Netflix releases trailer for the second and final season of Special
The first official trailer for Special’s second (and final) season has arrived.
The two-minute teaser shows our beloved lead character, Ryan Hayes (played by Ryan O’Connell), attempting to get his life back on track after his explosive argument with his mother Karen (Jessica Hecht) two months prior.
Ryan’s conflict with Karen results in a case of writer’s block, which lands him in “hot water” with his boss Olivia (Marla Mindelle).
“Enter Tanner, a fun, flirty dance instructor who charms Ryan despite not being totally available. When his writer’s block eventually lifts, he’s inspired to write a longform piece about disability,” the season two synopsis reads.
