NBC Sets March 25 for Superstore Finale; Search Party Renewed for 5th Season
NBC's Superstore will be closing the doors of Cloud 9 with a one-hour series finale on Thursday, March 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Prior to the finale, beginning Thursday, March 4, originals will move to 8:00pm ET/PT followed by repeats of Young Rock at 8:30pm ET/PT through March 18. As mentioned before, Mr. Mayor wraps up its first season run on Feb. 25 at 8pm after 9 episodes. Through its own comedic lens, Superstore has consistently examined many of the country's most topical issues, including health care, immigration, unionization, the plight of the retail worker and many more. The comedy reached more than 37 million viewers last season, has consistently been one of NBC's strongest comedies. Executive producers Justin Spitzer, Gabe Miller and Jonathan Green last year renewed their overall deals with Universal Television. Spitzer is continuing with his relationship with NBC with his pilot American Auto. Executive producers David Bernad and Ruben Fleischer currently serve as EP's on UTV's The Bold Type on Freeform. Superstore is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Spitzer Holding Company, Miller Green Broadcasting and The District.
HBO Max has picked up Max Original Search Party for a fifth season and signed the series' showrunners Charles Rogers and Sarah-Violet Bliss to a two-year overall deal to develop new programming for the streamer. Search Party stars Alia Shawkat, John Reynolds, John Early and Meredith Hagner. The first three seasons followed best friends Dory (Shawkat), Drew (Reynolds), Elliott (Early) and Portia (Hagner) through a messy private investigation, semi-accidental murder, absurd cover-up and sensational trial. In season four, Dory was held prisoner by her psychotic stalker Chip (Cole Escola), forcing Drew, Elliott and Portia to once again become a search party – but this time, for Dory. The comedy series, known for its trenchant satire of millennial culture, has a series 97% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. The first two seasons aired on TBS before the series moved to HBO Max for seasons three and four. The first episode of Search Party season four is currently available to stream for free on HBO Max and the HBO Max website.
