The show stars Jane Levy, Skylar Astin, Aliex Newells, John Clarence Stewart, Peter Gallagher, Mary Steenburgen and special guest star Lauren Graham.
Levy plans Zoey Clarke, who discovers she can hear what people around her want through songs.
"We’re delighted to partner with E4 in bringing our beloved drama to the UK,” said Agapy Kapouranis, president of international television and digital distribution at Lionsgate. “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist is a joyful, smart and empowering drama unlike anything else on television. The series grapples with important themes of empathy and human connection that I’m sure will strike a chord with audiences.”
Lionsgate has been showing off Zoey at MIPCOM.
