If you’re a fan of The Neighborhood, the lack of a proper season finale is bound to be a bummer, but it could be worse. The Neighborhood isn’t a heavily serialized show. It doesn’t have long-running plotlines that need to be wrapped up or cliffhangers to resolve. As such, the penultimate episode of the season is probably just as good a place to leave things as any.
Not every production interrupted by the coronavirus outbreak is as lucky. As Deadline points out, NBC’s Superstore is in a similar situation, but the stakes on that show are much higher. Not only does Superstore get better reviews than The Neighborhood, but lead actress America Ferrera and her $10 million smile are set to leave the series after the current season.
Presumably, the fifth season finale was going to be Ferrera’s big send-off. Without it, it remains to be seen exactly how store 1217 will explain Amy Sosa’s absence when Superstore returns for its already-announced sixth season. Hopefully, Superstore‘s can talk Ferrera into making one last cameo. She’s been Superstore‘s headliner for five years. She deserves a real farewell.
