Happy Valley and Top Boy shared the BAFTA love on Sunday night at the British Academy’s prestigious Television Awards in London’s Royal Festival Hall.
Sarah Lancashire took home the top prize for her performance in Sally Wainwright’s Yorkshire-based police thriller, and fellow Briton Timothy Spall beat Succession‘s Brian Cox to win the equivalent award, best leading actor, for The Sixth Commandment – which also won two BAFTAs.
Jasmine Jobson claimed the best supporting actress prize for her role in drug-gang drama Top Boy, which also went on to win best drama. Matthew Macfadyen was the only winner for Jesse Armstrong’s hugely popular black satirical comedy, winning the award for best supporting actor in Succession.

Today, there are so many superhero movies and TV shows that the genre as a whole needs a rethink and a new approach. Peacemaker, The Boys, Gen V and Invincible have already ironically and brutally poked fun at the absurdity of superheroes.
About a year ago, Emma Moran from Northern Ireland wrote a script for a typical sitcom about young friends in London, submitted it to a competition and won. Then, quite unexpectedly for the debutant, the series was ordered by Disney+ and a superhero topic was added.
Even before the premiere of the first season, the project was renewed for a second season. Extraordinary was 2023’s biggest comedy gem and deservedly received a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

When it comes to keeping the momentum for storytelling, writers from hit shows such as True Detective: Night Country, Irish hit dramedy Faithless and British superhero comedy Extraordinary all have different approaches for making returnable television series.
Speaking at the inaugural screenwriting festival Storyhouse in Dublin, Irish writer-actor and presenter Baz Ashmawy spoke about his debut writing project Faithless, a six-part series for Virgin Media, which follows an Irish-Egyptian dad who is presented with the life-changing responsibility of raising his three young daughters alone.
“I was more clear on the tone of it because I saw a gap in Irish shows that were either sitcoms pre watershed or crime dramas,” said Ashmawy to a packed theatre at Dublin’s Light House cinema. “I saw there was a hole for dramedy – to make someone laugh one minute and then upset them in the next scene.

Supacell is a British superhero series heading to Netflix in June from Rapman, and here’s the trailer.
While America generally has the monopoly on superhero films, Britain has had its fair share of caped crusaders over the years.
The most recent example is Emma Moran’s Extraordinary, which is now available to watch on Itvx. From 2009 to 2013, Howard Overman achieved huge success with five series of irreverent comedy drama Misfits. Drew Pearce, who went on to co-write Iron Man 3 with Shane Black, began his career writing the little seen superhero sitcom No Heroics in 2008.
Perhaps the biggest shame, though, is that the film adaptation of clasic 1970s cartoon Bananaman, which was voiced by Bill Oddie, Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden, also known as The Goodies, never materialised, though a stage musical premiered at the Southwark Playhouse in 2017.

Extraordinary returns to Disney+ with a second season, and to mark this joyous occasion, we had the pleasure in speaking to two of the show’s leading stars, Bilal Hasna, and Sofia Oxenham.
We speak about the tonal triumph of the show, and the genius of Emma Moran, while they also talk about what it’s like for actors to receive new scripts, and return for a second outing. We also talk about some of the show’s supporting stars, such as Olivia Marcus. You’ll see why.
Watch the full interview with Bilal Hasna & Sofia Oxenham here:
Synopsis
Season 2 follows Jen on her powers journey as she enrols as a client at the Clinic, but quickly discovers that the process isn’t as easy as she’d hoped. Things with ex-cat, now boyfriend Jizzlord aren’t smooth sailing either: with Jizz’s ex-wife and son now back in the picture,...

Superhero fatigue can’t keep Extraordinary down — it actually makes the Hulu comedy even more potent. The 2023 series, which was created by Emma Moran, started off taking the piss out of high-flying stories about crime fighters by presenting a world in which powers like invisibility, shape-shifting, and communing with the dead are as commonplace as brown eyes and unattached earlobes. So are financial woes, anxiety, and relationship struggles. Turns out, having superpowered beings on every corner doesn’t automatically make the world a better place. Even so, as one of the few people without any such abilities, Jen (Máiréad Tyers) is positive her life would be better if she could turn back time or multiply herself.

Máiréad Tyers’ first on-screen role straight out of drama school was in Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast.” “You don’t really see me in the film at all,” she says. “[But] I’m so proud of it.” A year later, she wrapped her first leading role in U.K. Disney+ original comedy “Extraordinary.” In the show — basically a flatshare sitcom with a twist — Tyers plays 20-something Jen, who is messy, funny and the only person in the world without a superpower.
But Jen can also be selfish and occasionally obnoxious – mostly to her flatmates Carrie (Sofia Oxenham), Kash (Bilal Hasna) and, erm, Jizzlord (Luke Rollason) — and Tyers’ superpower is making her not just relatable, but likeable. So much so that the show, which was created and written by newcomer Emma Moran, has been renewed for a second season, which drops today on Disney+ and on Hulu in the U.S.

