America Ferrera Is Leaving "Superstore" And Fans Are Worried About Amy And Jonah
Who's going to wear all those name tags now?
On Friday, America Ferrera announced that, after five years, she would be leaving the cast of Superstore.
She's portrayed Amy Sosa since the show first aired in 2015.
Me, right now:
In an Instagram post, she wrote, "The last five years on Superstore have been some of the most rewarding, enriching, and enjoyable years of my career."
"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."
"As I start the next chapter for my family and career, I wish only the best, and much continued success, to my beloved Superstore family," she concluded.
The 35-year-old actor, who is currently expecting her second child, not only stars on the show, but has directed several episodes.
She's also an executive producer on Netflix's new series, Gentefied.
Superstore was renewed for a sixth season, so it will continue without one of its biggest stars. In a touching post, Lauren Ash, who plays Dina, called America's exit "hard to accept" and said the show is "not gonna be the same without her."
America's surprise announcement has left many fans shocked, upset, and concerned for their favorite TV couple's future.
I’m so fucking devastated right now I know I’m being dramatic but superstore is my favorite show and amy is literally the heart of it and I just don’t know how to feal
#Superstore Damn i feel so bad for this show now because either they have Amy and Jonah get married and he leaves with her and u lose the 2 big characters ppl luv to watch or they break them up and watch the fandom lose there shit after all that build up either way u are faked
What about Amy & Jonah ???? #Superstore https://t.co/8sv8eX3476
Superstore without Amy? You’re fucking lying to me
We have devoted the last five years to the ship. And now it’s just going to go away. What is Jonah going to do? What’s going to happen Amy? Who’s going to manager? I kind of get it if there’s a seasons notice but five episodes?! THE FUCK #Superstore
#Superstore writers making Jonah and Amy interact and making us think that there’s going to be a proposal knowing full well this was going to happen:
if superstore even thinks of breaking up jonah and amy when america leaves
How am I supposed to survive without my sarcastic queen Amy? #Superstore
There's no official word yet on what America's exit will mean for Amy and Jonah's relationship. Maybe Amy will leave for some fancy management job at corporate and they'll do long distance. Or, maybe Jonah will leave with her. All I know is these two better not break up. Not an option!!!!
You can catch America's last episode during the season finale on April 16.
