(NBC)
The story of Zoey Clarke may not be over just yet. There’s talk that Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist may be revived for a two-hour movie special.
Originally airing on NBC, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist stars Jane Levy, Skylar Astin, Alex Newell, John Clarence Stewart, Andrew Leeds, Alice Lee, Michael Thomas Grant, Kapil Talwalkar, and Mary Steenburgen. Zoey Clarke (Levy) is a whip-smart computer coder who’s making 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.
The second season of Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist averaged a 0.35 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.82 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 16% in the demo and down by 9% in viewership.
The show became one of the lowest-rated scripted series on NBC and was cancelled in June.
Negotiations had been underway to relocate Zoey’s to the Peacock streaming service for a third and final season of eight episodes. Unfortunately, the deal didn’t happen. Lionsgate, which produces the series, was said to be shopping the show elsewhere.
Roku, which produces digital and streaming media players, may end up helping Zoey’s viewers get some closure. Word is that Lionsgate and Roku are in talks for a two-hour movie special that would wrap up the series. If things work out, it would likely be released via The Roku Channel during this year’s holiday season. The channel is ad-supported and is available to view for free via Roku devices and online.
HERE’S a suggestion- why don’t they wrap it up with a movie on Peacock instead of a different platform?
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist is the most incredible TV show I have seen in decades. It is so positive, uplifting and entertaining. I have watched each episode multiple times. Please find another network/station that appreciates the extraordinary cast, playlist, and storyline. It deserves multiple more seasons but at the very least a two hour wrap-up. PLEASE!
I’ll Watch! So sad/angry when the show was cancelled.
Please bring Zoeys back !!!!
I wish it had not been canceled. I enjoyed it and loved the music and choreography. I will watch a third season, 2 hour movie or any other way I could see more of this show!
That is not fair to the fans at ALL that NBC will not air the 2hr movie for closure to the series. I guess regular cable viewers get ripped. Why do all these networks do that? Not everyone does this streaming stuff.
How pitiful that NBC doesn’t have enough integrity to run a lousy two hour series wrap up themselves. I am so disappointed in them. No offense to Roku. I will watch it wherever it occurs. Great series and wonderful, inclusive cast.
It better happen.Then again I haven’t watched the show but am hoping the fans get a proper finale through the movie instead of no closure.
