Netflix is diving into the workplace comedy!
The streamer is picked up a passed-over project NBC. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Netflix has handed out a straight-to-series order for Blockbuster, a workplace comedy from writer Vanessa Ramos with Randall Park set to star.
The ensemble comedy
takes place at the last Blockbuster Video in America, with the 10-episode series exploring what it takes — and who it takes — for a small business to succeed against all odds.
Ramos, whose credits also include NBC’s Superstore and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, created the series and will write scripts alongside David Caspe (Happy Endings, Black Monday) and Jackie Clarke (Happy Endings, Superstore).
