Jane Levy's ZOEY'S EXTRAORDINARY PLAYLIST Series Will Get a Wrap-Up Movie Thanks To Roku
As you may have heard, NBC recently canceled the musical TV series Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. My kids and I actually enjoyed the series so I was kind of bummed out when it got canceled. But, Roku ended up flying in to save the day!
According to TV Line, Roku is nearing a deal for a two-hour wrap-up holiday movie for the series, which is pretty cool. If that is successful it could lead to a full-on revival of the series. The movie being developed is going to premiere during the holidays.
As of right now, new deals with the primary cast, led by Jane Levy, are currently being hammered out.
The Season 2 finale ended with a little twist with Max suddenly having the power where he could hear Zoey’s heart song. When talking about the possible future of the series and how the characters might evolve over the long term, showrunner Austin Winsberg said:
“Just in terms of thinking how could Zoey and Max work long-term, for me, it was important for Max to have an understanding of what it’s like for Zoey to experience heart songs. And I also like the idea that Max could know what’s going on in Zoey’s head as well. And certainly, from a romantic comedy perspective, to be able to play stories where these two people are in a relationship, but they also know exactly what the other person is thinking about, felt like ripe ground for storylines.”
Did you watch Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist? If so, are you happy to hear that it will live on for at least one more wrap-up movie?
