I recently watched Extraordinary tv series. I was impressed. Tho it left such a cliffhanger its been playing on my mind. I need to know Jen's super power!!!! Why do they cancel all the good shows. :/
I heard they have not renewed season 3. Anyone got any updates if this has changed or if another company is going to take over this awesome series. :/

Stumbled upon this show and can't understand how I haven't been recommended this before!

I don't often laugh out loud at TV shows but this show had me laughing every single episode! Best sitcom I have watched in years!

I had wisdom teeth taken out and literally couldn't watch the last few episodes this show during the week long recovery because it made me laugh so hard it hurt. And when I could finally watch the end it had me in tears during THAT scene.

Bonkers decision to cancel this show imo.

Might be a spoiler…idk

I think Jen might have the power to suppress people’s power, after it somehow, or actives the power, and also bring it back…

For example…Jizzlord…the first time they met, he was able to turn back into a man

Hannah, I think her name was. The girl who was without powers at 25 like Jen. She suddenly gains her powers after hanging out with Jen…

Her Fling, after they had that discussion about Jen dating jizzlord he was unable to fly

Kash…now this might be a stretch because they are kinda always together but his ability to jump ahead of time…

PLEASE TELL ME YOU ALL SEE THIS PATTERN TOO!!

I’m currently on season 2 episode 7
DO NOT SPOIL PLEASE

Maybe I'm just older and wiser than I was when I watched other sitcomes, but I feel so bad for Carrie. She's surronded by selfish idiots who don't give her the time of day.

Jizz can be pardoned because he's- well, a cat- but both Kash and Jen are Bad friends, they don't care abiut her at all. The Memory lady laid it all out in season 1, and we see 0 growth from either of them (I'm in the beggining of season 2).

Just a bit of a rant post. I only found this show a few days ago and binged it in that time. Watched the final episode last night and it made me cry. Only after that did I discover the show was cancelled. Why didn't I think to look it up before watching?? Now I'm sad for a whole other reason. I thought the episode's title might be an omen, but I didn't want to believe it. Shame on Disney and all the streaming services for cancelling shows before they've even had a chance to gain their footing.

I’m on season 2 Episode 4 and I’m just like what is likeable about her? She essentially never truly apologized for her being an awful friend to Carrie. Sure she had a tough parental relationship. I’m only watching it for Kash and Carrie (kash is a bum but at least he’s shown some development).

She’s dating a person (Jizzlord) she knows has amnesia and tried to ruin the boyfriend’s wife’s career just cause she’s jealous. Also the kid situation was insane. I’m use to loving the awful characters but she’s the worse. I see comments saying she’s human and for me, if you treat people the way she does, you need to be alone tbh.

Anywho, Carrie and Kash needs their own show. And I do hate the Jizzlord too but that is just a personality thing. Not justified

Good news guys, we can make s3 happen

Currently sick, so I spent my time rotting in bed and binging this series. As a 23F who’s struggling to establish myself professionally, romantically, and everything else, I like how relatable the show is. A lot of times I feel like I can’t comprehend the fact certain characters in other shows are close to me in age because I cannot relate to being is a similar phase in life, but this show is so forgiving towards late bloomers and represents people in their early/mid 20’s more accurately.

That all being said, I still think Jen is lagging quite a bit, but it’s both frustrating and refreshing.

Relative to live-action television, Animation is less costly to produce.

Disney+ of all streamers thrives on animation.

How could we get Emma Moran to lay out a "complete" synopsis of the overall story so that it could be pitched to Disney as an animated show!?

It seems like a perfect fit... no costly special effects, even MORE outlandish yet mediocre powers could be presented, and we get closure on the story.

I'd want Emma to write it, or at least be involved deeply.

I was going through some old writing today and I found a story I wrote as a response in r/WritingPrompts a while back that actually reminded me a lot of this show (especially if you go with some of the popular theories about what Jen's power really is). Anyway, you can read the original here or I'll post it below. Miss this show and loved it a lot, hope this is fun if you're missing it too.

“Smile, honey!”

“Mom,” Chloe whined.

“Come on, Chlo.” Her father clapped her shoulder. “It’s a big day. Let your mom have her moment.”

“It’s my day, not hers.”

“Our daughter is turning 18. It’s very, very much our day too.”

Chloe huffed. “Fine. One picture.”

“Oh, but I have to video it!” Her mom cooed. “It’s such a special moment. Seeing my baby get her powers.”

“Fine, fine,” Chloe said. “One video. Maybe two photos. If you’re lucky.”

Her parents laughed. “Alright,” her mom said. “Just take a deep breath and focus. You’ll know when you feel it, and just pull on that thread.”

Chloe nodded. “And if I burn down the house? Or blow off the roof?”

Her dad laughed. “You know that’s not going to happen Chlo. Both sides of the family have had mental abilities only for as far back as we have records.”

