News about Melissa Fumero

Following a weak first viewing hour show, Netflix will not renew its comedy series Blockbuster for a second season. According to Deadline, Netflix assigns a score to its shows based on the number of hours watched, and executives were less captivated when the show was introduced on November 3. Given that it is a comedy, it is not surprising that the episodes are about half the length of a normal drama series.

It flourished in the 1980s and 1990s, but by 2014, Blockbuster had shut down the last of its corporate owned stores. Just one in Bend, Oregon, is still on the job. And now, a new Netflix comedy is following the fictional lives of employees employed by the film rental chain's 'last remaining store'. The blockbuster, named Blockbuster, was announced on November 3, and it stars Fresh Off the Boat's Randall Park as store manager Timmy Yoon and Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Melissa Fumero as his long-time crush Eliza.
