Let’s be real: Cloud 9 felt like home. Even if you’ve never worked a day in retail, there was something about the Superstore TV show cast that felt like your actual coworkers. You had the overachiever, the slacker, the intense boss, and that one person who definitely shouldn't be handling heavy machinery.
When the show wrapped up in 2021, it left a massive, blue-vest-shaped hole in our hearts. But honestly, the actors didn't just disappear into the warehouse. They’ve been busy. Like, "Emmy-nominations and blockbuster-movies" busy.
The Core Duo: Amy and Jonah’s Post-Store Life
If you were a fan, you know the heart of the show was the "will-they-won't-they" (and then they did, and then they didn't, and then they finally did) dynamic between Amy Sosa and Jonah Simms.
America Ferrera (Amy Sosa)
America Ferrera didn't just lead the show; she was a producer. When she left at the end of Season 5, fans were genuinely stressed. How could the store survive without its floor supervisor?
Well, she came back for the finale, and since then, her career has basically exploded. You probably saw her in the Barbie movie. Yeah, that monologue? The one everyone was talking about? That was our Amy. She’s also been doing big things behind the camera, focusing on producing and directing. Lately, she’s been tied to projects like The Lost Bus (2025), and she’s a massive advocate for human rights. Basically, she’s winning at life.
Ben Feldman (Jonah Simms)
Then there’s Ben Feldman. He played Jonah with that perfect mix of "I have a business degree" and "I have no idea what I’m doing." Ben has always been a bit of a TV chameleon. Before Cloud 9, he was the guy who cut off his nipple on Mad Men—if you know, you know.
Post-Superstore, Ben hasn’t slowed down. He’s been doing voice work for Monsters at Work and starred in the Australian series Population 11. He’s also popped up in Ghosts and Mayfair Witches. Fun fact: he also co-owns a wine label called Angelica Cellars. So, if you want to drink like Jonah (but probably fancier), now you can.
The Scene Stealers: Dina and Garrett
Honestly, the show would have been half as funny without the power struggle between Dina and, well, everyone.
Lauren Ash (Dina Fox)
Lauren Ash's Dina was legendary. The birds, the security obsession, the "I don’t care about your feelings" attitude. Lauren is a Canadian comedy powerhouse, and she’s kept that energy going.
She recently released her debut music album in late 2025! Seriously, she’s touring and everything. If you check out her music video for "Cool Story, Bro," you might even spot some familiar faces from the Superstore TV show cast. She also co-hosts a huge podcast called True Crime and Cocktails with her cousin. If you miss her voice, start there.
Colton Dunn (Garrett McNeill)
Garrett was the voice of the store. Literally. He did the announcements. Colton Dunn brought this effortless snark to the role that made him the most relatable person in the building.
Colton has been writing as much as acting. He worked on Jackass Forever and had a recurring gig on the comedy Pivoting. He’s a veteran of the improv scene, so he’s always popping up in guest spots where he can just be the funniest person in the room.
The Breakout Stars: Mateo, Cheyenne, and Sandra
The "lower-level" employees often had the highest-level comedy.
- Nico Santos (Mateo Liwanag): Nico’s portrayal of Mateo was groundbreaking. He was queer, undocumented, and unapologetically competitive. Since the show, Nico has been in Crazy Rich Asians and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. He’s a big deal now.
- Nichole Sakura (Cheyenne Thompson): Our favorite teen-mom-turned-manager. Nichole has been doing a ton of voice work for shows like Kiff and Central Park. She also starred in the movie Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain.
- Kaliko Kauahi (Sandra Kaluiokalani): Sandra went from a background character who barely spoke to a fan favorite. Kaliko is now a lead in the 2024/2025 medical comedy St. Denis Medical, which was created by Justin Spitzer (the same guy who made Superstore).
What Most People Get Wrong About the Cast
People often think the cast only became friends for the cameras. Nope. If you follow them on social media, they are actually still close. They show up for each other's premieres, they do "family dinners," and they clearly miss the Cloud 9 set as much as we do.
Mark McKinney (Glenn Sturgis)
We can't forget the man with the high-pitched voice and the heart of gold. Mark McKinney is a legend in the comedy world (ever hear of The Kids in the Hall?). After playing Glenn, he went back to his sketch comedy roots with the Kids in the Hall revival on Amazon. He also has his own show now called Mark McKinney Needs a Hobby.
Why the Cast Still Matters
The reason we keep searching for the Superstore TV show cast is simple: they represented us. They were the essential workers before "essential workers" was a buzzword. They showed the grit, the boredom, and the absolute absurdity of working for a giant corporation.
Next Steps for Superstore Fans:
- Check out St. Denis Medical: It’s the spiritual successor to Superstore, featuring Kaliko Kauahi and some of the same writers.
- Listen to True Crime and Cocktails: If you want to hear Lauren Ash (Dina) being her hilarious, unfiltered self.
- Rewatch the Finale: Seriously, it’s one of the best sitcom endings ever made. It actually gives you closure, which is rare these days.
