The workplace comedy will continue in 2022-2023.
May 12, 2022
NBC announced today that American Auto has been picked up for a second season. The good news comes two months after the workplace comedy wrapped its freshman run.
From 'Superstore' creator Justin Spitzer, the half-hour series premiered in December with a 10-episode run that garnered generally positive praise from critics. While it hasn't been a ratings hit, the show did perform well compared to other comedies on the network.
American Auto takes place at an automotive company in Detroit, where corporate executives are doing their best to adapt to the changing times or be left in the dust. A new CEO has been brought in to shake things up, but her leadership and experience is slightly offset by her complete lack of knowledge about cars. Thankfully her team has some of the best minds in the industry - when they aren't fighting or trying to outwit each other.

This seemed like an inferior mix of The Office, Parks and Rec, and Superstore to me. I loved all three of those shows but this one lacks the charm and humor of those (to me). I still watched it, and hoped it would get better. I did like the episode where Katherine (Ana Gasteyer) put on her best big girl pants and showed why she had the job - the experience with the pharma company and knowing how to fight the press. Maybe more of that will follow.

I actually really liked it and hope like superstore it gets better in it's second season. I can feel the potential there. It definitely got better after the 4th episode.

I've watched maybe 7 or 8 episodes and it's all good, always funny. It can feel borderline too stupid, but stupid is its charm. They did a real good job with it.
I'm astonished that Gary suggests it (a joke) should be believable. How could someone make that comment is beyond me.

I couldn't get into this show. The whole premise just seemed to unbelievable... like this huge auto company has just a few executives and they're all clueless.
Happy for the people who liked it though. Maybe it got better... I only watched the first two episodes.
