Ferrera’s character Amy Sosa, a manager at Cloud 9, had been there from the start, starring in the first five seasons before announcing her surprising departure in February 2020, just days after the show was renewed for the sixth season.
‘The last five years on Superstore have been some of the most rewarding, enriching and enjoyable years of my career,” the actress said in a statement.
‘Producing, directing and acting with this wonderful cast and crew has given me opportunities to grow as a person and storyteller. I’m so grateful to my partners at NBC and Universal Television for the support and belief they have always placed in the show, and I’m most thankful to the brilliant Justin Spitzer for creating the funny, smart and relevant world of Superstore and inviting me to be a part of it,’ she added.
