What is The Neighborhood about?
Created by Jim Reynolds, The Neighborhood follows a Caucasian family, the Johnsons, who adjust to moving into a predominantly black neighborhood in Pasadena, California.
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:
"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."
Patrick Kienlen, Sean Veder, Charles Brottmiller, Chris Poulos, Jess Pineda, and Mark Nasser produced the show.
Season 5 episode 17 of the sitcom will air on April 10, 2023, at 8 pm ET on CBS.
