‘Blockbuster’: See Randall Park & Melissa Fumero in Netflix’s Workplace Comedy

Get ready to be kind and rewind as Netflix takes viewers back to Blockbuster in its upcoming comedy starring Fresh Off the Boat‘s Randall Park and Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s Melissa Fumero.

The streamer is giving viewers a first look at the workplace comedy that takes place in the last Blockbuster Video in America. The show explores what it takes – and more specifically who it takes – to keep a small business like theirs succeeding against the odds.

After leaving Harvard after one semester to start a family, Eliza’s life didn’t go exactly as planned and with her marriage to her high school sweetheart on the rocks, there’s a lot of uncertainty in the air. Despite the differences that she, Timmy, and Blockbuster’s other employees might have, they make one fun team.
