CBS is closing the book on one of its longest-running comedies.
According to USA Today, the eighth and final season of The Neighborhood premieres Monday, October 13 at 8 p.m.
The episode, titled “Welcome to the New Normals,” will also stream live and on demand for Paramount+ Premium subscribers the same night, while Paramount+ Essential subscribers will have access the following day.
Since its debut in 2018, The Neighborhood has followed the unlikely friendship between two Los Angeles families—the Butlers and the Johnsons.
Calvin Butler, played by Cedric the Entertainer, has long been the show’s cornerstone. His no-nonsense personality often clashes with the overly enthusiastic Midwestern neighbor, Dave Johnson, played by Max Greenfield.
Over the years, those differences have shifted into an enduring bond, with both families navigating cultural divides, life lessons, and plenty of comedy along the way.
Season 8 picks up with both households facing big changes. Tina Butler, played by Tichina Arnold, discovers a new passion. Malcolm Butler, portrayed by Sheaun McKinney, struggles to balance work responsibilities with family obligations. Meanwhile, Marty Butler, played by Marcel Spears, continues his relationship with Courtney Pridgeon, portrayed by Skye Townsend, who is ready to take an important step forward.
Dave, Gemma, and their son Grover continue to find their rhythm in a neighborhood that has tested and strengthened them since they first arrived.
The show’s main ensemble remains intact for the farewell season, including Cedric the Entertainer, Tichina Arnold, Max Greenfield, Beth Behrs, Sheaun McKinney, Marcel Spears, and Skye Townsend. Together, they’ve created a sitcom that has become a staple on Monday nights for CBS viewers.
CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach previously praised the impact of the series, saying, “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. The show’s loyal fans deserve a proper farewell season full of the trademark humor and heartfelt moments that are synonymous with the series.”
After 135 episodes, the series holds the distinction of being CBS’s longest-running current comedy.
