NBC is bringing more song and dance to the network with the season two renewal of its critically acclaimed and buzzworthy new series “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.”
“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.
The series centers on Zoey Clarke, a whip-smart computer coder forging her way in San Francisco. After an unusual event, Zoey, who always preferred podcasts over pop songs, suddenly starts to hear the innermost wants, thoughts, and desires of the people around her – her family, co-workers, and complete strangers – through popular songs. At first, she questions her own sanity, but after getting some guidance from her musically adept neighbor, Mo, and making a breakthrough with her ailing father, Zoey soon realizes this unwanted curse may just be an incredibly wonderful gift as she connects with the world like never before.
All episodes of “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist” are now available on NBCUniversal’s new streaming service, Peacock.
