Nick@Nite will add the hit CBS multi-camera comedy series The Neighborhood to its programming line-up on on Tuesday, June 18, with episodes airing daily at 5:00 a.m. (ET/PT)!
The Neighborhood stars Cedric the Entertainer in a comedy about what happens when the friendliest guy in the Midwest moves his family to a neighborhood in Los Angeles where not everyone looks like him or appreciates his extreme neighborliness.
Dave Johnson is a good-natured, professional conflict negotiator. When his wife, Gemma, gets a job as a school principal in L.A., they move from Michigan with their young son, Grover, unfazed that their new dream home is located in a community quite different from their small town.
Their opinionated next-door neighbor, Calvin Butler, is wary of the newcomers, certain that the Johnsons will disrupt the culture on the block. However, Calvin's gracious wife, Tina, rolls out the welcome wagon; their chipper younger son, Marty, thinks the Johnsons could be good for the community; and their older son, Malcolm, finds Dave may finally be someone who understands him.
Dave realizes that fitting into their new community is more complex than he expected, but if he can find a way to connect with Calvin, they have an excellent chance of making their new neighborhood their home.
The Neighborhood stars Beth Behrs as Gemma Johnson, Cedric the Entertainer as Calvin Butler, Hank Greenspan as Grover Johnson, Marcel Spears as Marty Butler, Max Greenfield as Dave Johnson, Sheaun McKinney as Malcolm Butler, and Tichina Arnold as Tina Butler. Created by Jim Reynolds, the series is executive produced by Reynolds, Aaron Kaplan, Cedric the Entertainer, Dana Honor, Eric Rhone as EP, and Wendi Trilling. James Burrows served as the executive producer and director of the pilot episode, which featured Dreama Walker as Gemma and Josh Lawson as Dave.
The Neighborhood made its premiere on CBS in October 2018 and is currently in its sixth season, with a seventh season ordered.
The news comes as Paramount+ is developing Crutch, a new half-hour comedy starring Tracy Morgan, which will be set in the world of The Neighborhood. The series centers on its titular character, Francois “Frank” Crutchfield (Morgan) – or “Crutch” to those that know him well – a Harlem widower whose empty nest plans are put on hold after his millennial son and free-spirited daughter move back home. The series is produced by CBS Studios and is slated to begin production later this year.
