Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist Star Skylar Astin on The Beginning of Max and Zoey’s Relationship
63[Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Season 2, Episode 12, "Zoey's Extraordinary Session."]
Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist Season 1 was such an entertaining and heartening success that I couldn’t help but wonder, how are they possibly going to raise the bar and keep the concept fresh in a second season? As we near the release of the Season 2 finale episode, “Zoey’s Extraordinary Goodbye,” it’s a thrill to say that Austin Winsberg and the wizards behind the show found many ways to keep the magic and charm going full force. Not only does Zoey’s Playlist continue to be an especially poignant piece of entertainment, but it’s also taken great care to use its stellar high concept to best serve the characters, ensuring they continue to grow every step of the way.
Skylar Astin’s Max has been through quite a lot this season. He’s gone from jobless to co-owner of a successful new restaurant, and also from finally getting into the beginnings of a relationship with Zoey (Jane Levy) to reconnecting with an old friend (Katie Findlay), sparking a connection with her and committing to move to the east coast together. With every step forward the show takes, we learn more about Max and watch as he faces new challenges. But, Episode 12 proved that we also needed to look back to really put Max as an individual and his relationship with Zoey into perspective.
With the Season 2 finale of Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist airing tonight on NBC at 9/8c, Astin joined us for an extended interview to discuss what happens in this upcoming episode and to look back on Max’s journey getting there. We’ll have the spoiler-filled discussion with Astin on Episode 13, “Zoey’s Extraordinary Goodbye,” for you tomorrow, but right now we’re putting the focus on the previous episodes including that game-changing flashback “Zoey’s Extraordinary Session.”
Hear all about it in this first half of our chat with Astin!
