A quarter life crisis isn't easy without superpowers in the Extraordinary trailer
Extraordinary, the new London-set comedy series, hits Hulu next month
We’re all familiar with stories about twentysomethings caught adrift in life, working dead-end jobs and going on disastrous dates while their peers seem to effortlessly find their dream careers and long-term relationships. In the new Hulu series Extraordinary, being a late bloomer gets compounded by not having superpowers for Jen (Máiréad Tyers).
In the world of the London-set comedy, everyone is supposed to get a special ability on their 18th birthday. At 25, Jen still has yet to discover enhanced strength, flight, or the ability to manipulate water. She works in a party supply store and has her ambitions for more thwarted when faced with a hiring manager who can make her accurately confess her greatest weaknesses in the show’s new trailer.
As Jen goes on a quest to activate her power, she’s joined by her flatmates: longtime bestie Carrie (Sofia Oxenham) and Carrie’s boyfriend Kash (Bilal Hasna). It also turns out that they don’t share their home with a cat, but instead a shapeshifter who has a particular aversion to dogs.
