NBC RENEWS SUPERSTORE FOR FIFTH SEASON

(March 4, 2019) — NBC has renewed its critically applauded comedy SUPERSTORE for a fifth season. Season four to date is averaging a 1.4 rating in adults 18-49 and 4.4 million viewers overall in “live plus seven day” Nielsens in the highly competitive Thursday 8-8:30 p.m. timeslot versus such rival programming as “The Big Bang Theory,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and NFL “Thursday Night Football.” Delayed viewing boosts “Superstore’s” next-day 0.85 rating in adults 18-49 by +154% to a 2.16 after seven days of linear and digital viewership.

SUPERSTORE is one of the most potent digital performers on the NBC schedule, deriving 44% of its “live plus seven day plus digital” rating in adults 18-49 from non-linear sources, the second biggest percentage on the NBC schedule behind only “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.”

“Week after week Justin Spitzer, our amazing writers, and cast and crew masterfully deliver a comedy that not only makes us laugh but speaks to the larger issues of the day,” said Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta, Co-Presidents of Scripted Programming, NBC Entertainment.

About Superstore

America Ferrera (“Ugly Betty”) and Ben Feldman (“Mad Men,” “A to Z”) star on the hilarious workplace comedy “Superstore,” about a unique family of employees at a supersized megastore. SUPERSTORE centers around Amy (Ferrera), the store’s most stalwart employee as well as the glue holding the place together, and Jonah (Feldman), a dreamer determined to prove work doesn’t have to be boring. Their fellow associates include the sardonic Garrett (Colton Dunn, “Key & Peele”), sweet teenager Cheyenne (Nichole Bloom, “Shameless”), and the ambitious Mateo (Nico Santos, “Crazy Rich Asians”). Overseeing the store is Glenn (Mark McKinney, “The Kids in the Hall”), the store’s affable, clueless store manager, and Dina (Lauren Ash, “Super Fun Night”), the aggressive assistant manager who enforces Cloud 9 policy with an iron fist.

From the bright-eyed newbies and the seen-it-all veterans to the clueless seasonal hires and the in-it-for-life managers, together they tackle the day-to-day grind of rabid bargain hunters, riot-causing sales and nap-worthy training sessions. SUPERSTORE was created by Justin Spitzer (“The Office”), who serves as an executive producer with director Ruben Fleischer (“Gangster Squad”), David Bernad (“Enlightened”), Gabe Miller & Jonathan Green (“The Office”) and Jackie Clarke (“Marry Me”).

SUPERSTORE returns to the NBC lineup this Thursday, March 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Episode 410 “Cloud 9 Academy” Synopsis: Amy and Cheyenne attend Cloud 9 Academy to advance their careers. Dina and Garrett get roped into babysitting Glenn’s daughter while he childproofs his office, and Jonah and Mateo become political activists.

SUPERSTORE was created by Justin Spitzer, who serves as an executive producer with director Ruben Fleischer, David Bernad, Gabe Miller & Jonathan Green and Jackie Clarke. SUPERSTORE is produced by Universal Television in association with the Spitzer Holding Company and The District.
