Why Was Superstore Canceled?
The decision to end super store after its sixth season was a creative one made by the show’s producers and network executives.

NBC announced the cancellation of super store in December 2020, stating that it was a difficult decision but that they wanted to give the show the opportunity to end on its own terms.
While super store had a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim, the decision to end the show may have also been influenced by declining ratings in its later seasons.
