Super-abled or not, 'Extraordinary' fans are reeling from the news: Disney+ has cancelled the British superhero comedy after just two seasons. The show, which followed Jen as she navigated a world where everyone developed superpowers… except her, garnered critical acclaim for its fresh take on the genre and its relatable portrayal of millennial anxieties.
While Disney+ hasn't released official reasoning, speculation points to a combination of factors. Viewership numbers might not have met expectations, and cost-cutting measures across the platform could have played a role. Despite positive reviews, 'Extraordinary' possibly struggled to break into the mainstream and achieve the widespread popularity of other superhero offerings.
The cancellation leaves several plot threads unresolved, leaving fans wondering what might have been. While a third season seems unlikely, hope remains for a potential revival on another platform, perhaps with a passionate streaming service looking for a unique and critically-acclaimed series. For now, though, it's a super-bummer for 'Extraordinary' fans.
