It wouldn’t be the holidays without a little music!

In a Christmas miracle, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist is being revived with a new two-hour movie on the Roku Channel. Titled Zoey’s Extraordinary Christmas, the holiday special reunites the cast of the recently cancelled NBC musical-comedy series.

Richard Shephard, who directed the pilot for Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, will direct the Christmas special.

The show follows Jane Levy’s Zoey, who after an MRI gone awry, can suddenly hear the soundtrack of people’s lives; their innermost thoughts set to a Beatles song, a Whitney Houston ballad or a Katy Perry number. The Christmas special takes place after the death of Zoey’s father in Season 1, as she tries to bring her family and friends together for one Extraordinary Christmas.
