Looks like the grand reopening tat Cloud 9 will have a slight delay.
On Thursday, NBC has announced that Superstore, which was originally scheduled to kick off its sixth season on Thursday, October 22, will now return a week later on October 29.
Also announcing that its new social distanced comedy Connecting will now premiere on Thursday, October 8 at 8/7c, before sliding to 8:30/7:30c timeslot upon Superstore's return.
It was last week that America Ferrera, who had announced her departure from the sitcom, has signed on to appear in not one, but two seasons six episodes. The result that the series' milestone 100th episode (set to air on Nov. 5) will double as Ferrera's swan song.
"There was so much we wanted to explore with COVID and how it changes the world of Cloud 9 that we decided to focus on that in the premiere, with Amy starting her new job remotely while still trying to manage the store," co-showrunners Jonathan Green and Gabe Miller told TVLine. "The second episode will cover Amy's last day at Cloud 9, so we can fully give her the sendoff she deserves."
This isn't the first announcement of scheduling moves at NBC, on Wednesday the network announced that This Is Us Season Five will be moved up by two weeks to October 27th.
I don't see this as a big deal. I'm just looking forward to seeing the Cloud 9 back again.
