Superstore to End with Season 6

Well, it looks like Cloud 9 will be out of business.

On Thursday, NBC has announced that Superstore will conclude at the end of its current sixth season. The final 11 episodes will begin airing Thursday, Jan. 14th in a new time slot at 8:30/7:30c, where it now follow the Ted Danson led comedy, Mr. Mayor. 

"We're grateful to universal Television and NBC for letting us make 113 episodes of a show we're so proud of, and for giving us the chance to work with such an incredibly talented group of actors, writers, and crew," said executive producers Justin Spitzer, Gabe Miller and Jonathan Green in a statement. "We're thankful most of all to the viewers who've stuck with us for the past six years (or discovered us somewhere along the way). We'll do our best to go out strong and give you the satisfying ending you deserve."

NBCUniversal scripted content president Lisa Katz said in a statement, "Superstore has always been a signature NBC series that has never failed to make us laugh while also thoughtfully examing important issues people care deeply about. This has been an amazing group of writers, producers, actors, and crew to work with and we are both incredibly grateful for all their contributions. This show will forever hold its place among the top workplace comedies for which we have cherished history."

The end-date announcement comes just weeks after original series star America Ferrera exited the series. In her farewell speech to the cast, the actress indicated that she was open to the idea of reprising her role as Amy before the series' eventful conclusion.

Well, this is one way to kick off the holiday season, I guess. Wow! I'm a bit shocked to have read the news that Superstore would be ending after this season. I would have thought they give the series maybe another year or so. But maybe the writings were on the wall with America leaving and the new time slot change that it's time for the show to end. 

I understand that you must be upset and mad, but here's a bright side to things, the show has lasted six seasons. Not a lot of comedies last six seasons and gives a proper ending.

I think that the best to end the series is to bring back Amy and give her and Jonah a final send-off: or maybe have Amy come back because she misses being around her Cloud 9 family. Whatever it is, I'm sure they're gonna give us one hell of an ending.
