\u201cExtraordinary<\/a>\u201d is set in a world where everyone develops a power on their 18th<\/sup> birthday\u2026 everyone, that is, except for Jen. <\/strong>She\u2019s turning 25 and is still waiting to get hers. She\u2019s not even fussy about what that could be: super speed? Laser eyes? The ability to plug in a USB the right way every single time? She\u2019ll take it. Like a caterpillar surrounded by butterflies, Jen feels unable to move forward, stuck in a dead-end job in a party shop and occasionally hooking up with Luke, a flaky young man with the irritatingly cool ability to fly. Luckily, Jen has Carrie <\/strong>to stop her from wallowing in her own self-pity. Inseparable since school, their relationship cycles between sister, parent, and wingman. Together they share an East London flat with Carrie\u2019s long-term boyfriend, Kash<\/strong>. Carrie has the power to channel the dead but feels she\u2019s been overshadowed by her own party trick: doesn\u2019t anyone care about what she has to say? Kash takes his power \u2013 the ability to turn back time \u2013 very seriously, but he\u2019s not above using it to undo minor embarrassments, or moments when he says exactly the wrong thing to long-suffering Carrie. The fourth member of the flat is a stray cat who\u2019s harbouring a surprising secret: turns out even cats have more power than Jen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExtraordinary\u201d is led by a cast of rising UK talent, including M\u00e1ir\u00e9ad Tyers (Jen), Sofia Oxenham (Carrie), Bilal Hasna (Kash), and Luke Rollason (Jizzlord). Additional cast members include Siobhan McSweeney (Jen\u2019s mum, Mary), Robbie Gee (Jen\u2019s stepdad, Ian), Safia Oakley-Green (Jen\u2019s half-sister, Andy), and Ned Porteous (Luke).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExtraordinary\u201d is executive produced by Sally Woodward Gentle, Lee Morris and Charles Dawson for Sid Gentle Films, the BAFTA, Golden Globe, Emmy, and Peabody Award-winning production company behind \u201cKilling Eve\u201d.
