A spinoff of “The Neighborhood” starring Marcel Spears and Sheaun McKinney is in the works at CBS, Variety has confirmed.
The multi-cam series, should it move forward, will follow their characters Marty and Malcolm Butler as they venture out of their parents’ home and migrate from Pasadena to Venice Beach. The show does not yet have a series order but is being considered for the 2025-2026 broadcast season.
This would be the second spinoff of “The Neighborhood,” which is currently airing its seventh season. The series stars Max Greenfield as Dave Johnson, a white, Michigan dad who moves his family into a predominantly Black neighborhood in Los Angeles. Not everyone appreciates his “Midwestern niceness,” including Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer). Spears and McKinney play Marty and Malcolm, Calvin’s sons.
In May, it was announced that Tracy Morgan would lead a new Paramount+ comedy series titled “Crutch,” which would take place in the same universe as “The Neighborhood.” Morgan’s character is the cousin of Cedric the Entertainer’s Calvin Butler. Adrianna Mitchell and Jermaine Fowler have also been cast in the offshoot series.
