The Neighborhood Will Introduce First Spinoff Character Sooner Than Anticipated — See Photos
The seeds are already being planted for Malcolm and Marty's potential exit from The Neighborhood.
As previously reported, CBS is readying an offshoot of its long-running sitcom that would spin off the Butler Bros. A backdoor pilot will air as part of The Neighborhood's one-hour Season 7 finale (on Monday, May 5 at 8/7c) and introduce several new characters who would join Calvin and Tina's sons as they branch out on their own.

The March 31 episode already set in motion Malcolm's spinoff storyline: After being passed over for head coach of USC's baseball team, the assistant coach told his toupee-wearing boss to shove it. He returned home and revealed to his family that he quit his job, but he clearly didn't know what he was going to do next.
Following a one-week break, The Neighborhood Season 7 will resume on April 14 and introduce one of four new spinoff characters ahead of the backdoor pilot. In the episode, Malcolm attends an event for his creative writing program and scores a meeting with book agent Lisa, played by Life in Pieces alum Angelique Cabral. According to the official character breakdown, the 'impeccably dressed, high energy and unpredictable' Lisa 'seems genuinely passionate about Malcolm's writing talent, and hopes to take him to the top of the literary world.'
Three weeks later, in the May 5 finale, Malcolm will graduate from USC and move to a new neighborhood, Venice, roughly 45 minutes from his longtime home of Pasadena. Marty will inevitably decide to join his big brother in Venice, and the episode will introduce the rest of the prospective spinoff cast — which, in addition to Cabral, Sheaun McKinney and Marcel Spears, will include Justin Long (Mom), Kara Royster (Pretty Little Liars) and Hunter King (Life in Pieces); additional character breakdowns can be found here.
If the as-yet-untitled spinoff moves forward, it potentially would air Mondays at 8:30 pm this fall, behind the eighth and final season of the mothership. It is one of several comedies vying for the time slot, including the very-much-on the bubble Poppa's House, which wraps its first (and potentially only) season on April 28. A decision should be made by May 7, which is when CBS will reveal its 2025-26 primetime schedule.

NCIS: Hawai'i Vet Shares Video of ‘Empty,' Weedy Honolulu Studio, as Governor Fights for TV/Film Incentives
A longstanding hub of Hawai'i TV and film production shows heartbreaking signs of disuse, as the 50th state is confronted with the first time in more than 20 years that it has not hosted a TV series. NCIS: Hawai'i vet Jason Antoon, who played the three-season CBS drama's Ernie, recently shared a drive-by video of the Hawaii Film Studio in Honolulu, a 7.5-acre lot at the foot of Diamond Head crater that most recently was home to the NCIS spinoff and CBS' Magnum P.I. reboot. More from TVLine Roberto Orci, Co-Creator of Fringe and Sleepy Hollow, Dead at 51 NCIS Offers a Blink-and-You Missed It Update on the Hawai'i, Los Angeles and New Orleans Teams Lost Rises to No. 2 on Nielsen Streaming Top 10, Trailing The Lincoln Lawyer In decades prior, the lot also was home base for nearly a dozen other TV shows — including CBS' Hawaii Five-0 reboot, Shawn Ryan's Last Resort and, of course, Lost — plus feature films such as Fifty First Dates and Blue Crush. Hawaii Film Studios – Empty and full of weeds. #NCISHawaii #MagnumPI #Hawaii50 #Lost 😢 — Jason Antoon (@jasonantoon) June 7, 2025 With the recent cancellation of Fox's Rescue HI-Surf, which filmed in Oahu and its North Shore, Hawai'i now is hosting no TV production for the first time in more than 20 years. That's a frightful stat when you consider that film and television productions generated over $320 million for the Hawai'i economy as recently as 2024. 'We've had such a doldrum of no work pretty much since Magnum cancelled, [Disney+'s] Doogie [Kamealoha M.D.] cancelled, NCIS[: Hawai'i] cancelled…,' IATSE Local 665 rep Irish Barber shared with Hawaii News Now after Rescue HI-Surf got the axe. And shows that swing by to film an episode or two don't provide enough steady work to truly support the local talent pool. (For example, 90% percent of Rescue HI-Surf crew members were based out of Hawaii.) Hawai'i currently offers TV and film production 'incentives' in the form of a tax refund of 22% for Oʻahu productions and 27% on neighboring islands. That falls short, though, of the more competitive 30% or larger refunds offered by other states. And even those Hawai'i incentives are at risk. Hawaiʻi Gov. Josh Green recently declared his intent to veto a bill that would 'sunset' such tax credits after five years (or by one third annually starting with Year 6). 'This bill would have a significant long-term impact on income tax credits across a variety of industries, including film and television, research, and renewable energy,' Green's office explained, and 'disincentivize future investors from doing business in Hawai'i.'

