Blockbuster looks set to find itself consigned to the annals of history at the hands of Netflix for a second time, as the streamer has cancelled the new Randall Park-headlined workplace comedy after a single season.
Created by showrunner Vanessa Ramos, Blockbuster saw Park as Timmy Y0on, who runs the last Blockbuster Video in America. – along with his employees Melissa Fumero, Tyler Alvarez, Madeleine Arthur, Olga Merediz, JB Smoove, and Kamaia Fairburn – fights to stay relevent when they discover they are the last Blockbuster Video standing in America.
Netflix doesn’t release viewing figures as standard, but the show failed to make any impact in the streamer’s weekly Top 10 following its premiere back on November 3rd, and so its cancellation is not entirely unexpected.
Timmy Yoon (Randall Park) Is an analog dreamer living in a 5G world. And after learning he is operating the last Blockbuster Video in America, Timmy and his staff employees (including his long time crush, Eliza (Melissa Fumero) fight to stay relevant. The only way to succeed is to remind their community that they provide something big corporations can’t: human connection.
The first – and only – season of Blockbuster is streaming now on Netflix.
