An award-winning comedy with glowing reviews and ratings will soon be free to stream in full.
Extraordinary is a British sitcom centered around a 25 year old woman, Jen, who is yet to find her superpower in a world where everyone finds theirs at 18.
The show is currently only available to watch on Disney+ and stars Máiréad Tyers as Jen and Sofia Oxenham as her flat mate Carrie.
The streaming platform announced last month that it was cancelling the comedy after two seasons.
However, fans are in luck as Extraordinary will soon be available to stream on ITVX from February 12.
Viewers have spoken highly about the comedy on social media, and according to The Sun, one fan posted: ‘One of the best new shows I’ve seen – binged season 1 and 2 in less than a 3 days. I highly recommend this amazing British sci-fi comedy.’

The popular comedy has proved to be a great success and received a perfect 100% score in Rotten Tomatoes.
Some fans took to the review site to share their verdicts and one described it as a ‘gem’.
They posted: ‘I’m so happy to have found this gem!!!’
Another raved: ‘This show brings such a hopefulness to those who don’t have it all figured out yet. I found myself relating to every character on some level. I absolutely loved this show, and I’m so sad to hear of its cancellation.’
While someone else said: ‘While this is in some ways a take on people with superpowers, the strength of this show lies in its take on growing up, fitting in and finding yourself.
‘The superpowers are an extremely funny second string in this underrated comedy.’
A fourth chimed in: ‘Brilliant! Really need it to continue! I binged both of the seasons like mad. All of the characters are so relatable in their own way.
‘They’re all a bit clumsy, and I love how the show normalizes being awkward and unperfect, and still worth all the love in the world. Really a show that people need in this success driven world. I love it!’

Actress Máiréad, who stars as Jen, praised the show’s ‘hilarious’ script and said: ‘I don’t often laugh out loud reading scripts or reading books or anything like that but this was laugh out loud.
‘Obviously, the scripts go through many edits, but every time that we’d get a script change there would still be new material that was just as funny.’
However, not everyone is a fan of the comedy and one viewer wrote on Rotten Tomatoes: ‘Very average, cringe at times. Not a great story. Boring.’
Someone else said: ‘I thought at first it would be more funny… I laughed once. And it’s weird, the clothing, the music but then the technology… I don’t get which year we are in.’
The show moving to ITVX may come as a pleasant surprise to fans who were left devastated when it was announced the show would be removed from Disney+.
Some fans took to X to express their disappointment at the time.
Viewers have posted their feelings about the show online, including their reviews as well as their thoughts when Disney+ announced it’s cancellation
One posted: ‘I’m a week late but… I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY CANCELLED EXTRAORDINARY!
‘IT IS ONE OF DISNEY+’S BEST ORIGINALS! TAKE IT BACK IMMEDIATELY.’
While someone else chimed in: ‘I can’t believe extraordinary has been cancelled, it is such a good show, the character arcs, the perfectly balanced comedic and emotional moments.
‘This one hurts. And the cliffhanger as well. Why can’t they let us have nice things?????’