You know what’s Extraordinary? How instantly addictive Hulu‘s raunchy and really smart Britcom is. Season 2 of the hilarious tale set in a world where most folks develop superpowers by the age of 18 returns tomorrow with Gen Z’er Jen (Máiréad Tyers) still not showing any special skills. Of course, she’s got a bigger problem to deal with now that her shapeshifting new beau (Luke Rollason)—who spent three years trapped in the body of a cat—has run into family he doesn’t even remember having. And it’s only going to get crazier from there. “I think because we set up quite a juicy cliffhanger, it was actually quite easy to [plot this season],” says series creator Emma Moran, who sat down with Tyers and costar Sofia Oxenham last month in Pasadena, as you can see in the video above. “It sort of felt like in a way you...

Disney+ has released the trailer for the highly anticipated second season of the award-winning comedy ‘Extraordinary.’
Season two picks up where season one spectacularly left off, following Jen (Máiréad Tyers) on her powers journey as she enrols as a client at the power clinic. Jen soon discovers that the process of finding her power isn’t as easy as she hoped, and things in the rest of her life aren’t smooth sailing either. Ex-cat, now-boyfriend Jizzlord (Luke Rollason) has had an unexpected revelation about his past, and Kash (Bilal Hasna) and Carrie (Sofia Oxenham) are attempting to be totally mature and dignified about their break-up, which is not easy when they’re still living under the same roof. It seems that Jen and the gang are dealing with new levels of adulting and chaos that none of them are prepared for.

Take a look at the first trailer for Extraordinary season 2.
The old cast from season two are joined by new additions Julian Barratt as George, Jen’s power coach at the Discovery Clinic; Rosa Robson as Nora, an unexpected person from Jizzlord’s past; Kwaku Mills as Clark, Carrie’s new work colleague; and Derek Jacobi, who will voice a special cameo role.

FX-produced Hulu series Under the Banner of Heaven, starring Andrew Garfield, and season 1 of British comedy series Extraordinary are set to come to U.K. TV giant ITV’s streamer Itvx in 2024 under a deal with Disney Entertainment.
ITV said on Thursday that Under the Banner of Heaven will stream on Itvx, with Extraordinary airing on both Itvx and ITV2. Both will launch in the first half of next year.
The news comes as Disney, led by CEO Bob Iger, has started looking for additional revenue by licensing some shows instead of keeping them exclusively for its own streaming services.

Exclusive: The TV pilot scheme that unearthed Disney+ hit Extraordinary is launching a funded development slate to help shepherd projects without agency representation from script to screen.
From this year, the best scripts from the Thousand Films and Grey Seal Media program will make their way onto the in-house slate, with Thousand signing former Knight Hall agent Katie Langridge to spearhead the drive.
Charles Dawson’s Thousand and advisor Grey Seal’s program launched in 2019 for UK and Irish scripts from up-and-coming writers, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds. Emma Moran’s Extraordinary, which launched on Disney+ in January and has already been recommissioned, is the most high-profile to come from the program.
Thousand Films accepts scripts from all writers without agency representation, but has established a ‘benchmark’ reading process, in which new writers’ work is blindly assessed alongside a sample of professional writers’ scripts. Since launch, it has shortlisted writers...

Exclusive: Independent Talent, the talent agency that boasts Jodie Comer and Bill Nighy among its clients, has revealed that it made £7.3M ($9M) selling its stake in Killing Eve producer Sid Gentle Films.
Independent Talent was an early investor in Sid Gentle, holding a 22.05% stake in the production outfit until last October, when BBC Studios took full control of the company.
Financial details of the BBC Studios deal were not disclosed at the time, but a financial filing by Independent Talent on UK Companies House has lifted the lid on the transaction.
Independent Talent pocketed £7.3M from the sale of its take, valuing Sid Gentle at £33.1M following the Emmy-winning success of Killing Eve.
BBC Studios owned 51% of Sid Gentle prior to last year’s deal, meaning it will have paid around £16M for the remaining 49% it did not previously own.
Since the transaction, Sid Gentle has gone on to...

Not that long ago, the Disney Channel meant kids’ cartoons and shows about toothy pre-teens with crossover pop careers. Now, Disney+ (Hulu in the US) has a comedy series featuring a character named Jizzlord, and nothing means anything anymore. The term ‘Disney Adult’ may currently describe the kind of person who gets married in a Prince Eric wig on a cruise ship, but if this trend continues, we’re going to need it back.

