America Ferrera leaving Superstore after current season

February 28, 2020 by EJ Moreno

Variety is reporting that America Ferrera’s run on the hit NBC show, Superstore, is coming to a close. After being with the show since its launch, serving as executive producer and director of multiple episodes, she will leave the show after its current season.

“The last five years on Superstore have been some of the most rewarding, enriching and enjoyable years of my career,” Ferrera said. “Producing, directing and acting with this wonderful cast and crew has given me opportunities to grow as a person and storyteller. I’m so grateful to my partners at NBC and Universal Television for the support and belief they have always placed in the show, and I’m most thankful to the brilliant Justin Spitzer for creating the funny, smart and relevant world of ‘Superstore’ and inviting me to be a part of it. As I start the next chapter for my family and career, I wish only the best, and much continued success, to my beloved Superstore family.”

This news comes just over two weeks after it was announced that NBC was renewing the show for a sixth season. She will remain on the show as an executive producer, no word on her returning as a director.

“America is a force of nature who not only pours her heart and soul into acting and producing on Superstore, but into the many causes and initiatives she supports,” Pearlena Igbokwe, president of Universal Television, added. “Over the last five seasons she has earned our gratitude and respect.”

Superstore airs Thursday nights at 8 pm, on NBC.
