If the pizza-shop crew in Minimum Wage looks familiar, there is a reason: Netflix has turned the American High Shorts comedy into a series with faces from the original.
Minimum Wage premiered on Netflix on October 26, 2026, according to the platform’s official weekly release calendar. The setup stays close to the shorts: teenagers trying to handle their restaurant jobs and school while their boss adds to the chaos.
Who is in Minimum Wage?
Netflix’s announcement names seven returning American High Shorts cast members:
- Aidan Micho
- Grace Reiter
- Hyde Healy
- Julia Dicesare
- Luke Burke
- Ryan Micho
- Tommy Armstrong
Jeremy Garelick and Will Phelps are the showrunners. This is a scripted comedy, not a reality show about running a pizza place.
Is Minimum Wage 14 episodes or 28?
The announcement and current listing describe different things. Netflix’s May 13 announcement was for a 28-episode order. Its current series listing and Tudum show card display 14 episodes.
The original order is not a promise that all 28 arrive together. The linked sources do not explain how the remaining ordered episodes will be released.