Disney+ has handed a second season order to Extraordinary – the superhero series from up-and-coming writer Emma Moran and Killing Eve producer Sid Gentle – two days prior to first season launch.
The news was announced at the Extraordinary launch last night in London by Disney VP Scripted Content Johanna Devereaux.
Extraordinary launches later this week and follows Jen, a painfully self-aware 25-year-old woman who doesn’t have a superpower in a world where everyone else does. Adrift in a big, confusing world and armed with nothing but a bit of hope, Jen begins her journey to find her maybe-superpower.
Up-and-comer Máiréad Tyers leads alongside a cast including Sofia Oxenham, Bilal Hasna, Luke Rollason, Siobhán McSweeney and Patricia Allison.
The show is testament to the way in which Disney+ international originals mix younger talent with established names. Moran is an up-and-comer with a show on a slate featuring the likes of Sally Wainwright,...

“Extraordinary” could have been an anthology. The first season of the show spans eight episodes, and each contains the kind of possibility that could make them standalones. It’s a new comedy that takes place in a world where pretty much everyone has a superpower. There are people who can scale walls, walk through walls, fly above walls, lift up walls, or do other fantastical things that don’t involve walls.
After more than a handful of years past the mark when people get their power, Jen (Máiréad Tyers) is still waiting for hers. She’s romantically frustrated, treading water at her retail gig, and staring down the last of her mid-20s with not a lot to show for them. When she’s not gripped by anxiety about being the only “normal” adult she knows, she spends a good chunk amount of time with roommate Carrie (Sofia Oxenham), who...

BBC Studios has taken full control of Killing Eve producer Sid Gentle Films, unveiled on day one of Mipcom.
The BBC’s commercial production-distribution arm already owned 51 of the business following a 2018 deal and has now snapped up the remaining shares.
Sid Gentle is best known for BBC America thriller drama Killing Eve, but is also behind long-running ITV drama The Durrells, SS-gb for BBC One and UKTV and AMC’s Ragdoll among others, and is currently in post-production on Rain Dogs, which Cash Carraway wrote for the BBC and HBO, and Emma Moran Disney+ comedy Extraordinary. The company was founded in 2013 by Sally Woodward Gentle, Lee Morris and Henrietta Colvin.
BBC Studios already wholly owns Lookout Point, Clerkenwell Films, and House Productions and is the controlling shareholder in Baby Cow. It also took the remaining shares in Wilderness producer Firebird Pictures earlier this month, as it deepens its investment in premium scripted companies.
BBC Studios CEO Tom Fussell was in Cannes this morning delivering a keynote, where he said: “Led by Sally Woodward Gentle and Lee Morris, Sid Gentle is home to unmissable returning hits. Best known for BAFTA, Emmy and Golden Globe-winning Killing Eve, the future slate is just as exciting.”
In a statement, Woodward Gentle, CEO of Sid Gentle, said: “We couldn’t be more delighted to continue our journey with BBC Studios. They have been the most supportive, collaborative and creative partner. It is an honor to work with the most wonderful team at Sid and to feel a shared ambition and outlook with BBC Studios.”
Mark Linsey heads to LA
Fussell also announced Managing Director For Scripted, Mark Linsey, is relocating from London to LA to “place him geographically closer to key global content decision makers as BBC Studios seeks to build further co-production, investment and commissioning opportunities for its scripted offer.”
Linsey is BBC Studios most senior scripted exec, having taken on his current role in a restructure earlier this year. His current role gives him oversight of the firm’s UK-based teams including Doctor Who producer BBC Studios Drama Productions, EastEnders and Casualty maker BBC Studios Continuing Drama Series and Good Omens and Trying division BBC Studios Comedy Productions, alongside its wholly owned and controlled scripted labels, scripted indie minority shareholdings and distribution relationships.
He’ll retain those duties and continue to report to BBC Studios Productions CEO Ralph Lee. Additionally, he’ll now work closely with both Janet Brown, BBC Studios’ newly appointed President of Content Distribution for North America and Latin America, and Valerie Bruce, General Manager and leader of BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions, and their teams, to grow BBC Studios’ presence.
“Under the leadership of Mark Linsey, previously BBC Director of Television and BBC Studios Chief Creative Officer, we are investing in the UK’s most exciting talent and creative labels,” Fussell told Mipcom delegates. “I am thrilled to share today that Mark will relocate from London to LA to grow further BBC Studios’ commitment to the West Coast and our shared creative ambition.”
“Taking our world-class portfolio of labels and units direct to the heart of the world’s largest English language scripted market is a natural next step,” said Linsey. “I look forward to working closer than ever with US based colleagues and customers to fund and create unique new series for the world to enjoy.”...

Good news for prospective writers and producers across Europe, with Disney+ revealing today the extent of its ambition when it comes to original programming in the region, aiming for a staggering 50 productions each year by 2024.
