As reported by Variety, CBS is working on a spinoff of its popular sitcom, The Neighborhood, which is getting fans super excited! This new show will be all about Marty and Malcolm Butler, the lovable characters played by Marcel Spears and Sheaun McKinney. People enjoy their humor and those warm, fuzzy moments they have on the show.
Deadline reports that the spinoff will follow the brothers as they move from their home in Pasadena to the lively neighborhood of Venice Beach. The show hasn't officially gotten the green light yet, but it's looking good for the 2025-2026 season. This is the second time they're doing a spinoff for The Neighborhood, and it's clear that the network wants to keep the good times rolling.
The big bosses behind this new show include Bill Martin, Mike Schiff, and Cedric the Entertainer, who are also the executive producers of the original. While we don't know if other characters will pop up, the idea of these guys in a new setting sounds like a comedy goldmine with lots of room for the characters to grow.
So, hold onto your hats, because this is going to be a fun ride for sure!
Marty and Malcolm’s antics in a new setting
At the center of The Neighborhood spin-off is the bond between Marty and Malcolm. These guys are like night and day but they get each other. Marty's the brainy engineer who went from geek to business mogul, and Malcolm, well, he used to be a sports star until he got hurt and had to figure out life without baseball.
Venice Beach is their new playground, and it couldn't be more different from their old stomping grounds in Pasadena. In this spin-off, we're going to see what is happening with Marty. He's a dad now, with a baby girl named Daphney, and he's trying to juggle work and parenthood with Courtney's help. It's not always easy, but it's going to be interesting to see how they manage.
Malcolm, on the other hand, is still trying to find his groove now that he's not playing sports anymore. He's got charm that makes you root for him, and his journey's going to be full of mess-ups and heartwarming moments.
Venice Beach is a new world for these characters from The Neighborhood. It's got quirky characters and a vibe to shake up their lives. We're talking about a place where everyone's a little bit different, and that's going to lead to funny moments.
Plus, we'll get to see how they deal with the culture shock and all the little adventures that come with starting over in a new place.
The spinoff will be tying into The Neighborhood universe
This new show is a whole new story with characters you already know and love. The Neighborhood is doing that with Crutch, featuring Tracy Morgan playing someone related to Calvin Butler, and it's opening the door for more fun adventures in that same world.
Now, the people making the show are talking about another spinoff with Marty and Malcolm. It's like giving them their show where we can get to know them better without missing out on the main story of The Neighborhood.
Cedric the Entertainer, the executive producer of the show, said in a statement:
“Audiences have fallen in love with these characters, and we’re excited to explore what happens when they step out on their own.”
This show will have little guest appearances from Calvin and Tina or nods to other shows to make The Neighborhood's universe more connected.
If they say yes to this new show, you'll be able to watch it on both CBS and Paramount+. The original The Neighborhood is still on the same channels.
