In “Extraordinary,” everyone over the age of 18 got their superpower a decade ago — expect for Jen, a self-aware 25-year-old woman, who is still waiting to get hers. Adrift in a confusing world and armed with nothing but a bit of hope and her flatmates, Jen begins her journey to find her maybe-superpower.

The show was created and penned by Moran, a rising writer whose credits include “Have I Got News for You.” Toby McDonald is set to direct the first half of the season, while Jennifer Sheridan will return for block two.

“Extraordinary” is executive produced by Sally Woodward Gentle, Lee Morris and Charles Dawson for Sid Gentle Films, the production company behind “Killing Eve”. Devereaux executive produced the series with Emma Moran. Producers are Charlie Palmer and Abíólá Rufai-Awójídé.

Disney+’s roster of U.K. original series include the romantic comedy action thriller “Wedding Season” and docuseries “Save Our Squad With David Beckham.”
