Mary Steenburgen to Star in New Musical Series for NBC

Mary Steenburgen has signed on to star in the upcoming show Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, a new pilot being developed by NBC.

The beloved actress will play the mom of Jane Levy‘s character, the title character of the show.

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist is described as an “innovative musical dramedy about a whip-smart but socially awkward girl in her late 20’s who is suddenly able to hear the innermost thoughts of people around her as songs and even big musical numbers that they perform just for her. With this new ability at her disposal, she is able to use her ‘gift’ to not only help herself understand people in her life, but also to help others around her.”

Skylar Astin will play Zoey’s co-worker and best friend while Alex Newell will play her neighbor.
