Will There Be a Season 8 of “The Neighborhood”? What We Know About the Hit Sitcom’s Final Installment

Cedric the Entertainer and Max Greenfield will return as everyone’s favorite TV neighbors one last time.

Variety confirmed in March 2025 that the beloved sitcom The Neighborhood had been renewed for its eighth season — and announced that it would be its last.

“The brilliant cast and creative team at The Neighborhood, led by the incomparable Cedric the Entertainer, have brought levity, laughter and poignant storylines to Monday nights for seven incredible seasons,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, adding that the show was a strong performer for the network.

She continued, “We believe the show’s loyal fans deserve a proper farewell season full of the trademark humor and heartfelt moments that are synonymous with the series.”

The Neighborhood, which aired its two-part season 7 finale on May 5, premiered in 2018 and follows friendly Midwesterner Dave Johnson (Greenfield) as he moves his white family into a predominantly Black neighborhood in Los Angeles.

The comedy series tackles issues of race and class with humor and heart, as the Johnsons navigate their new community while trying to fit in with their skeptical next-door neighbor, Calvin Butler (Cedric).

Here’s everything to know about the eighth and final season of The Neighborhood.

Will there be a season 8 of The Neighborhood?

Yes, there will be an eighth season of The Neighborhood, and it will conclude the series.

Greenfield opened up to Salon in 2023 about what part of his work on The Neighborhood he’s most proud of.

“What I think the show does really beautifully is it doesn’t provide answers,” the actor said. “It just allows these characters to communicate and live next to each other. More times than not in a really fun way, which I think is, to me, is the really great part about the show is that it doesn’t ever get too heavy.”

What is season 8 of The Neighborhood about?

Details about the plot of the sitcom’s final season haven’t been revealed. But, Cedric has teased what’s on the horizon for the Butlers now that their sons are out of the house.

“It’s just one of those real reflections of life when your kids move on and it starts to change the dynamic of your household,” the comedian told CBS Austin in May 2025. “So we thought it was really good to start to tell that story, which continues up really great for how we want to go into season 8.”

Cedric continued, “As we look forward to the kids moving on, something great is going to happen for Calvin and Tina that’s going to be very surprising to our fans and our audience.”

Which cast members are returning for season 8 of The Neighborhood?

Though CBS hasn’t confirmed details about the upcoming season, fans can likely expect the primary cast to reprise their roles.

In March 2025, Greenfield posted a series of behind-the-scenes photos from The Neighborhood on Instagram, featuring costars Cedric, Tichina Arnold, Beth Behrs, Marcel Spears and Sheaun McKinney.

“Running it back one last time,” the New Girl alum captioned the photos. “8th and final season of @theneighborhood ❤️ Thank you @cbstv @cbstvstudios Forever grateful 🙌.”

When will season 8 of The Neighborhood be released?

CBS has not released an official premiere date for season 8 of The Neighborhood, but confirmed to Variety that it will air during its 2025-2026 broadcast season.

In past seasons, The Neighborhood has started airing in September or October.

Is there going to be a spinoff of The Neighborhood?

There is one spinoff of The Neighborhood in the works. Tracy Morgan, who played Calvin’s wealthy brother Curtis in season 4, will star in the Paramount+ offshoot Crutch — but he’s not reprising his role.

Instead, the Saturday Night Live alum will play Francois “Frank” Crutchfield, Calvin’s cousin, who has to pause his empty nest plans when his adult children unexpectedly return home.

Cedric told TVLine in April 2025 that he, Greenfield and Arnold (who plays his wife, Tina Butler, in The Neighborhood) will guest star in Crutch’s pilot season, which he teased will air “some time in the fall.”

Deadline reported in January 2025 that a spinoff following Malcolm Butler (McKinney) and Marty Butler (Spears) as they leave their parents’ home to move to Venice Beach was also in the works. But CBS passed on the series, per TVLine.

The pilot for the untitled series aired as the second half of The Neighborhood’s season 7 finale on May 5 and gave viewers a glimpse at what the show would have been about. In addition to McKinney and Spears reprising their roles, the cast also would have included Justin Long and Kara Royster.

Cedric told TVLine that he was “disappointed” by the news that the series wouldn’t move forward. “I want everybody to write in [to CBS], because I think people are going to see this season finale and be, like, ‘That’s a great show! Y’all should do that show!’ ” he said.

Where can I watch The Neighborhood?
