Showtime's Removed 'Super Pumped' Heads To Netflix Next Month

Posted by on

 

(Former?) Showtime anthology series Super Pumped, subtitled The Battle For Uber for its inaugural season chronicling the rise of the ride-hailing app, will be headed to Netflix in the United States on October 4.

But why? Because the series, whose sole season thus far consisted of 7 episodes, was removed from Showtime not in the infamous June round that claimed Star Trek: Prodigy, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, among other originals and a heavy amount of Nickelodeon titles, but the late January/February 1 purge that took Kidding, On Becoming A God In Central Florida and Freevee-rescued American Rust off of Showtime, and Real World: Homecoming, the CBS All Access-born fourth iteration of The Twilight Zone, Interrogation, Coyote, No Activity, Guilty Party, The Harper House, and The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder off of Paramount+.

Based on the Mike Isaac novel of the same name and created by Brian Koppelman & David Levien, the season starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, alongside Mayor of Kingstown's Kyle Chandler as Bill Gurley, Scrubs's Kerry Bishé as Austin Geidt, Babak Tafti as Emil Michael, The Boys's Elisabeth Shue as Bobbie Kalanick, Uma Thurman as Arianna Huffington and is narrated by director Quentin Tarantino.

What made the removal so bizarre was on February 15, 2022 twelve days before the February 27 premiere, the series was renewed for a second season that turned it into the anthology series it's still anticipated to be. This time it would be with a focus on Facebook's origins covered by a different Isaac book, events previously told in the 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich that was adapted into David Fincher's The Social Network. The removal makes it very unclear as to whether it's still happening, even moreso than the dual strikes of the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA.

Currently, Shameless and The Comey Rule are the only other Showtime series on Netflix. Wherever removed Paramount+ or Showtime originals land, we will be the ones to tell you.
