After its NBC cancelation in June, 'Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist' is back as a Christmas movie, with the possibility of future stories.

That cancelation, amid Emmy noms and critical acclaim, “was such a gutpunch,” Winsberg said, “and I really kind of mourned it when it happened. The show is so personal to me that the concept of it being gone I couldn’t even wrap my head around.”

Star Skylar Astin added that after the news that the show would end with season two, “it felt like it ended too soon and I think the fans really felt that. We didn’t manipulate a cliffhanger, that’s where the story was leading us, and it felt unresolved.” And now cut to the Christmas movie, which follows Zoey and her family’s first holiday after her father , has died. “When we got this opportunity to do a holiday movie [it] was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a whole new world that we can do,” Winsberg said, taking on Christmas songs for the first time while also incorporating some of the relationship storylines he had planned for season three.

And though the movie was originally proposed as a way to close out the series, there are hopes among the cast and writers that the story continues in some form. “I definitely have thoughts of places we could go; I also have thoughts of other movie versions,” Winsberg says, and after experimenting with a long-term format, “I feel like oh, movies are actually kind of fun, so maybe we should be doing more movies instead of just doing the show some more. If they’re open for more, I’m open for more.”Zoey’s Extraordinary Kiwi Adventure in New Zealand with Max,”Added Winsberg, “If this is the end, I feel grateful that we got this chance.
