The cast of Disney Plus’ latest original Extraordinary explained a scene involving a dog and a strip club almost didn’t make the final cut.

Consider us intrigued!

The supernatural comedy starring Máiréad Tyers, Sofia Oxenham and Derry Girls icon Siobhan McSweeney follows 25-year-old Jen desperately wishing for her own superpower so she can fit in with her mystical crowd.

Ahead of the show’s release, Metro.co.uk spoke to Máiréad, (Jen) Sofia, (Carrie) Bilal Hasna (Kash) and Luke Rollason (Jizzlord) about a particular montage that sparked a back and forth between the writers.

In one of the episodes, the gang spontaneously decide to treat their beloved pooch Bear to a fun day out, however the production team were torn over the location choice.

‘There was this one sequence that kept changing. So in the final version, we take a dog to a strip club. It was like a montage,’ said actor Luke.

‘The writer would write something, and the team would get it back and be like “okay so theme park… interesting, that might be quite expensive,”‘ he added.

‘And they kept going back and forth. It was meant to be the dog’s dream of a perfect day out, at one point we had a meat fight, and I was like ‘it’s not going to stay in is it “‘

He continued: ‘Then it was back to strip club again, and that was actually my favourite day of filming was the strip club day.’

Sounds like a blast!

All episodes are available to stream on Disney Plus (Picture: Disney Plus)

The official synopsis for the series reads: ‘Adrift in a big, confusing world and armed with nothing but a bit of hope, a lot of desperation and her flatmates, Jen begins her journey to find her maybe-superpower.’

For context, Jen is surrounded by where one can change their hair colour with a snap, and another can turn back time, even the cats are blessed with a power…and poor Jen has nothing.
