Ask any Bo Burnham or Inside fan, anyone with a TikTok account, or anyone who enjoys comedy. Should Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous be renewed, even though it was canceled nine years ago and everybody involved has long since moved on? And even though the early internet age for which it was written is ancient history? The answer will always be a resounding yes. Zach Stone is one of the best millennial sitcoms ever made. It’s also one of the only millennial sitcoms ever made. Let’s break it down.

No one has better represented their fellow millennials and the suspicious, dangerous, fragmented, and screen-dominated world in which we live and operate. Burnham’s pandemic special Inside, incidentally one of the few good (so far) lockdown pieces released, broke the internet that made the musical comedian a star, with its depiction of depression, isolation, and existential crises brutally striking the hearts of all the other teens and 20-30-somethings who watched it.

Nine years before that, and very much under the radar, Burnham was gearing up to do the same thing with his Zach Stone show, about an equally disillusioned high school graduate who couldn’t see himself at college and who had vague but unshakable determination to somehow use the internet to make lots of money and acquire godlike fame. The only problem with Burnham’s hilarious and brilliant show was that it was much too far ahead of its time. This fact ultimately led to the show’s devastating and untimely cancellation.

However, we can almost guarantee you that a decade later, if Bo Burnham spontaneously and without any warning, but with plenty of provocation, announced that he would do another season, he would once again break the internet. Zach Stone would become permanently famous once and for all. Here’s our case for the show’s renewal and everything we would want to see from a continuation of the series!

Zach Stone Was Ahead of Its Time and Has Never Been More Relevant

Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous is just now hitting peak relevancy. It’s the millennial Top Gun, the gen-z Friends. Burnham a little too astutely predicted a future where teens and 20-somethings accidentally and increasingly stumble into unmanageable fame and fortune via boundless antics on the internet, much like he himself did. So, he chose to get ahead of the curve. Ridiculous airtime for the show and lack of accurate promotion got it poor ratings and a heartbreaking cancellation. With Burnham’s other recent, sweeping successes, old and new audiences are revisiting Zach Stone and realizing just how powerfully accurate and informative the concept was.

Zach Stone, played by Burnham, is a typical suburbanite teen, facing the very general expectations of his parents that he get some kind of education, find a job, and be reasonably happy. These expectations rear their head in the achievements of Zach’s younger brother Andy (Cameron Palatas), a sports star, scholar, and an all-around impressive young man with no shortage of girls who want to date him. The only problem is that Zach wants more than his parents expect of him. He can’t bring himself to embody the qualities that Andy so effortlessly does, such as marketability, stability, or datability.

Zach, as you may have guessed, wants to be famous. He has directed his life’s savings toward hiring a camera crew to follow him around all day, every day, as he interacts with his family and friends and works on his strategy for getting famous. The footage itself reveals an insecure, unsure and chaotic kid who has no business sense, no idea what he’s doing, and no skills with which to market himself. Still, hiring the crew eventually gets him noticed by local news stations.

Finally, his genuine declaration on live TV of love for his childhood best friend Amy, played by the adorable Caitlin Gerard, and swearing off of all other priorities, gets Zach a following at the end of the first and only season. Zach Stone, simply by virtue of wanting to be, will be famous, but that’s not the end of his lengthy journey or interpersonal complications.

Zach Stone’s Journey Is Too Relatable

What millennial kid didn’t eventually think they would be famous or try to be? What millennial kid had no idea how to achieve this fantasy? Zach Stone is just too relatable in his grand but vague dreams and his inability to fulfill basic expectations but relentless pursuit of something more. It’s his determination that will propel him to success.

It’s the heartfelt moments of the show that really spoke to viewers, like the time Zach went to a college party and considered enrolling in classes like everybody else, but realized he had nothing in common with the people around him and boldly decided to continue on his own, solo way. His sweet love for Amy and willingness to give up everything for her tugs at everybody’s heartstrings. Finally, his general self-absorption interrupted by moments where he comes through for his loved ones in grandiose ways were the perfect blend of the typical with the impossible. The show pushed the message that you must both work almost blindly hard and abandon yourself to circumstances to succeed.

There are few people who watched this show who didn’t love and root for Zach and want to see what happened to him. Did he really become famous? Did he and Amy stick together? And finally, did he continue to resist change and the status quo like we were all rooting for him to? Maybe someday, Bo Burnham will boldly give us our answers, just as he beautifully gave us our voice back in lockdown.
