SUPERSTORE ended season 4 with its darkest twist yet, as Mateo (Nico Santos)—whose undocumented status was first brought up in the special episode, “Olympics,” prior to season 2 starting—was taken by ICE.
“Listen, I was sobbing when I read it,” Lauren Ash (Dina) admits. “America [Ferrera (Amy)] and I both burst into tears. [I thought] there’s no way they’re going to do this, there’s no way they’re going to let us do this. And then they did, which I think is awesome.” (SUPERSTORE’s Ben Feldman shared photographic proof of Ash and Ferrera’s post-reading reaction.)

Comments Off on SUPERSTORE: America Ferrera on Directing ‘Sandra’s Fight’
America Ferrera steps behind the camera (again) for the first SUPERSTORE episode airing on Thursday, May 16 (at 8/7c; the season 4 finale airs at 8:30/7:30), and it is a little extra special for the actress-director: her former on-screen sisters guest star.
Ana Ortiz, who co-starred with Ferrera on UGLY BETTY, plays Claudia in “Sandra’s Fight,” a Cloud 9 higher up who has a big role in Store #1217’s future. MADTV’s Anjelah Johnson, who co-starred in the 2010 film OUR FAMILY WEDDING with Ferrera, guest stars as Robin, a labor organizer who talks with the employees about potentially unionizing.
“It was just so much fun to invite my sisters to come and play,” Ferrera shared, in the video below, before SUPERSTORE’s recent Paley Center panel. “They were brilliant and easy…we laughed and had so much fun.”

Comments Off on SUPERSTORE: The Cast Teases a Season Finale Twist
SUPERSTORE ends its fourth season on Thursday, May 16 with a powerful two-episode block.
In the first episode, “Sandra’s Fight,” the employees debate unionizing. In the second, the comedy delivers another huge season closer.
“I had pretty much decided at the beginning of the season that we had done big, crazy climactic finales every year now, and why do we do that?” executive producer Justin Spitzer previously teased. “We write ourselves into a corner, [so I thought] we’re not going to do that this year. And then we got to there and we decided to do it again. [There is] some crazy stuff happening that will shock a lot of people.”
So what the heck is happening? Before the show’s recent Paley Center panel, series stars America Ferrera, Ben Feldman, Lauren Ash, and Mark McKinney give their best teases… Read more

Comments Off on The SUPERSTORE Cast Teases Tension with Cloud 9’s Big Bosses
As SUPERSTORE’s fourth season winds down, new Cloud 9 manager Amy (America Ferrera) finds herself backed into a corner when she’s forced to cut her employees’ hours.
“She’s in a very different position now,” Ferrera shared (in the video below) prior to the show’s Paley Center panel. “She’s expected to play on corporate’s team a little bit. But also, she has more to lose. She’s now a manager with a great salary. She’s coming up in her life and her career and it feels good. All of a sudden, the stakes are higher for her. And also the responsibility to keep things afloat for everybody…a big gist of the last couple of episodes will be her navigating those sort of split loyalties.”