Olivia Munn Doesn't Let Her Kids Watch Ms. Rachel
Olivia Munn won't let her kids watch Ms. Rachel. In an interview with People, the Your Friends & Neighbors actor shared why she doesn't let her children watch Ms. Rachel's videos or most children's programs, and it's pretty reasonable. Ms. Rachel is a popular YouTuber and Netflix star, famous for making videos that help kids with language development. Olivia has two children, whom she shares with husband John Mulaney — Malcolm, 3, and Méi, 8 months. "I know kids love [Ms. Rachel], but the thing is, if I can't watch it, I'm not going to spend the rest of my life going crazy," Olivia said. "These kid shows drive me crazy." For Olivia, it's not just Ms. Rachel. She's not here for most cartoons in the household. "Malcolm asked for Blue's Clues [recently], and I don't know who showed him Blue's Clues, but they are on my shit list now," Olivia said. "I said, 'Hell no. Not in my house.'" Olivia described how John got Malcolm into the Spider-Man cartoons, which she didn't find "interesting." Her preference is the updated live-action movies. "I put on Tom Holland's Spider-Man: Homecoming and was like, 'If you want to watch the real-life ones, then we can watch that.' It might be a little too old for him, but I can't take the cartoons." But don't worry. There's at least one children's show that makes the cut with Mama Olivia, and that's the PBS children's show Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood for one specific reason. She believes it's a "great program" because it was vital in helping Malcolm understand what it's like to become a big brother to Méi, who was welcomed via surrogate last September. "Daniel Tiger has a little sister, and we'd tell him, 'There's a baby sister coming,'" Olivia said. Even though the typical children's programming might not be on the television when Olivia's around, she's found a system that works for their family. Talking with People, she said when she first introduced Méi to her big brother, she and John made a point not to "change his world and indentity and responsiblities." "A lot of times people will be like, 'Oh, you're a big brother now. You're not the baby anymore. Now you can help mommy get the diapers.' So, all of a sudden, he has all these responsibilities, and he doesn't just get to be carefree anymore," Olivia added. "Instead, we would say, 'Now we have two babies. There's baby Méi Méi and baby Malcolm.'" In the interview, Olivia shared that she and John focus on providing their children equal attention, so, in my opinion, it makes sense that she might not want to throw that balance off with too much Ms. Rachel and animated Spider-Man. Olivia said about her 3-year-old son, "He would say, 'Mommy, come over here. Daddy, come over here,' and if we were holding the baby, we would put her down so that he wouldn't feel that all of a sudden now we can't be there for him." "It's not that we were trying to teach him that everything he says goes, but we wanted him to have the transition with her to know that we're still here whenever he needs us. Then, eventually when he'd say, 'Put Méi Méi down,' we'd say, 'No, she wants to see her mommy too.' He smiles, and he understands," Olivia said. It sounds like Olivia has a system down, and Ms. Rachel (as popular as she may be) might not be for every family. And to be honest, I support Olivia keeping cartoons outside of the house for now, especially when her husband is literally part of a cartoon series that has scenes like this: And this: Perhaps they should wait until Malcolm and Méi are full-grown adults before they start showing them cartoons, in case they become interested in their dad's show. Read the full interview here.
