Renewed Or Cancelled?
If someone thought the superhero genre had nothing more to offer than caped crusaders running around in underwear tucked over latex pants, you are wrong. Extraordinary is here to bust that myth and much more. Season 1 of this entertaining, offbeat roller-coaster ride not only had laughs but also the weirdest superpowers one could imagine. The balance of forces in Extraordinary is explored through our protagonist Jen (Mairead Tyers), who cannot get a superpower while others around her get it like puberty. She has mad support from her best friend and roommate Carrie (Sofia Oxenham) as she navigates her personal embarrassment.
Season 1 is available to stream on Hulu and Disney+. We have some exciting news to share with you about probable season 2 of Extraordinary. Here is what we know about its renewal/cancellation status.
What is Extraordinary Season 1 about?
Jen lives in a world where everyone has superpowers. Some people can take flight with nothing but their bodies; some can make you orgasm with a touch; some are shapeshifters, who can transform into animals. One of these shapeshifters lands in Jen’s house, where she lives with her roommate Carrie and her boyfriend Kash. He is suitably named Jizzlord and becomes a part of Jen’s journey to discovering her unique ability.
She tries out a number of methods like going to the clinic and trying out different homemade remedies. But life has a surprise for her, as she learns what truly makes a person’s life special.
Emma Moran, who created the show, describes its underlying soul through her own life experiences. “I don’t feel like that anymore, or I still do a little bit… I think the point of the show is understanding that you don’t owe anyone, that you don’t have to have anything to offer, and that you’re just OK. And that’s fine: you’ve got your friends, your family – just have fun. You don’t have to be the best at things.”
Has Extraordinary been renewed for season 2?
Yes, Extraordinary has been renewed for season 2! The announcement came back in the last week of January. We were waiting for supplemental major announcements about the cast and the plot for season 2 but we do not have credible answers.
It seems like Disney is banking on the combination of existentialism and comedy that modern viewers have become accustomed to. Emma Moran and Sid Gentle are expected to return in their roles as the showrunner and producer respectively.
What we know about season 2 so far:
We do not have many details to share with you at the moment. Since the second season has not started filming yet, we have not been able to learn about casting choices or plots. The tentative date for release is next year and one can expect it to come out pretty swiftly. We’ll be sure to update this page in the future when more information is known though!
