In the world of TV, sometimes even the shows we love have to come to an end. In February 2025, CBS made some big announcements about renewing a bunch of its popular shows, but guess what? The Neighborhood wasn't on that list. Now, here's the scoop: The much-loved sitcom is indeed coming to a close. Let me break it down for you. CBS confirmed in March 2025 that The Neighborhood will return for its 8th season, but here's the kicker—it's going to be the final season. So, if you're a fan, you’ll want to tune in for one last ride.
Now, you might be asking, "Why is this happening?" Well, it's not because the show isn't doing well. In fact, it's quite the opposite. The Neighborhood has been a consistent ratings winner for CBS, and it's one of the top comedies on TV. Amy Reisenbach, the President of CBS Entertainment, had some heartfelt words to say about the decision in a press release. She praised the "brilliant cast and creative team" behind the show, led by none other than the legendary Cedric the Entertainer. She went on to say that the show has brought "levity, laughter, and poignant storylines" to CBS for seven incredible seasons. So, why end it now? Sometimes, the best way to say goodbye is by giving fans a proper farewell season filled with all the humor and heartfelt moments that have made the series so special.
As season 7 was still airing, CBS shared some impressive numbers. This season, The Neighborhood was pulling in an average of 6.4 million viewers across all platforms within 35 days of each episode airing. That's a pretty solid audience, and it shows just how much people love this show. The series, which stars Cedric the Entertainer, Max Greenfield, Beth Behrs, Tichina Arnold, Sheaun McKinney, Marcel Spears, and Skye Townsend, first hit our screens back in 2018. Over the years, it's become a staple of Monday night TV, delivering laughs and heartfelt moments week after week.

Alright, so we know The Neighborhood is getting an eighth and final season, but when can we expect it? CBS has announced that the new season will air during the 2025-2026 broadcast season. However, they haven't given us an exact premiere date just yet. Keep your eyes peeled for updates because you won't want to miss the start of this farewell tour.
Even though The Neighborhood is coming to an end, the story isn't over just yet. In May 2024, CBS Studios announced that a spinoff starring Tracy Morgan is in the works for Paramount+. The new series will focus on Morgan's character, Francois ‘Frank’ Crutchfield, also known as ‘Crutch.’ Frank is a widower from Harlem whose plans for an empty nest are disrupted when his adult children move back home. It's a fresh take on family dynamics and promises to be just as entertaining as The Neighborhood.
But wait, there's more! Fans of Malcolm and Marty won't be left out in the cold. The season 7 finale of The Neighborhood will serve as a backdoor pilot for another potential spinoff. This one will follow Malcolm and Marty as they leave their parents' nest and head to Venice Beach for a new chapter in their lives. They'll be joined by a quirky cast of characters, including Bruce, played by Justin Long, who's a tech millionaire with a big personality, and Bellamy, played by Hunter King, who's got a sardonic outlook but a loyal heart. It's shaping up to be a fun new series that captures the spirit of The Neighborhood while exploring fresh territory.
