Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist is an American musical comedy-drama television series created by Austin Winsberg that premiered on January 7, 2020, on NBC. The series stars Jane Levy as Zoey Clarke, a software developer who discovers she has the ability to hear the innermost thoughts of people as songs. Each episode features multiple song-and-dance numbers that develop the storyline, with each cast member singing their own character's songs.[1] The series also stars Skylar Astin, Alex Newell, John Clarence Stewart, Peter Gallagher, Mary Steenburgen, Lauren Graham, Andrew Leeds, Alice Lee, Michael Thomas Grant and Kapil Talwalkar, and Bernadette Peters. In June 2020, the series was renewed for a second season which premiered on January 5, 2021.[2][3] In June 2021, the series was canceled by NBC after two seasons.[4]

In September 2021, it was announced that streaming service The Roku Channel officially commissioned a two-hour holiday film, which if successful, could lead to more episodes.[5][6] The film was released on December 1, 2021.[7] In addition to songs performed on Zoey's Extraordinary Christmas, a second original song for this series was composed — "North Star", written by Mary Steenburgen, Caitlyn Smith and Troy Verges and sung by Tori Kelly, and played during the end credit sequence.[8]

An earthquake during the procedure alters her brain patterns so she can now essentially read minds as people begin "singing" their private thoughts and feelings to her. She uses her power to emotionally connect with a hurting co-worker, Simon, whom she has a crush on, though she later learns that he is engaged. Later, her gift allows her to communicate with her father for the first time in months. Zoey organizes a sailing trip to lift her father's spirits, and takes charge at work in dealing with a system software bug. This impresses her boss, Joan, who agrees to give her the promotion. When she tells some of this to her close friend Max, her gift reveals that he has been secretly in love with her.

26 "Zoey's Extraordinary Christmas" Richard Shepard Story by: Austin Winsberg and Sam Laybourne and Samantha McIntyre
Teleplay by: Austin Winsberg		 December 1, 2021 (2021-12-01)
Having shared Zoey's powers for two weeks, Max thinks using them to help people is easy. Zoey considers how to spend her first Christmas without her father. David and Maggie both plan vacations away from San Francisco, and Max is surprised that Zoey gives her blessing after singing a resentful heart song. Zoey's coworkers downplay their holiday plans, but a heart song reveals they are all thrilled to spend time with family. After Max suggests they also leave town, Zoey admits she wants to preserve Mitch's traditions at home instead, and she persuades her family to agree. When a heart song reveals Maggie's attraction to tree-lot owner Jack, Zoey discusses it with Maggie, who feels unready to date; but Max invites Jack to Christmas dinner. Maggie and Jack share a kiss under the mistletoe, shocking Zoey. After Jack accidentally breaks a snowglobe Mitch treasured, the family's sad heart song leaves Max in tears. A dream of Mitch tells Zoey that he will always be with her, even if she creates new holiday traditions and allows her life to change. Max apologizes for never considering the burden presented by Zoey's powers. She concludes that he received the powers in order to experience that empathy, and he suggests she got them so she would engage with the world. They share a heart song, but then Max becomes unable to hear it anymore; both are at peace with this. At Mitch's grave, Maggie decides to find herself before dating again. A law school rival's gloating Christmas newsletter irks David and Emily. They create a fake newsletter of their own to send in reply. After Zoey questions their motives, Emily is touched when David writes a letter authentically sharing the challenges of the previous year. They then agree to send the fake one. Simon visits his mother and new stepfather in Las Vegas, and gives Zoey a souvenir snowglobe. Perry encourages Mo to become involved in his children's lives. But after Mo makes himself the star of Amira's holiday pageant, Perry explains that it was meant to be a chance for the children to shine. Mo gives Amirah the first performance slot at his "Christmas Carol-oke" event at MaxiMo's, which the Clarke family attends. Later on, Max apologizes to Zoey for not understanding the burden the powers put on Zoey. His newfound empathy results in his losing the powers, in response to which Zoey says that if he wants to know what she’s thinking or feeling, he can just ask her about it.
