Season 1 of Netflix’s office comedy Blockbuster left a lot of loose ends, so it’s not certain whether the show will be picked up for a second season. Blockbuster, a show developed by Vanessa Ramos and starring Randall Park as Timmy and Melissa Fumero as Eliza, depicts the lives of the workers of the world’s last Blockbuster Video franchise location. The fate of Blockbuster is uncertain after the first season’s conclusion.
It is undeniably odd that a program like Blockbuster would premiere on Netflix, but the show is saved by its characters and the hilarious escapades they undergo to keep the company going. However, after seeing the season one conclusion of Blockbuster, viewers still have a lot of unanswered issues. It’s uncertain if Timmy would give up and allow the business to collapse following its damage, or whether his relationship with Eliza will advance after both of their previous attempts had failed. Blockbusters may be spared the fate of Netflix, which is notorious for terminating episodes before they have had a chance to wrap up their tales. Here’s all we know about Netflix’s potential second season of Blockbuster.
Blockbuster Season 2 Renewal Status
The streaming service has canceled the workplace comedy Blockbuster after its one season. This comes just six weeks after the first release of Season 1, which occurred on November 3.
Blockbuster Storyline
Blockbuster, Netflix’s newest original series, is a workplace comedy/drama. Timmy Yoon, the protagonist, has 5G connectivity as a goal in life. He plans to do all in his power, together with his surviving staff, to keep the video shop operating. As they develop their video OS, we are going to see how difficult it is for them to overcome any given setbacks. The show is modeled like a sitcom, so we can expect a lot of humorous moments. The importance of personal connections to business success and survival will be front and center in the bonds of friendship between these dedicated workers and Blockbuster.
Blockbuster season Cast and characters
- Randall Park as Timmy Yoon, the manager of the last operating Blockbuster Video store. He is a dreamer and a lover of films.
- Melissa Fumero as Eliza Walker, Timmy’s long-time crush and an employee at the store who works to afford her apartment after splitting with her husband
- Olga Merediz as Connie Serrano, an older employee of Blockbuster
- Tyler Alvarez as Carlos Herrera, a young employee at the store who dreams of being a director, much like Quentin Tarantino
- Madeleine Arthur as Hannah Hadman, a young employee of the store who is also Carlos’s friend
- J. B. Smoove as Percy Scott, Timmy’s best friend and the landlord of the strip mall the store is located in
- Kamaia Fairburn as Kayla Scott, Percy’s daughter who works at the store
- Leonard Robinson as Aaron Walker, Eliza’s husband

- Ashley Alexander as Mila
- Robyn Bradley as Miranda
- Bobby Moynihan as Stevie, a former child actor
Blockbuster Season 2 Expected Plot
If Blockbuster is picked up for a second season, there are plenty of storylines left open from the season one conclusion. Blockbuster Video looked like a department store after a Black Friday sale when a solar storm took down the internet and sent people scrambling for amusement. To what extent Timmy will thus attempt to save the business and his pals’ employment is a major open question. Even if he decides to pull himself up again, it’s unclear how the shop will recover from the loss of sales and inventory.
Eliza’s decision to leave her husband for real and her admission that she has a love for Timmy make their on-again, off-again relationship a strong candidate for the second season of Blockbuster. Similar chemistry was seen in Vanessa Ramos’s previous on-screen pairings, such as that of Jake Peralta and Amy Santiago in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and that of Amy Sosa and Jonah Simms in Superstore.
The characters, even the minor ones, are what make Blockbuster what it is, and it will be great to see more of their stories like Carlos and Hannah’s (Tyler Alvarez and Madeleine Arthur) mutually beneficial friendship, Connie and her search for a new best friend, and Percy and his troubled relationship with his daughter Kayla (J.B. Smoove and Kamaia Fairburn). The second season of Blockbuster may provide additional information about these people.
Blockbuster Season 2 Release Date Speculation
Netflix has decided not to air a second season of Blockbuster. In all honesty, the likelihood of Blockbuster getting picked up for a second season was always low. The show’s numbers weren’t amazing, and it got bad reviews from both reviewers and viewers. Fans of Blockbuster will be disappointed to learn that Netflix canceled the second season after little viewer demand.
Blockbuster Series Ratings
Season 1 of Blockbuster has been out for just a short while, and most viewers haven’t caught up yet, therefore the show’s ratings aren’t very high. The average audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is 42%, while critics have given the film a score of 21%. Only 68% of Google users have enjoyed this program, but the website Gadgets 360 gave it a dismal 1/5 stars.
Where can I watch Blockbuster?
Only on Netflix will you be able to watch the whole series, and there are many subscription plans to choose from. Netflix’s video quality and the number of screens you may use it on at once vary by subscription plan.
Blockbuster Season 1 Review
Aside from its share of stupidity and iffy parts, this show has charisma, the dynamic between the owner and the workers is excellent and one of the things I liked about it was that it was one of those shows that was relatable to a younger audience without trying too hard to appeal to that audience specifically.
The show’s portrayal of Carlos’s homosexual relationship is another plus; unlike most other sitcoms, which portray gay couples as strange and stereotyped, this one doesn’t go overboard with the subject matter. There are good and bad moments in this program, but it’s still entertaining to watch when you’re otherwise unoccupied. Don’t write it off just because some people had a bad experience with it.