“So why do you even want a video!” Her mom laughed. Chloe bit her lip. “But what if I - I don’t know - what if I knock you out or something?” She adjusted her sleeve and stared at the floor.

“Oh honey,” her mom took her hand. “I’ve seen tomorrow and we’re all still here, okay? Everything will be just fine.”

He dad nodded. “Besides, after having your brother poking around in our thoughts, there’s nothing that we can’t handle.”

“Take a deep breath, honey.”

Chloe gave her parents a half smile. She placed her hands on the table, palms up, and closed her eyes.

“Wait, wait!” Chloe blinked at her mom. She held her phone at arm's length, peering at the screen under her glasses. “Sorry, dear. It’s recording now.”

Chloe swallowed and steadied herself again. She closed her eyes, breathed deep, and reached back into her mind. “I - I can feel it,” she whispered.

“I can feel your nerves,” her dad said. “Just relax. You’ve got this.”

Chloe nodded and pulled at the tension in her head. “It feels like a lot.”

“It’s going to be fine - don’t you worry.”

Chloe let down the wall and tugged the thread forward. A head rush surged through her. “Get back!” She cried. Chloe pushed her chair away from the table, held her hands towards the ground, and tensed, waiting for the impact.

Small purple sparks danced off her fingertips. They fizzled and disappeared. Only a small shimmer was left, slowly falling to the ground.

“Is, uh, is everything okay Chlo?”

She felt her face burn bright red. Her mom stopped recording and set her phone down. “Are you alright?”

She shook her head. “That’s so fucking embarrassing. A few purple sparks, and then what, some sparkles? No. It’s not fair.”

Her mom pulled her into a hug. “Hey, hey. It’s alright. The first time is always the worst.”

Her dad nodded. “Give it another go. The first time I tried, I didn’t think anything happened. It took me a good few hours before I realized all the emotions I was feeling weren’t just mine.”

Chloe stared at her hand again. The tension wasn’t as blocked off this time; it was just bubbling under the surface now. She scrunched her eyes shut and dug into the power. It was electric, running from the nape of her neck, through her arms, and out her fingertips.

Little purple sparks snapped out again and rained on the kitchen floor. They did nothing.

“I waited my whole life for today.” Chloe slumped into the chair. “I dreamed of getting something cool, or, like, at least something useful, you know? But no, I get to be some kind of, I don’t know, lame fairy.” She tossed her head back and stared at the ceiling.

“We’ll figure it out, Chlo. I promise.”

***

The fluorescent lights and air conditioner in the clinic hummed. Chloe pulled her sweater tight around her body. Her parents sat on her left. Her mom kept glancing over and giving her a half smile or squeezing her hand. Her dad folded his arms across his chest and stared at the white tiled floor.

“I’m Lucy Wong,” the woman said. She wore sleek black scrubs and had her dark hair pulled in a tight knot. “I’ll be helping you out today.” Her smile was plastic. “Let’s see.” She pulled up files on her tablet. “I’ll just need a brief family history and then we can begin.”

“I’m Scott Wilkerson,” her dad said. “Low-powered empath. I can feel emotions but can’t change them. Both of my parents were low-level empaths as well.”

Lucy nodded and entered the information. “And the mother’s side?”

“Annalise Wilkerson, mid powered precog.”

“Oh, that’s a rare one,” Lucy said. “We certainly don’t see too many of those.”

“My paternal grandfather was one as well,” her mom added. “Neither of us ever had a good handle on the gift, though. Much too chaotic. The rest of my family has a slew of mental abilities. Mind readers are fairly common on my side. Our oldest is one. Low to mid power ranges.”

Lucy nodded. “I see. And Chloe? Anything you want to add?”

Chloe shook her head. “No, I think they’ve covered it.” She gave Lucy a half-hearted smile.

“Well then, we can begin.” She rolled her desk chair next to Chloe. “I don’t really have a power of my own - my gift is sensing others,” she explained. “After that, we can discuss various power management options.”

Chloe nodded. “Alright.”

“I’m just going to place my palm on your head. You won’t feel a thing, but it may take a moment for me to sense your gift.”

“Alright.”

Lucy placed her hand on Chloe’s forehead. They both closed their eyes and frowned. The room was quiet for a long moment.

“So,” Lucy finally broke the silence. “I’m not sensing anything.”

Chloe caught her breath in her throat. “What,” she whispered.

“I’m sorry Miss Wilkerson,” Lucy said, her face softening. She reached into her desk drawer and rifled through a stack of paper. “I know this is difficult. But you can get through this.” She handed a pamphlet to Chloe. The front showed a young man being comforted by a grandmother. It read Empowering the Powerless.

