Extraordinary season 2: Release date, trailer, news for Disney Plus series
The superhero comedy series is returning for season 2!
It's almost time to welcome back Disney Plus's superhero hit Extraordinary for season 2.
The show, which stars Máiréad Tyers and features Derry Girls' Siobhán McSweeney in its cast, follows Jen, a woman without powers living in a world where everyone else develops superpowers when they become an adult.
The end of the first season saw Jen starting on her 'power journey' at a clinic, and thankfully for fans, it was swiftly renewed for a second outing by Disney Plus.
It's no surprise, as McSweeney told The Guardian that the series had "the funniest scripts I've read since Derry Girls" - high praise indeed!
Plus, we've got some epic stars joining the cast of season 2 - including a cameo from actual Sir Derek Jacobi.
But just when will the new episodes be released, and who from the cast is back for season 2? Read on for everything you need to know.
Extraordinary season 2 release date
It has now been officially confirmed that the second season of Extraordinary will debut on Disney Plus just over a year after the first, arriving on 6th March 2024.
Season 2 is written by series creator Emma Moran, and directed by Toby MacDonald and Jennifer Sheridan, with the series being filmed in London.
What will the plot of Extraordinary season 2 be?
The new season picks up where season 1 left off, with Jen enrolling as a client at the power clinic.
The official synopsis for the season says: "Jen soon discovers that the process of finding her power isn't as easy as she hoped, and things in the rest of her life aren't smooth sailing either.
"Ex-cat, now-boyfriend Jizzlord (Luke Rollason) has had an unexpected revelation about his past, and Kash (Bilal Hasna) and Carrie (Sofia Oxenham) are attempting to be totally mature and dignified about their break-up, which is not easy when they're still living under the same roof.
"It seems that Jen and the gang are dealing with new levels of adulting and chaos that none of them are prepared for."
