Rostered On is a single-camera Australian comedy web series focused on the retail staff of "Electroworld". It is directed and written by Ryan Chamley and produced by Robot Army.
The series was launched with a pilot episode on 4 April 2016 and a full series began exactly a year later on 4 April 2017 airing on Facebook and YouTube. In early 2017 the show was heavily promoted including the release of an extended trailer. [1]
Netflix picked up the series and season 1 was available from 4 April 2018. [2] Episodes previously available on YouTube and Facebook were removed. However, the show was removed from Netflix on 12 June 2022 and all episodes were subsequently made available again on YouTube. [3]
A second season was commissioned by the Seven Network and screened on 7mate, the first narrative comedy commissioned for the channel. Season 1 also screened on 7mate in 2019. [4]
The Guardian gave it 2 stars, writing "You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who'd consider the sleazy posturing of this Netflix relaunch good comedy" and criticized its "amateurish writing and bush-league production values". [5]
