Is Jonah leaving Superstore too?

Ben Feldman spent five seasons of Superstore so far playing Jonah as he developed from a reluctant Cloud 9 employee to someone in a serious romantic relationship. As it turns out, the Superstore showrunners Gabe Miller and Jonathan Green originally had a different vision for Jonah as far back as the Season 1 final, and the whole show would have changed. Neither the makers nor the actor have revealed his exit from the show.

The makers revealed to CinemaBlend that one thing early on they had talked about was why someone like Jonah would stay at the store. “Was it just for Amy? Was there something else?” They added that at one point, there was an idea that for the Season 1 finale, they would start at Cloud 9 corporate and wonder “why they are there”. They would always wonder “what are we doing?” and then fans would see Jonah walk in and reveal that he was a corporate spy infiltrating a Cloud 9 store to report on union activity. They added that it would have been a very different show.
