The Neighborhood Spinoff Not Moving Forward at CBS
CBS has pumped the brakes on its Neighborhood universe expansion: TVLine can confirm that the Eye network will not be moving forward with a spinoff centered on Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney) and Marty Butler (Marcel Spears).
The untitled offshoot, which was being eyed for the 2025-26 TV season, would have seen Calvin and Tina's adult sons 'embark on new adventures, finally leaving their parents' nest to start the next chapter of their lives, finding themselves the newcomers in a neighborhood that's both close but yet world apart: Venice Beach,' according to a previously released logline.

A backdoor pilot for the now-defunct offshoot — which also stars Justin Long (Mom), Kara Royster (Pretty Little Liars), Angelique Cabral and Hunter King (Life in Pieces) — will air as planned on Monday, May 5, at 8:30/7:30c on CBS, and serve as the second half of The Neighborhood's hour-long Season 7 finale. A photo from the episode can be seen below:
Word that the Neighborhood spinoff will not be going forward follows the cancellation of Poppa's House. The Wayans family vehicle and the Malcolm-and-Marty offshoot were among several comedies vying for the only half-hour time slot available on CBS' fall schedule — and it ultimately went to single-camera workplace comedy DMV.
The Neighborhood was previously renewed for an eighth and final season at CBS. Another spinoff, Tracy Morgan's Crutch, received a straight-to-series order at Paramount+ last May, and is still awaiting a premiere date.
