What is The Neighborhood about?

Created by Jim Reynolds, The Neighborhood chronicles a white family, the Johnsons, who adjust to moving into a predominantly black neighborhood in Pasadena, California. They became good friends with the Butler family and have many adventures together.

The official synopsis of the show reads:

"Here's a comedy about what happens when the friendliest guy in the Midwest moves his family (the Johnsons) to a neighborhood in Los Angeles where not everyone looks like him -- or appreciates his extreme neighborliness. Cedric the Entertainer stars as Calvin Butler, the Johnsons' opinionated next-door neighbor, who is wary of the newcomers, and certain that the Johnsons will disrupt the culture on the block. Watch this Fall on CBS."

Upon its renewal in January 2023, Amy Reisenbach, the president of CBS Entertainment, said in a press statement:

"The Neighborhood has become a hit by not only delivering laughs but by telling stories of cultural impact. From gentrification to Black Lives Matter, to addiction and pregnancy loss, the incredible writers and this amazing cast push boundaries and endlessly entertain us."

Producers of the show include Sean Veder, Charles Brottmiller, Chris Poulos, Jess Pineda, Patrick Kienlen, and Mark Nasser.
