Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist is NBC's wholly original musical dramedy about a computer coder who, after an MRI mishap, suddenly starts to hear the innermost thoughts of the people around her, as imaginatively staged musical numbers that are only visible to her. Created by Austin Winsberg and choreographed by Emmy-winner Mandy Moore (La La Land), the series charmed critics and viewers alike following its debut in January and has been renewed for a second season. Zoey is blessed with a gifted ensemble of actors who expertly balance the show's dramatic, comedic, and often romantic story lines. Participating in the conversation with the creative team: Jane Levy (Zoey Clarke), Lauren Graham (Joan), Mary Steenburgen (Maggie), Peter Gallagher (Mitch), Skylar Astin (Max), Alex Newell (Mo), and John Clarence Stewart (Simon).

"It was truly a privilege and an honor to record a panel with the Paley Center for "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist." This is such a special cast and it was wonderful to see them all and hear them talk about the show - even virtually. Like the show itself, the panel was filled with laughter, warm feelings, and tears. Okay, the tears were mostly mine. And honestly - I'm fine with it," said Austin Winsberg.

The public can view these programs for free by subscribing to the Paley Center's Youtube channel.
