Disney+ has unveiled the cast of season 2 of “Extraordinary,” the original comedy series from creator and writer Emma Moran and Sid Gentle Films (“Killing Eve”).
A coming-of-age comedy, Season 2 of “Extraordinary” just wrapped production with a raft of new cast members, including Julian Barratt (“The Mighty Boosh”), Rosa Robson (“Inside No. 9”), Kwaku Mills (“The Other One”) and Derek Jacobi (“Murder on the Orient Express”). They join Máiréad Tyers (“Belfast”) who stars in the leading role, alongside Sofia Oxenham, Bilal Hasna and Luke Rollason. Additional cast members include Siobhán McSweeney and Robbie Gee, who are both back for the second season.
In “Extraordinary,” everyone over the age of 18 got their superpower a decade ago — expect for Jen, a self-aware 25-year-old woman, who is still waiting to get hers. Adrift in a confusing world and armed with nothing but a bit of hope and her flatmates, Jen begins her journey to find her maybe-superpower.
Johanna Devereaux, VP of scripted content and executive producer for “Extraordinary,” confirmed the show would be back for a second order at a premiere screening for Season 1 last week. All episodes of “Extraordinary” are available to stream on Disney+ now.
The show was created and penned by Moran, a rising writer whose credits include “Have I Got News for You.” Toby McDonald is set to direct the first half of the season, while Jennifer Sheridan will return for block two.
“Extraordinary” is executive produced by Sally Woodward Gentle, Lee Morris and Charles Dawson for Sid Gentle Films, the production company behind “Killing Eve”. Devereaux executive produced the series with Emma Moran. Producers are Charlie Palmer and Abíólá Rufai-Awójídé.
Disney+’s roster of U.K. original series include the romantic comedy action thriller “Wedding Season” and docuseries “Save Our Squad With David Beckham.”
