Despite its passionate fan base, NBC announced their decision to cancel Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist after two seasons—but this may not be the last we’ve seen of it. The beloved musical dramedy is currently looking for a new home after its cancellation at NBC.
Shortly after the show’s cancelation became official, its creator Austin Winsberg started a hashtag #saveZoeysplaylist and encouraged the fans of the show to tweet about it. Its co-producer Lionsgate Television is hoping the series will be shopped at another network after both NBC and its sibling streaming service Peacock failed to pick it up for the third season.
“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,” said a Lionsgate spokesperson in a statement.
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist premiered on NBC in 2020, and it centers on young a programmer with the ability to hear the thoughts of people around her in the form of songs and musical numbers. Jane Levy plays the titular role, while the rest of the cast includes Skylar Astin, Alex Newell, John Clarence Stewart, Peter Gallagher, and Mary Steenburgen.
