May 2024 · 3 minute read

Superheroes… there are so many of them, right? Some would argue that the caped crusaders sub-genre is far too saturated these days. However, just as many audiences would take a stand against such an argument, citing efforts like The Boys and The Batman as examples of doing something unique and helping the genre evolve.

While Marvel has become synonymous with comedy, infusing it into most of its movies and shows, it never takes prevalence over drama.

Well, a new show called Extraordinary ensures that the laughs are a top priority while also commenting on the saturation of suits.

Created by Emma Moran, the British production premiered with episodes on Disney+ and Hulu on Wednesday, January 25th 2023.

With audiences making quick work of the new installments, let’s contemplate whether the Extraordinary show has season 2 locked in already.

Is Extraordinary officially renewed for season 2?

Yes, it has already been announced that Extraordinary has been renewed for season 2, with new episodes greenlit on Monday, January 26th 2023, Deadline reports.

Considering that season 2 was ordered before the first even premiered, it’s clear that there is serious confidence in the series’ potential to perform across the remainder of January and February.

The first season introduced us to Jen Biggins, beginning her journey to discover what may be her superpower, all while she navigates the issue of everybody around her already having established what theirs is.

It’s a hilarious tale that tackles themes of alienation and belonging with humor and imagination.

‘You don’t have to have anything to offer’

The show’s creator was recently interviewed by Stylist and opened up about what she took from her own life to inspire the series:

“It’s more inspiration from the feeling. OK, I’ve probably talked to some woman that’s been like ludicrously beautiful and she’s said she’s not worn make-up [like a woman with the power to shapeshift in the show]. And I guess when I was writing it I really did feel the way that Jen does in the show.”

She continued: “I don’t feel like that anymore, or I still do a little bit… I think the point of the show is understanding that you don’t owe anyone, that you don’t have to have anything to offer, that you’re just OK. And that’s fine: you’ve got your friends, your family – just have fun. You don’t have to be the best at things.”
