“Animal Control” – Season 2
Starring Joel Mchale (“Community”), Michael Rowland (“This Week at the Comedy Cellar”), Vella Lovell (“Crazy Ex-girlfriend”), Ravi Patel (“Master of None”) and more in a hilarious ensemble cast, the second season of “Animal Control” hits Hulu on Tuesday, March 7. Following a highly successful, 12-episode debut season, this sitcom returns to Fox, picking back up with the dedicated group of animal control workers who all agree on one thing: that animals are far easier to manage than humans. Centering around Frank (Mchale), a cynical and curmudgeonly former cop who has an almost superhuman ability to understand animals — but finds humans a mystery — Season 2 is set to heat things up as it “ushers in mating season — for both the animals and the officers who protect them” (per Fox). Created by Bob Fisher (“Sirens”), Rob Greenberg (“How I Met Your Mother”) and Dan Sterling (“The Last Man on Earth”), with Tad Quill (“Scrubs”) serving as showrunner, Season 2 features guest stars including “Ken Jeong [”The Masked Singer”] as expert (and unhinged) dog trainer Roman Park, Sarah Chalke [“Scrubs”] as Yazmin, a love interest from Frank’s past, and Krystal Smith [”Welcome to Flatch”] in the recurring role of Bettany, Emily’s [Lovell] tenacious, tough, sometimes frightening assistant” (Fox).
“Extraordinary” - Season 2
Learn to make the most of an ordinary life when Season 2 of “Extraordinary” premieres Wednesday, March 6, on Hulu. From creator Emma Moran (“Have I Got News for You”) and “Killing Eve” executive producers Lee Morris, Charles Dawson and Sally Woodward, the series is set in a universe where everyone over the age of 18 develops a unique superpower. Everyone, apparently, except Jen (Máiréad Tyers, “Belfast,” 2021), who, already in her mid-20s, feels like she’s been completely left behind while she waits for her own power. Now, the new season picks back up with Jen on her journey as she enrolls at the power clinic, hoping they can finally help her figure out what her elusive power is supposed to be. Meanwhile, her “ex-cat, now-boyfriend Jizzlord [Luke Rollason, “Jack,” 2021] has had an unexpected revelation about his past, and Kash [Bilal Hasna, “Layla,” 2024] and Carrie [Sofia Oxenham, “Poldark”] are attempting to be totally mature and dignified about their breakup, which is not easy when they’re still living under the same roof” (per Disney+). As Jen and her friends deal with the trials and tribulations of making it on their own as young adults, Jen continues trying to be OK with her ordinary self. Also starring Siobhán Mcsweeney (“Derry Girls”), Robbie Gee (“Snatch,” 2000), Julian Barratt (“The Mighty Boosh”), Rosa Robson (“Buffering”), Kwaku Mills (“The Trouble With Jessica,” 2024) and Derek Jacobi (“Murder on the Orient Express,” 2017), “Extraordinary” is directed by Toby Macdonald (“The Duchess”) and Jennifer Sheridan (“Rules of the Game”).
