The 'Extraordinary' Season 2 Trailer Promises Everyone a Fresh Start

Despite widespread reports of superhero fatigue across the pop culture landscape, the genre is still occasionally capable of real surprises. One such gem is Hulu's Extraordinary, the offbeat coming-of-age comedy series that is perhaps best described as a superhero show for people who are tired of superhero shows.

Set in a world where everyone manifests a superpower when they turn 18, Extraordinary is a superhero story that remembers what so much of the larger comic book genre has forgotten: That the powers were never the point. It follows the story of twenty-five-year-old Jen, who has still yet to develop any kind of special ability at all and is struggling to figure out what her lack of one says about her and her place in the world.

Hulu has dropped the first trailer for Season 2 of this wildly underrated superhero comedy, and if this first footage is anything to go by, the series' return is going to be as irreverent, raunchy, and heartfelt as ever. The clip, which repeatedly promises new chapters and fresh starts for its characters, hints at the big changes that are in store for all the show's major players in its second season, as Jen begins treatment at the powers clinic that's meant to help her dormant ability surface, her roommates Kash and Carrie attempt to navigate a mostly amicable break-up that allows them all to still stay friends, and Jizzlord, former cat turned Jen's amnesiac boyfriend, discovers that just because he's forgotten the life he once lived doesn't mean that remnants of it aren't still there.
