Netflix continues to expand its catalog of American network comedies and is now adding another major title. It has been confirmed that several seasons of The Neighborhood, the CBS sitcom starring Cedric the Entertainer, will arrive on Netflix in the United States on Wednesday, November 5, 2026. All signs point to the show's full eight seasons being available from that day.
The addition comes just six months after the series finished its run on CBS. The final episode aired in May, and according to available information, this will be the first time The Neighborhood is available for streaming on Netflix within the United States.
The 156 episodes of the series are expected to be released all at once, which would make it one of the largest sitcom libraries Netflix has added this year.
Part of a network sitcom trend on Netflix
The Neighborhood joins a long list of broadcast television comedies that have arrived on Netflix during 2026. Black-ish debuted in January, Suburgatory arrived in February, the fellow CBS production Mike & Molly landed in March after a short delay, and the NBC series St. Denis Medical and Happy's Place were added in April.
On the Paramount front, Netflix has been moving forward with the licensing deal announced in January, which includes around 20 series. SEAL Team arrived in August, and Mayor of Kingstown was added just this week. For now, it is not confirmed if The Neighborhood is part of that package or if it is an independent deal, but in any case, CBS Studios has become one of the most consistent providers of content for Netflix. This shift contrasts notably with the situation a few years ago, when series like Evil were licensed for only one year before disappearing from the service.
What is The Neighborhood about?
Created by Jim Reynolds, this multi-camera sitcom premiered on CBS in October 2018. The story follows Dave Johnson, an extremely friendly man from the Midwest who moves with his family to a neighborhood in Pasadena, California, inhabited mostly by African American residents. His new neighbor, Calvin Butler, does not welcome Dave's arrival with the same enthusiasm.
What begins as a culture-clash premise evolves into a story about two families who end up forging a close friendship. Throughout its seasons, the series addresses themes of race, social class, and parenting without losing its comedic tone. Fans of the show will also recognize that almost all episode titles begin with the phrase Welcome to….
The Neighborhood cast
The main cast of the series consists of Cedric the Entertainer as Calvin Butler, Max Greenfield as Dave Johnson, Tichina Arnold as Tina Butler, Beth Behrs as Gemma Johnson, Sheaun McKinney as Malcolm Butler, Marcel Spears as Marty Butler, and Hank Greenspan as Grover Johnson.
Skye Townsend and Amber Stevens West also joined as series regulars in later seasons.
The Neighborhood spin-offs
CBS filmed a spin-off pilot episode centered on the characters of Marty and Malcolm, which aired as a prelude to the seventh season finale in 2025. However, the network ultimately decided not to move forward with that project. On the other hand, the character of Crutch, Calvin's cousin played by Tracy Morgan, did get his own comedy on Paramount+, titled Crutch. This spin-off series is not expected to arrive on Netflix in the near future.
Will The Neighborhood stop being available on Paramount+?
That is not expected to happen. Most of the licensing deals Paramount has signed with Netflix are non-exclusive, so The Neighborhood should remain available on Paramount+ even after its arrival on Netflix.
For the moment, the confirmation of the series' arrival is limited to Netflix in the United States. If other international regions are added, the information will be updated accordingly.
