Maya Rudolph and Natasha Lyonne's Animal Pictures to Adapt EXTRA ORDINARY Into Horror Comedy Series at TBS

Maya Rudolph, Natasha Lyonne, and Danielle Renfrew Behrens’s production company Animal Pictures has taken on the rights to the indie Irish film Extra Ordinary, which they are going to make into a half-hour horror comedy series at TBS.

The trio will produce the adaptation with Katie Holly and Yvonne Donohoe of Ireland’s Blinder Films, who produced the original movie with Mike Ahern and Enda Loughman, who wrote and directed the original feature, and who are attached to write and direct the series.

Deadline reports, “Extra Ordinary follows Rose and Martin, a ghostbustin’ duo, as they counsel ghosts in their small Irish village while navigating their own budding and sometimes awkward relationship. Everything is going well until an American family with supernatural powers moves into the local castle.”

The film starred Maeve Higgins as Rose and Barry Ward as Martin with Will Forte and Claudia O’Doherty also starring. It was released in the UK and Ireland in 2019 and released in the States in March 2020.

I’m not familiar with the material, but I like the people on board so far. Have you seen the movie? Are you looking forward to the series?
