‘The Neighborhood’ Spinoff Canceled: Everything We Know About the Show

A spinoff for The Neighborhood had previously been rumored at CBS, but that plan is changing, according to recent reports.

What was once in the works is not in the can as an official pick-up won’t move forward at the network. This means The Neighborhood‘s upcoming eighth season will be the final chapter for the franchise at this time. While it’s surely disappointing news for fans of the CBS series, we’re breaking down everything that had been revealed about the previously teased spinoff that is no longer to be.

Is the new Neighborhood spinoff officially happening?

No, according to TV Line, CBS has pulled the plug on the previously teased series.

What would The Neighborhood spinoff have been about?

According to Deadline, the premise of the spinoff would have revolved around the Butler sons, Marty (Marcel Spears) and Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney), as they tackle a new adventure by leaving their family’s nest to kick off the next chapters of their lives. This next chapter would have seen them occupy a new neighborhood that isn’t too far away, but may as well have been worlds apart as they took on Venice Beach.

Who would have starred in The Neighborhood spinoff?

As previously mentioned, Spears and McKinney would have reprised their roles as Mary and Malcolm to lead the show, and it had been announced that Justin Long, Kara Royster, Hunter King, and Angelique Cabral were also poised to guest star in The Neighborhood‘s forthcoming Season 7 finale as part of a backdoor pilot for the spinoff as potential cast members for the new show that will no longer move forward.

Per Deadline, Long had been set to play a tech millionaire named Bruce, Royster would have portrayed Malcolm’s new neighbor and would-be influencer Matisse, King was to appear as Bellamy, a content creator for a cannabis boutique, and Cabral would have played Lisa, a book agent with her sights on Malcolm’s writing.
