What is happening in the Minimum Wage trailer?
Minimum Wage is a workplace comedy series set in a local pizza shop. The official series logline reads, “An overwhelmed group of teenagers struggle to run a local pizzeria while juggling school, a manic boss, and their minimum wage salaries. The stakes are low, and the pressure is immense.”
The series is shot in a mockumentary style similar to The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Abbott Elementary. The trailer introduces the employees of The Slice Club pizza place and their shenanigans as they navigate through their daily mundane workday. While their boss contemplates selling the place, the employees vow to convince him that it is worth saving. The preview showcases the series’ comedic moments and the camaraderie among its employees.
American High founder Jeremy Garelick and Will Phelps serve as showrunners and executive producers of Minimum Wage. “The cast of American High Shorts shot the original sketches on their phones, in an abandoned high school. Now they’re series regulars on Netflix,” they explained in a statement. Garelick and Phelps further added, “That’s the American High model. Find the funniest kids in the room, hand them the keys, and get out of the way. We’re making coming-of-age comedies in the spirit of John Hughes for the generation that grew up on a screen, and we’re honored Netflix is letting us do it at this scale.”
Besides Randall Park, Minimum Wage stars Aidan Micho, Grace Reiter, Hyde Healy, Julia Dicesare, Luke Burke, Ryan Micho, and Tommy Armstrong.
