Now this is something to sing about.
NBC has actually restored Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist for a 2nd season, giving an end our concerns that no news suggested problem.
The program, which follows a computer system developer called Zoey (Jane Levy) as she browses a brand-new extremely power that permits her to hear individuals’s ideas and feelings through tune, ended its very first season on a severe note as Zoey’s papa Mitch (Peter Gallagher) passed away after a fight with the neurological illness PSP. The last scene was a 7 minute one shot efficiency of “American Pie,” sung by the whole cast.
While it would have been a hell of a method to head out, it’s definitely the very best news to hear that there will be more.
When the ending aired, we spoke with developer Austin Winsberg about what follows. The program is motivated by his own dad’s fight with PSP, and we’ll be seeing how Zoey and her household discover themselves once again as they grieve.
“The question going forward for everybody in the family, especially for Zoey is, how do I move on? And what does life look like now that he’s gone? And how do we rebound and bounce back?” he informed us. “And I think a lot of the question, and this is clearly by accident, but I think these are questions that everybody’s going to be asking after being home in an isolation, everything we’ve been dealing with for the last few months, you know, how do we return to normal? What does normal look like? And how do I want to be in the world? What are the positive things that I could take away from this?”
“I think that with my own dad and with his passing and, in time, you know, getting over the just the grief and the sadness and anger about it kind of, find any positivity in it, and I think for me some of that positivity was finding compassion and empathy for others and trying to make my relationships with the people that are in my life better and trying to be more present and live in the moment because you never know what can happen,” Winsberg continued. “So I think these are all lessons and takeaways and things that the family and Zoey can learn from and where we can derive story from going forward too.”