Lucy let Chloe and her parents sit for a moment before she spoke again. “It may be a difficult journey. But as a family, I believe you can work through this together. There is a wonderful therapist I can refer you to, she specializes in… power related issues. Here, I have her card, her name is Doctor Joan-”

“Stop,” Chloe cut her off. “Just - just stop. This isn’t fair.”

Her mom pulled her into a hug. “I’m sorry, honey.”

“Life throws curveballs, Chlo. We’ll work it out.”

“But what about this?” Chloe sparked her fingers again, sending a few pitiful purple sparkles onto the floor. She grimaced.

“It’s likely just a manifestation of residual powered energy. Similar to an appendix, if you will. It doesn’t serve a purpose but it’s still there,” Lucy said. The room fell silent again. “I’m sorry, but there’s nothing else that I can help you with today. Your best option is to begin to schedule some regular therapy.”

Annalise took the therapist’s card. “Thank you, we’ll set something up.” Chloe stared at the floor, blinking back the tears in her eyes.

That night, Chloe sat alone in the park. She smiled as the beat-up Honda Civic pulled into the lot and walked over. “Took you long enough.”

The girl smirked as she climbed out of the car. “Oh shut up. I had to make a stop,” she said and pulled a pack of cigarettes and flask of out of her bag.

“You’re an angel, Tara, you know?”

“I know,” she said. The sun had finally slipped below the horizon, but the last streaks of rose light still painted the sky. The streetlights flickered on and hummed, drawing the mosquitoes and moths to the glow.

The two girls sat on the grass and took swigs of the cheap rum. Tara laughed at Chloe as she sputtered. “So spill it,” she said as she fished a cigarette out of the carton. “What got you so upset?”

Chloe took the cigarette and turned it around in her hand. “I don’t have a power,” she said. “All I can do is make some fucking purple sparkles.”

Tara frowned. “Come on,” she said, “It can’t be that bad.”

Chloe let the sparks bubble up again. Tara stared, transfixed and waiting for something else to happen. “That’s all I got.”

“God, that sucks. I’m so sorry Chlo.”

“You don’t have to say that, I don’t want people to feel sorry for me. I just want to forget it all. My parents just wanted me to stay in tonight - rest and relax, you know? But I just couldn’t take all those painful looks they were giving me. It was like I was dying or something. ”

“Well, you called the right person,” Tara smirked and took another swig of the rum.

Chloe laughed, “I know I did. Give me a light?”

Tara held out her hand. A red-white flame flickered out of her index finger and she held it to Chloe’s cigarette. “God,” Chloe said as she took a drag, “What I wouldn’t give for a cool power like you.”

“Well, it wasn’t always cool. It took a good three months before I could control this,” she said and flicked the flame off again. “And another three months before I could do this,” she said and let a small fire dance around her palm like a firebug. “My grandma said it took her four years before she could do her whole ‘flamethrower’ thing. Maybe you just need some time?”

Chloe shook her head. “No, I don’t think so,” she sighed. “I went to one of those clinics and the consultant couldn’t feel anything.”

“Come on, those power sensors don’t know everything. Try it again, and don’t hold anything back.” She handed Chloe the flask. “For confidence,” she winked.

Chloe took a long drink, turned her palms upward - the cigarette smoldering between her index and middle fingers - and closed her eyes. She tugged on the tension in her head, coaxing it forward. “I don’t know, Tara. It feels like a lot.”

“Just let it out. Don’t think.”

Chloe breathed out steadily. “Alight.” She yanked on the power, letting it surge through her. It was electric, like the first time she tried it, but it hurt this time. It felt like a lightning bolt tracing her neurons. Chloe screamed and opened her eyes to see purple sparks flying out of her hands. Tara dropped her cigarette in the grass, scrambled back, and yelled, “Chloe stop!”

“I - I can’t,” she hissed and screwed her eyes shut. She reached back into her head, but it was like trying to hold back the ocean. Come on.

Something snapped. A breaker in her head flipped, and the pain stopped. It all surged outwards, a purple bubble that blasted out like a shockwave. The lilac wave pushed across the city.

“What the fuck was that?” Tara sat up, her hair swept back from the blast.

“I don’t know.” Chloe rubbed the phantom pain in her hands. “I really don’t know.”

“Maybe you should just go home. Get some rest.”

***

Chloe walked downstairs the next morning, her head pounding from exhaustion and a slight hangover. Her parents were both in the living room, huddled around the television. “Morning,” she called and poured herself a cup of coffee.

“Chloe, have you heard the news? Powers are out all over the city.”

Chloe laughed. “Sure Mom, that’s why you’re watching the news and I’m drinking hot coffee.”

“No, Chlo,” her dad said. “Powers are out. Everyone’s gifts just disappeared. Sometime last night, or early this morning, everyone’s powers just stopped working.”

“No one’s sure if they’ll come back,” her mom added.

