Although The Neighborhood season 8 will be the CBS sitcom’s final outing, that has not stopped the show’s creators from doing something genuinely new and risky with its last episodes. The Neighborhood season 8 will continue the plot of the CBS sitcom’s story directly from where the season 7 finale left off, but this is a long way from where the series started back in 2018. The Neighborhood was originally the story of Max Greenfield’s cheery Midwestern veteran Dave, who moved in next door to Cedric the Entertainer’s perpetually put-upon Calvin Butler. 467q

Although The Neighborhood’s planned spinoff starring Marty and Malcolm is no longer happening, this surprising change has the potential to make season 8’s story even better. A lot has changed since The Neighborhood season 1 began airing in 2018. The Neighborhood’s showrunners changed back in 2022 with season 5, while the family dynamics of Cedric the Entertainer's eternally exasperated Calvin Butler transform with each ing season. Although the show was originally about Calvin's struggle with his earnest, cheery Midwestern neighbor Dave, The Neighborhood’s focus moved to Calvin’s children over the years.

The Neighborhood star and executive producer Cedric the Entertainer explains how the popular sitcom will incorporate Malcolm's move into its final season now that CBS has scrapped plans for a spinoff. The Neighborhood season 7's finale offered a backdoor pilot for the spinoff. The second half of the hour-long season wrap-up had Malcolm use the first payment he received as a writer to buy a house in Venice Beach. The finale introduced Malcolm's new neighbors, including one desperate to buy Malcolm's house so he could demolish it and expand his own property, but the spinoff is not going ahead.

CBS struck gold with their uproarious sitcom, The Neighborhood, and now the comedy will return for its eighth and final season. Created for the small screen by Jim Reynolds (and debuting in 2018), the series follows the white Midwestern Johnson family, who move into a predominantly Black neighborhood in Los Angeles. Though the overly-friendly family ruffles a few feathers, they strike up an unlikely friendship with their neighbors, the Butlers. The sitcom touches on many familiar culture-clash talking points that have been broached in previous shows, but does so with a modern and open-hearted sense of humor.

The hit CBS sitcom The Neighborhoodhas delivered laughs non-stop for six seasons already, and Cedric the Entertainer and his co-stars completed Season 7. Debuting as part of 2018's fall season, The Neighborhood follows Michigander Dave Johnson and his family as they relocate to a predominantly Black neighborhood in California, where he learns to fit in thanks to his neighbor Calvin. Anchored largely by the charisma of Cedric the Entertainer, the series uses light humor to touch on sensitive racial topics that most sitcoms stray away from.

CBS has released first-look images of their scrapped Malcolm and Marty spinoff in The Neighborhood season 7 finale, which would've been a backdoor pilot. The Neighborhood season 7 will be the second-to-last batch of episodes for the sitcom, which recently saw confirmation that season 8 will be the last for the show. In addition, a spinoff focusing on Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney) and Marty (Marcel Spears) is not moving forward, despite the latter half of the two-part season 7 finale acting as a backdoor pilot.

The Neighborhood is getting its first spinoff after seven successful seasons on CBS thus far, and there are already a ton of exciting updates about Crutch. Premiering in fall 2018 and starring TV legend Cedric the Entertainer, The Neighborhood follows a middle-class white family from Michigan who buys their dream home in a predominantly Black neighborhood in California. Based on classic sitcom premises and anchored by the performances of Cedric the Entertainer, The Neighborhood hasn't broken the mold but has been consistently popular across its half-decade run.

CBS reveals the season finale dates for many of their shows, including NCIS, Tracker, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, and multiple series finales. The finales for CBS' TV lineup mostly consist of season finales, alongside the curtain call for a multitude of series that were popular staples of the network for quite some time. This includes S.W.A.T. season 8, which is the last for the show despite being saved after season 6. However, some shows, like Fire Country and The Equalizer, will be expanding with new spinoffs later down the road.

Beth Behrs has reflected on the cancellation of 2 Broke Girls following the final renewal of her current CBS show The Neighborhood. Since 2018, Behrs has starred as Gemma Johnson in the CBS sitcom, which follows her and Dave's (Max Greenfield) move into a predominantly Black neighborhood as a white Midwestern family in Los Angeles. The network recently confirmed that The Neighborhood will end after its eighth season. The Neighborhood season 8 is expected to finish off with Behrs and Greenfield alongside Cedric the Entertainer and Tichina Arnold.

Another long-running CBS show is bowing out, as the network announces its latest renewal decision. Things initially looked promising for the CBS slate, with the eye network confirming renewals for a slew of comedies and dramas. That includes Ghosts, Tracker, Elsbeth, and the NCIS franchise. But considering that there are set to be several new additions to the line-up, some controversial CBS cancellation decisions have also trickled out.
