Despite a ratings decline last year, the Superstore TV was not cancelled. In fact, it got an early renewal. Now that the fourth season is upon us, can this quirky little show regain some of the audience it has lost, or at least hang in there until it has a good-sized syndication package? Will Superstore be cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An NBC sitcom, Superstore stars America Ferrera, Ben Feldman, Colton Dunn, Nico Santos, Nichole Bloom, Mark McKinney, and Lauren Ash. This comedy centers on the diverse employees at a super-sized megastore called Cloud 9. Amy (Ferrera) is the glue that holds the place together while newer hire Jonah (Feldman) wants to prove that work doesn’t have to be boring. From bright-eyed newbies and seen-it-all veterans to the clueless seasonal hires and the in-it-for-life managers, the crew tackles the day-to-day grind of rabid bargain hunters, riot-causing sales, and nap-worthy training sessions.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

For comparisons: The third season of Superstore averaged a 1.01 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.700 million viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Superstore TV series? Should NBC cancel or renew this TV show for a fifth season?
*3/4/19 update: NBC has renewed the Superstore series for a fifth season.
Sadly, Superstore needs to go. Season one was amusing, but it went down hill fast. Season two had a few funny episodes, but the past two seasons have been dismal. America Ferrera may be a good actress, but she is lousy in a comedy ensemble. The manager Glenn is just not funny at all, and the others are not more than background noise.
Yeah, you can tell from the ratings this season definitely dropped pretty low in viewership. I’ll bet the 5th is the last, the finale for the 4th were abysmally low on the last show!
I looked at it, and yeah, that’s really sad it didn’t even bring in 2 million people, on top of only .58 in the coveted 18-49 demo. This could very well be its final season, especially since it hits 100 episodes, making it a perfect syndication package.