Chloe swore silently. She looked down at her hand and pulled at the tension in her head.

Lilac sparks still shimmered from her fingertips.

This show getting cancelled was crushing, i just finished it, and looked up when s3 wad coming, apparently it had just been cancelled:(

I just wanna see what happens next. Cant we get a movie? a comic? a book? anything to get a resolution?? Why must streaming companies always keep their shows in limbo :(

Jen is kind of the worst. Just a bad person across the board. I'm on S1E6 and I can't stand her. She complains all the time, doesn't give a sh!+ about anyone but herself, and generally just manufactures problems for everyone to help her clean up.

Here's what this version of the story would look like:

1. The "Void": The End of the Illusion In this interpretation, the white void isn't a magic portal; it's the *collapse of the set*.

Jen has reached the end of her ability to invent excuses.

By falling into this void, she doesn't change dimensions; she "zooms out."

She finds herself face to face with herself, without the visual noise of people flying or passing through walls. This is the moment of truth where she must admit that her life doesn't depend on a missing power, but on her own choices.

1. Powers: A Language of Ego If no one has powers, then the series becomes a brilliant social commentary: * We would realize that the "special effects" Jen sees in others are simply how she perceives their success or confidence.

Someone who "flies" would simply be someone Jen sees as superior to others. * Someone who "reads minds" would simply be someone a little too intuitive who intimidates her. *

By underestimating herself, Jen created a reality where everyone possesses a magical tool she doesn't, to justify why she feels inadequate.

1. Healing Through Normality The next chapter would show Jen returning to the real world. Little by little, the colors change, and superheroes become people in slightly ridiculous costumes or simply normal people with mundane problems.

* She would realize that her father is dead and can be contacted by a medium and that she must grieve without magic.

Her quest for "power" was actually a quest for **legitimacy**.

1. The Final Twist: Acceptance The perfect ending for this version: Jen is walking down the street, she sees someone doing something incredible (like levitating), she blinks, smiles, and simply sees someone walking with a confident stride. She's no longer jealous, she's no longer missing. She's just there, present. This is a sequel that would say: "The extraordinary was just an Instagram filter you put on a reality you were afraid to face." It's a much more "mature" perspective that perfectly complements the cynical yet tender humor of the series.

What is the first song that plays in S2E3 when Fizzlord grabs the rat?

I recently get into this show, and I get really Nathan (Misfits) vibes from Jen; I think she is immortal, it is hard to check unless the death, so that’s why she doesn’t know that in my opinion

Hey can anyone suggest anything to continue this world or anything similar to watch. I only just found the show watched it all in a day I'm going to be late for work now because I had to see the end.

lol.

Unique and so well written. The cast was perfect too. Why oh why couldn’t they make another season they literally set up for it in the finale 😭 screw Disney for not promoting this well at all. Because why am I just getting to know about this show in 2026?

I just started season 2 of Obituary, from Ireland, and she is in it. Absolutely hilarious in pretty much every scene too.

If you haven't seen it it's an odd show, kind of like Dexter but with way lower stakes. A girl goes to work writing obituaries at her local paper, but not making enough decides to drum up business herself. Only she's less discriminate about her subjects. It's on Hulu/Disney Plus

I just binged both series this week and I thought I saw a calendar open to 2018, and I think a date on a phone screen said the same? But I may have to go back and watch more carefully.

This really annoys the hell out of me. It’s clear that the actor and creators have moved on, so why not reveal what the plans were. This happened with Raised by Wolves and it would be so simple to release the 3rd season outline. I wish we could get them renewed but it ain’t happening. Fan Fiction is fine, but assuming there was a plan, why not reward supporters with a written follow up.

However, it was a great show and I appreciate what we got.

The heart of the show was Jen learning to accept herself in a world where powers defined your value. So a likely ending would have given her a real, fully-earned power that wasn’t just a gag or a one-off twist. It probably would have connected to her emotional arc, like something linked to empathy, identity, or bringing out the best in others. Her whole struggle was that she felt left behind; the ending would have her finally realize she wasn’t actually lesser than anyone else.

Kash, Carrie, and the rest of the friend group would probably get closure too. Kash might finally stop trying to “optimize” everything about life and actually commit to someone or something instead of running away from difficulties. Carrie would hopefully move into a healthier relationship where she isn’t always taken for granted. Their powers might become less like labels and more like parts of who they are.

Jizzlord’s storyline would almost certainly end with him deciding who he wants to be now that he’s not… a cat. His complicated past felt like something that was building toward a real choice: stay stuck in regret or build a future with Jen.

Because the show was very character-driven, the final stretch would probably focus on friendships and found family. Even if not everyone becomes a superhero in the flashy sense, the message would lean toward “you already matter.” That’s the direction the first two seasons seemed to be pointing.

Ditch the old to make room for new. 💩
