Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist

NBC is bringing more song and dance to the network with the season two renewal of its critically acclaimed and buzzworthy new series Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. The series centers on Zoey Clarke, a whip-smart computer coder forging her way in San Francisco. After an unusual event, Zoey, who always preferred podcasts over pop songs, suddenly starts to hear the innermost wants, thoughts and desires of the people around her - her family, co-workers and complete strangers - through popular songs. At first, she questions her own sanity, but after getting some guidance from her musically adept neighbor, Mo, and making a breakthrough with her ailing father, Zoey soon realizes this unwanted curse may just be an incredibly wonderful gift as she connects with the world like never before. The series stars Jane Levy, Skylar Astin, Alex Newell, John Clarence Stewart, with Peter Gallagher and Mary Steenburgen. Lauren Graham is special guest star.

Meanwhile, NBC has officially canceled comedy Perfect Harmony and called it quits on crime drama Lincoln Rhyme. No word yet on freshman sitcom Indebted and second year drama Manifest, but the latter is expected to be picked up for a third season. NBC and ABC still have not announced a formal fall schedule, but ABC has announced pickups and renewals. NBC previously announced straight to series orders for Young Rock and Mr. Mayor, along with Canadian drama import Transplant.
