NBC has ordered a second season of musical dramedy "Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist" starring Jane Levy. We hear the order is for 13 episodes.

A co-production between Lionsgate TV and Universal TV, the series had been considered the strongest contender among NBC’s bubble shows this season. It has a passionate following and recently topped USA Today’s annual Save Our Shows poll with record support.




"Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist" has been a digital phenom with huge online/social media following whose very modest Live+Same Day linear ratings are dwarfed by its delayed multi-platform numbers.

It is one of NBC’s strongest digital performers, with digital sources generating more than half its 35-day viewership in the 18-49 demo.




“We were overwhelmed by the number of people who fell in love with Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and how much joy it brought to everyone,” said Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta, Co-Presidents of Scripted Programming, NBC Entertainment.

“We’re thrilled to bring it back and can’t wait to see how Zoey’s journey continues.”

“I think that it’s very easy to get into the mythology of it all and like, ‘Why her? Why the powers? How did it happen?'” creator Austin Winsberg tells TVLine. “I just think that there are a lot of mythology questions that could be asked.”
