One of the last holdouts of cancellations and renewals for NBC has been the musical dramedy, ZOEY’S EXTRAORDINARY PLAYLIST. And as you have learned from the headline, the decision has come through, and the the show has been cancelled after 2 seasons.
The cancellation was all but final when talks broke down to bring the show to NBC’s streaming service, Peacock, for an 8 episode final season. But Lionsgate Television, who co-produces the series, states there are plans to shop the show to other outlets. According to a spokesperson:
In a world where finding loyal and passionate audiences is never easy, we believe there must be a home for this great, award-winning show with a passionate and dedicated following…
As much as I would’ve loved to see a third season for the show, definitely can appreciate why it didn’t make the cut at NBC. Despite an incredibly enjoyable second season, definitely didn’t measure up to it’s first season in terms of story and feels. And despite it’s finale having the potential to continue that trend, I still would’ve loved to have another season of music and fun.
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.
