What to know about Randall Park’s new Netflix comedy TV show
Minimum Wage follows teenagers trying to keep a local pizzeria running while balancing school and their low-paying jobs. They face hectic rushes, demanding managers, and the daily pressures of restaurant work. The series mines their everyday struggles for comedy and may appeal to fans of workplace sitcoms such as The Office.
Netflix released the first 14 episodes on October 26, 2026, with the series ordered for 28 episodes. The series retains the fast-paced style of the original Minimum Wage digital shorts, launched by American High in May 2024. According to Netflix Tudum, the original shorts have amassed more than 30 million views across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.
The new show brings back performers from the original digital series, including Aidan Micho, Grace Reiter, Hyde Healy, Julia DiCesare, Luke Burke, Ryan Micho, and Tommy Armstrong. It is produced by American High, the company behind the original shorts.
Jeremy Garelick and Will Phelps serve as showrunners, writers, and executive producers, while Axelle Azoulay also executive-produces the series. Garelick’s comedy credits include The Break-Up, The Wedding Ringer, and The Hangover. For this series, the team shifts its attention from a traditional office to the unpredictable world of restaurant work.
The show’s mockumentary format and short episodes set it apart from longer workplace sitcoms. Its teenage characters juggle workplace pressures with school and personal problems.
All 14 episodes are available to stream on Netflix.
