Blockbuster is the latest Netflix show to face cancelation. The workplace comedy starring Melissa Fumero and Randall Park has been axed after only one season on the streaming service.

The show follows Timmy Yoon (Park) and his employees as they fight to keep the last Blockbuster Video store in the United States open. Season one ended on a bit of a cliffhanger as the fate of the shop was left hanging in the balance.

However, show creator Vanessa Ramos explained to Entertainment Weekly that she wasn’t going to plan what happened next until they were renewed. "Until we get a season 2, I don't let myself dream a bit," she said. "When I first did this, I was like, 'I'm doing development,' and everybody I talked to, they're like, 'Oh, no one gets it on their first try. There's no world where this show gets made.'"
