Extraordinary: Q&A with Writer and Lead Talent

WFTV members are invited to this online Q&A with some of the team behind Extraordinary, the British superhero comedy television series from Disney+. The conversation will include writer and executive producer Emma Moran and lead cast Máiréad Tyers (Jen) and Sofia Oxenham (Carrie).

Welcome to a world where everyone over the age of 18 develops a superpower. Everyone except for 25-year-old Jen, who feels like she’s being left behind. Luckily, Jen’s flatmates – Carrie, Kash, and a mysterious stray – keep her from falling into a well of self-pity. Adrift in a big, confusing world, and armed with nothing but a bit of hope and a lot of desperation, Jen begins her journey to find her maybe-superpower. But in doing so, she might discover the joy of being just kind of ok.

There will be an opportunity to ask Emma, Máiréad and Sofia questions during the last 15 minutes of the session.

You can watch the trailer for Extraordinary here.
