Stewart), and boss (Lauren Graham).
“We were overwhelmed by the number of people who fell in love with Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and how much joy it brought to everyone. We’re thrilled to bring it back and can’t wait to see how Zoey’s journey continues,” said Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta, Co-Presidents of Scripted Programming, NBC Entertainment in a statement.
