The Specials
“They're not incredible, they're just special.”
ComedyFantasyScience FictionAction
America's seventh best superhero team, the Specials, are a group of geeks and oddballs. Lifelong fan Nightbird joins the group just in time for the group to get a new line of action figures. But the members' extreme personalities and personal issues threaten to rip the group apart.
VIBE
A low-stakes, character-driven comedy about a team of C-list superheroes. It's a charmingly awkward and funny look at the everyday struggles of being a less-than-superhero, filled with quirky humor and relatable insecurities.
