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 as they 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 of the 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 best sitcoms of all time typically stray away from the most topical storylines, but The Neighborhood has never been afraid to approach hot-button issues without alienating the audience. Viewers have watched the Johnson and Butler families grow and change together over the show’s nearly decade-long run, and that sort of continuity has made it one of CBS’ crown jewels. With a spinoff, Crutch, also in the offing, The Neighborhood is beginning to wind down its impressive tenure on the air. Though CBS has renewed the show for season 8, it will also be the last.

The Neighborhood Season 8 Latest News

CBS Renews & Cancels The Neighborhood

With the network in a state of flux, the latest news confirms that CBS has renewed and canceled The Neighborhood. In a dual move, the network has opted to bring the Butler and Johnson families back for an eighth season, while also announcing that season 8 will be the last hurrah for The Neighborhood. This announcement comes amid a slew of other cancelations at CBS, and the network has already axed FBI: International, FBI: Most Wanted, and perhaps most controversial of all, S.W.A.T. starring Shemar Moore.

The Neighborhood Season 8 Is Confirmed As The Last

Return To The Neighborhood One Last Time

Even though The Neighborhood has become one of the most popular sitcoms on TV today, it’s future was never set in stone at CBS. Eventually, the network opted to renew the show in March 2025, but it came with the caveat that The Neighborhood season 8 will be the final season for the original series. Throughout its near decade on the air thus far, The Neighborhood has been a consistent hit for CBS, but with a slew of cancelations, it’s clear that the network is in a state of flux.

Because the renewal order is still so fresh, there are few details about the upcoming final season of the series. However, with CBS looking to get The Neighborhood off its future schedule, the sitcom will certainly arrive for fall 2025. Like most network shows, The Neighborhood has been a fall staple since its premiere, and there’s no reason that the eighth and final outing won’t follow the same schedule.

The Neighborhood Season 8 Cast Details

The Johnsons & Butlers Will Return

Sitcoms rely on their casts to stay consistent in order to build continuity from season to season, and the bond between the Johnsons and Butlers is the true heart of The Neighborhood. As such, there isn’t going to be much change going into season 8, and Cedric the Entertainer will once again return to play the gruff but lovable Calvin Butler. Joining him will be his neighbor, Dave Johnson (played by Max Greenfield), who he doesn’t always see eye-to-eye with. Tichina Arnold will return as the much more understanding Tina, Calvin’s wife, while Beth Behrs will play Dave’s wife, Gemma.

The rest of the Johnson and Butler families are expected to return as well, including young Hank Greenspan as Grover Johnson, the precocious tween. Calvin and Tina’s children, Marty (the youngest, played by Marcel Spears) and Malcolm (the oldest, played by Sheaun McKinney) will also be back. Skye Townsend’s Courtney has become integral to the plot since she welcomed a baby with Marty in season 6.

The cast of The Neighborhood season 8 includes:

Actor	The Neighborhood Role
Cedric the Entertainer	Calvin Butler
Max Greenfield	Dave Johnson
Tichina Arnold	Tina Butler
Beth Behrs	Gemma Johnson
Hank Greenspan	Grover Johnson
Marcel Spears	Marty Butler
Sheaun McKinney	Malcolm Butler
Skye Townsend	Courtney

However, there are a few things that will carry over into the future, including Marty and Courtney’s parenting journey, as well as the Johnsons grappling with Grover turning into a teen. As always, the culture clash between the families will be the heart of The Neighborhood and the hilarious and heartfelt sitcom isn’t expected to change much.
