The Best Movies & Shows Coming to Netflix in Spring 20215 of 22
"Special" | Season 2 Premieres on Monday, April 12
Ryan O'Connell's semi-autobiographical show "Special" returns to Netflix two years after its Season 1 finale. The new season picks up one month later — Ryan's living on his own, grappling with writer's block, and still not speaking to his mom. There's good news: The 8 half-hour episodes will do right by Ryan's BFF Kim and give her a complete story arc. Now the bad: That's a wrap on the show, as Netflix nixed plans for a third and final season, though the early cancellation gave O'Connell the space to tell the stories he wanted to tell.
