The Neighborhood: What Happened to the Spin-off With Malcolm & Marty?

As a dedicated gamer, I was genuinely excited about the upcoming spin-off of “The Neighborhood” focusing on the adventures of Malcolm and Marty. Unfortunately, fate had other plans, as the series has hit a roadblock at the network. Originally slated for release between 2025 and 2026, it seems like we’ll have to wait longer or possibly never get to see their story unfold. However, there’s some positive buzz surrounding the already filmed pilot. Here’s everything you need to know about this spin-off!

Was The Neighborhood spin-off with Malcolm and Marty canceled at CBS?

Yes, it has been confirmed that The Neighborhood spin-off has officially been shelved at CBS.

The spin-off was intended to follow Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney) and Marty (Marcel Spears), as they embark on a fresh journey in life, moving out from their parents’ home and settling down in Venice Beach. Although it’s nearby, the change of scenery offers a completely new feel. It seems that financial constraints at CBS might have led to its cancellation, as suggested by Cedric the Entertainer during an interview with TV Line.

He expressed his enthusiasm about the project, stating that they themselves came up with the concept and specifically chose an episode of “The Neighborhood” to film it. Later, he noted that the network isn’t producing many pilots at the moment, explaining, “They aren’t investing a large amount of money… instead, they’re primarily brainstorming ideas.” He also commented that, despite their belief in doing an excellent job, there wasn’t enough financial allowance in the budget for what they had planned.

Initially, a sneak peek at the project that’s currently on hold was provided to viewers via its pilot release on May 5th. This pilot has been woven into the Season 7 finale. The narrative thread from this project is set to continue in the upcoming season.

For those unfamiliar, the television series “The Neighborhood” won’t be returning for a new season after Season 8. Instead, the ninth season will serve as its last. While an exact release date hasn’t been announced yet, it’s expected to air during the 2025-2026 TV broadcasting period.
