CBS and Entertainment Tonight are saying goodbye to The Neighborhood. The Neighborhood: A Farewell Special, an Entertainment Tonight presentation, will air Monday, April 6 at 8 pm on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. Hosted by ET‘s Kevin Frasier and filmed on location on The Neighborhood‘s stages, the special celebrates the veteran sitcom’s eight seasons and 156 episodes, leading up to the series finale on May 11.
The special includes exclusive interviews with cast members as they revisit early days on set and look back at the show’s evolution and cultural impact. It also includes never-before-seen footage and archival interviews from the ET Vault that take a look at the series’ most iconic moments and relationships built along the way. Viewers will get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the emotional final days of production, including the cast and crew’s last table read, intimate moments from the final tapings, and heartfelt goodbyes, according to CBS.
The special also takes viewers inside the cast’s final wrap party, along with a sneak peek at the upcoming series finale.
Starring Cedric the Entertainer and Max Greenfield, The Neighborhood revolves around a friendly Midwestern white family who moves into a predominantly Black neighborhood in Pasadena, CA, clashing with their skeptical, opinionated patriarch neighbor, Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer). Calvin is the unofficial mayor of the neighborhood, where he lives with his loving wife, Tina (Tichina Arnold), and next door to his two older sons, Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney) and Marty (Marcel Spears). The show tells the story of the Butlers’ unlikely friendship with their new(ish) neighbor, perpetual nice-guy Dave Johnson (Greenfield), his wife, Gemma (Beth Behrs), and their now-teenage son, Grover (Hank Greenspan). After seven years of sharing a front yard, the Johnsons have gone from neighborhood newcomers to full-on denizens, really becoming the best of friends with the Butlers (though Calvin won’t admit it). The two families, who couldn’t be more different, have realized they have much more in common than they ever thought they would.
The Neighborhood is executive produced by showrunners Bill Martin and Mike Schiff, Aaron Kaplan, Wendi Trilling, Cedric the Entertainer and Eric Rhone. CBS Studios is the studio.
Produced and distributed by CBS Media Ventures, Entertainment Tonight is co-hosted by Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner with Emily Curl, Cassie DiLaura and Denny Directo as correspondents. Erin Johnson serves as executive producer with Whitney Wallace and Leslie Kawaguchi as co-executive producers.
