Jane Levy says Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist's cancelation came as a shock, but she's grateful for a show that provided escapism during the pandemic

Vanity Fair

“Last Friday it seemed like it was a green light. And then Monday morning it was a red light," Levy told Vanity Fair last Thursday, adding: “Honestly, the main feeling I have is gratitude. I feel like I did everything that I wanted to with this show. If it’s over, I don’t have any regrets. I gave it my all and so did everybody else.” Levy also noted that many fans have written her crediting the show with helping them deal with grief, especially since it premiered just two months before the pandemic. “The show and the pandemic are intrinsically linked for me,” Levy said. “Our show is about connection and empathy and community and grief. These are all the themes that we’re dealing with globally.” ALSO: Levy slams NBC for its schedule full of "shows about crime and guns" when "our show is about love."
