Star and exec producer America Ferrera announced she is leaving the NBC comedy at the close of this season (April 16), even though the show has been renewed for 2020-21.

This is sad. I like Superstore and America Ferrera. Wishing her the best and that the show continues to be funny.

Try this scenario as to a possible replacement;

On Thursday’s episode, Cloud 9 employees were faced with learning a new company app, and one of those items on it was an audiobook about Zephra’s (their corporate owners) CEO. Which turned into a voice cameo by Emily Deschanel, formerly of Bones.

Maybe the show can negotiate with Deschanel for an on-screen role next season. It’s unclear if she will be a part of season 5 of TNT’S Animal Kingdom as of now.

I’ve only seen up to episode 10 of S5 so far. I’m guessing with America leaving that the show will incorporate it as Amy will leave to take the job that Justina Machado offered her at corporate.

Wish it would go on for a season or two! 🙁
I hope the show is rewarded sometime down the line as a farewell nod I guess!? Oh, and I hope America Ferrera comes back for its final few episodes.

FYC: "The Crown", "Ted Lasso", "Pen15" in all categories. Maya Erskine ("Pen15"), John Early ("Search Party"), America Ferrera ("Superstore"), Emma Corrin ("The Crown"), Justin Hartley, Michael Angarano, Phylicia Rashad, Griffin Dunne, Jennifer C. Holmes ("This Is Us") & Billie Piper ("I Hate Suzie").

The ensemble is so strong and I was hoping it would get another season. However, America was the star and anchor, and it always seemed unlikely it would survive the already modest ratings. I hope America returns for a few episodes at the end of the season, but it seems unlikely as not enough time would have passed between her characters impactful decision to leave. I’ve always been fond of the writing and acting of this show and I’m expecting them to stick the bittersweet ending.
