Extraordinary season 2 sees one of our favorite TV shows of 2023 returning for more laughs.
In 2023, creator Emma Moran introduced us to the world of Extraordinary. This off-beat comedy takes place in an alternate version of London, where everyone over the age of 18 has developed some sort of superpower. Well, everyone except Jen, our painfully self-aware 25-year-old lead who's still navigating this new world and trying to figure out what her power is.
The Disney Plus and Hulu comedy follows Jen and her small circle of friends and family as they confront this chaotic world and everything it throws at them. Season 2 sees Jen working with her new power coach to try and figure out what's blocking her power from emerging. Plus, there's trouble for Carrie and Kash, and Jen's relationship with her mother remains as contentious as ever.
Ahead of the show's release, we got to chat with star Siobhán McSweeney about Extraordinary season 2. She's said before that the series features the funniest scripts since Derry Girls, and, of season 2, she had this to say: "I think that season two is funnier than season one, which is really rude of Emma, frankly"!
Here's everything you need to know about Extraordinary season 2 now that it's arrived.
Extraordinary season 2 release date
Extraordinary season 2 is now streaming on Disney Plus and on Hulu in the US, after premiering on Wednesday, March 6.
The first season is available to stream in both places; it also recently came to ITVX in the UK.
Extraordinary season 2 plot
Extraordinary season 2 picks up right where we last left Jen. She'd wanted to enrol as a client at a powers clinic and she's finally got the money, but she finds that process of trying to access your power isn't as easy as she might have first thought.
Things aren't going much better in her personal life, either: her former cat and now boyfriend, Jizzlord, has had a surprising revelation about his past, and her flatmates Kash and Carrie are trying to handle their break-up... but that's not easy to do when you still live under the same roof. In short, the gang is dealing with new levels of chaos that they don't really seem equipped to deal with.
Extraordinary season 2 cast
Extraordinary season 2 features many of the same faces from the first chapter.
Máiréad Tyers is reprising the role of Jen, the powerless young woman surrounded by her empowered friends and family.
In addition, Luke Rollason has reprised the role of Jizzlord, Jen's unfortunately-named former cat (and now boyfriend), with Bilal Hasna and Sofia Oxenham returning as Kash and Carrie, too.
Derry Girls fave Siobhán McSweeney and Robbie Gee (Sexy Beast) are also back as Mary and Ian, Jen's mother and stepfather.
There are also some new faces among the ranks. Julian Barrett (The Mighty Boosh) is on hand as George, Jen's power coach at the Discovery Clinic, whilst Rosa Robson (Buffering) is playing Nora, a person from Jizzlord's past, and Kwaku Mills is set to play Clark, Carrie's new colleague. We got our first glimpse at the new stars in some new images released on February 13, which you can find below.
Disney also teased that Sir Derek Jacobi was part of the Extraordinary season 2 cast. His voice can be heard in a special cameo partway through Jen's powers coaching; it's a great gag, and one we won't spoil here!
Is there an Extraordinary season 2 trailer?
Yes! The Extraordinary season 2 trailer arrived on February 21. It promises 'more powers, more problems', and there's plenty of both in the teaser. As for new plot points, it looks like Jen's boyfriend's still trying to grapple with, well, being a person (leading to a very awkward encounter with her mother), Jen's been shown her mind by her new Power Discovery Coach, George, and Carrie's determined to start a new chapter following her big break-up with Kash.
