Almost two weeks of the announcement that the show’s current sixth season would be its last, Deadline broke some better news yesterday about NBC developing a new spinoff: Bo & Cheyenne.
The series, which is currently in script development, is based around the couple as they “balance their big dreams with the harsh realities of being a blue-collar family in America.”
Cheyenne has been a staple in the Superstore cast, as she’s grown up with each passing season and juggled being a young mom for her daughter Harmonica. Bo, her husband, typically served as comedic relief on the show—between his white-rapper aspirations and getting hired at the Cloud 9 store. The pair’s Gen Z references might go over some viewers’ heads, but it makes them two of the funniest characters.
Superstore’s co-executive producers Bridget Kyle and Vicky Luu are also returning for Bo & Cheyenne, this time as the series’ writers.
The second half of Superstore’s final season starts on Jan. 14 with 11 final episodes, leaving a hopeful chance of lead character Amy (America Ferrera) to return—even for just a final (and better) resolution to the series.
