TV shows with micro-episodes are steadily gaining popularity. Netflix has recently seen success with Between Father and Son, a Mexican thriller that was quick to climb the platform’s charts. Now, a brand-new sitcom shows similar potential.
Minimum Wage amassed 2.4 million views last week, making it one of the most-watched titles on the service. Could this mean that a follow-up is on the way? Here’s what we know so far.
Minimum Wage Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, there’s no official news about Minimum Wage season 2.
That said, reports suggest that Netflix has given the show a 28-episode order, and only 14 have been released so far. Whether the remaining ones would act as a second season, we don’t know yet. If they do, they might land on streaming in a few months.

What Is Minimum Wage About?
Minimum Wage is based on the popular social-media comedy shorts from American High. A workplace comedy, it centres on a chaotic group of teenagers who works at a pizzeria called The Slice Club.
They have to juggle school, awkward romances, petty arguments, ridiculous pranks, and customers who test their patience. At the same time, they struggle to keep the restaurant running while earning little.
See, owner Mr. Sylvester visits the restaurant to decide whether he should keep it open or sell. As a result, Grace, one of the more responsible members of the team, tries to keep her colleagues in line despite their questionable work ethic.
All episodes are short and manage to poke fun at various teenage growing pains, while also highlighting the absurdities of working a low-paying job. If you want a lighthearted, funny watch, the show goes down smoothly.
By the time the 14 available episodes wrap up, New Year’s Eve delivers romantic complications. Minimum Wage season 2 would likely pick up from there, following the teens as they deal with the fallout. If they manage to keep their jobs, even better. We’re eager to see how it goes.
