Hulu Sets a March Premiere for 'Extraordinary' Season 2

Mark your calendars: One of the best shows you've probably never seen is returning to Hulu this spring. The streamer has announced that the second season of award-winning, offbeat superhero comedy Extraordinary will return this March for another eight-episode run of occasionally raunchy humor and heartfelt truths about young adult life.

A superhero show for people who are tired of superhero shows, Extraordinary is set in a world where everyone develops a superpower when they turn 18. Most people use their abilities for a variety of mundane or everyday reasons (or have powers that are so ridiculous that they're barely even useful in the first place, like being able to turn anything into a PDF). The point is, seemingly extraordinary powers are now so commonplace that they're no longer all that big deal of a deal. Unless you're Jen, an underachiever from East London, who's managed to make it to her 25th birthday without any sort of abilities manifesting themslves at all.

Most of the series first season follows Jen's atttempts to discover her superpower, and deal with the awkard situations that arise because of the fact that she's normal in a world full of people that most decidedly aren't.  Primarily a coming of age story, we watch Jen and her friends struggle through all the familiar difficulties encountered by young people in their twenties, from romantic problems and career stagnation to shifting relationships with their parents. The only difference is that some of them can talk to the dead or rewind time.
