As time passes so will the memory of the once beloved video rental store, Blockbuster. Once upon a time, this was the place where families would rush to every weekend to secure a copy of whatever the flavor of the week was. This was also a place where you would comprise. If the titles you were looking for weren’t available, you’d venture out and pick something else that maybe was not on your radar.
But alas as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. The rise of streaming services, specifically Netflix, caused the demise of Blockbuster. Now in an ironic twist, Netflix brings us a new series, Blockbuster. This series is brought to us by creator, executive producer, writer, and showrunner Vanessa Ramos. She has worked on such hit shows as Superstore and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
The series is set to be released this fall on the streaming service. To start teasing us, Netflix has released a synopsis, character descriptions, and first-look photos. You can check them out below!
Here is the synopsis for Netflix’s Blockbuster:
Timmy Yoon (Randall Park) Is an analog dreamer living in a 5G world. And after learning he is operating the last Blockbuster Video in America, Timmy and his staff employees (including his long-time crush, Eliza (Melissa Fumero) fight to stay relevant. The only way to succeed is to remind their community that they provide something big corporations can’t: human connection.
These are the character descriptions for Blockbuster:
