The critically acclaimed sitcom Jonah and Amy's love story, to Dina and Glenn co-managing the store, and even the feud between Sandra and Carol. The show is filled with storylines and plot points for audiences to get hooked on and keep watching.
This increase in popularity is the exact reason that the show deserves some kind of continuation, whether it's a reboot or a spin-off, there is always more story to be told. Although the original story has come to an end, with America Ferrera returning to portray the role of Amy Sosa in the last two episodes, however, there the ending of the show has left the possibility for a spin-off series or reboot open to be centered around Dina and Sandra working together as the management team of a new Cloud 9 Fulfillment center.
America Ferrera Didn't Expect Superstore Return To Happen So Soon
Superstore star America Ferrera, who left the series last year, didn't expect to return as Amy so soon, but she'll be back for the series finale.
Why Superstore Needs A Reboot Or Spin-Off 3 Years After It Ended
Since The Show Ended, It Has Become A Lot More Popular
There are a lot of reasons that Superstore deserves another series, whether that is a continuation, a reboot, or a spin-off. A main one being the increase in popularity since the show came to an end. Once the show had ended in America, it was brought over to the UK, airing on ITV2 and available to stream on Netflix. This has led to the show becoming increasingly popular in the UK, and this popularity has spread around the world, making the show more popular today than it ever was when it was airing on US television.
Audience who enjoyed the summer blockbuster would feel inclined to watch more titles starring America Ferrera, such as Superstore.
As well as this, it is important to take into the popularity of the leading actor and producer of the show, America Ferrera. America Ferrera has become a household name over the past year due to Barbie. Audience who enjoyed the summer blockbuster would feel inclined to watch more titles starring America Ferrera, such as Superstore, making the sitcom even more popular than it was when it was on air, and in desperate need of some kind of continuation to cater to this audience popularity.
What A Superstore Reboot Would Look Like After Season 6
The Nature Of The Show Means That The Main Character Is The Store, Not The Characters
The great thing about a show like Superstore is that the main character of the show is the store itself, rather than the characters that work there. That being said, it'd be possible to create a hard reboot of the show, set in a completely different Cloud 9 store with a brand-new workforce. However, to get the attention of the loyal viewers, this isn't the best idea, as the audience has watched the show for the storylines and the characters, so if there weren't any of the original characters in the show, audiences would be less likely to watch it.
A reboot would not be able to rip away the happy endings and achievements the original show's ending gave to Jonah, Amy and Dina.
With this in mind, it would be possible to create a soft reboot, where a few of the audience's favorite floor workers from the show's original run, such as Sandra, Carol, Justine and Marcus could be main characters in the reboot, working in a new Cloud 9 store alongside a group of brand-new characters. Either way, a reboot would not be able to rip away the happy endings and achievements the original show's ending gave to Jonah, Amy, and Dina, as it would make the audience upset and lose faith in the show runners.
A Superstore Spin-Off Centered On Dina Would Also Work
The Original Show's Ending Opened Up The Best Possible Idea For A Spin-Off
In the final episode of Superstore, when all the stores were being shut down, Dina was given a manager's position in one of Cloud 9's Fulfillment Centers. In addition to her job role, she was allowed to take a few workers with her, so she took Marcus, Justine and Sandra (as her assistant manager). This plot point leaves the show open to a possible spin-off, starring Dina and the three workers she took with her, working together in the fulfillment center. This spin-off could actually be a hit with audiences, too, as Dina and Sandra are two of the audience favorite characters in the show.
Even though a spin-off starring Dina and Sandra working together would be comedy-gold, if none of these ideas are used as a reboot or spin-off show in the future, the recent rating figures as well as the ratings on sites such as Rotten Tomato indicate that Superstore deserves some kind of continuation series to offer to the new audience and following the series has gained since the show's final episode aired.
