‘The Neighborhood’: E4 Picks Up US Comedy To Premiere In April
E4 has picked up CBS comedy series ‘The Neighborhood‘ to premiere this April the UK broadcaster has revealed.
The Neighborhood stars Cedric the Entertainer and Max Greenfield in a comedy about what happens when the friendliest guy in the Midwest moves his family to a neighbourhood in Los Angeles where not everyone looks like him or appreciates his extreme neighbourliness.
Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) is a good-natured, professional conflict negotiator. When his wife, Gemma (Beth Behrs ), gets a job as a school principal in L.A., they move from Michigan with their young son, Grover (Hank Greenspan), unfazed that their new dream home is located in a community quite different from their small town.
Their opinionated next-door neighbour, Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer), is wary of the newcomers, certain that the Johnsons will disrupt the culture on the block. However, Calvin’s gracious wife, Tina (Tichina Arnold), rolls out the welcome wagon; their chipper younger son, Marty (Marcel Spears), thinks the Johnsons could be good for the community; and their unemployed older son, Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney), 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 neighbourhood their home.
The comedy also stars Malik S. as Trey, Earthquake as Que, Gary Anthony Williams as Ernie, and Sloan Robinson as Old Miss Kim.
‘The Neighborhood’ is created by Jim Reynolds (‘Big Bang Theory’), who also exec produces alongside Cedric the Entertainer, Eric C. Rhone, Aaron Kaplan, Wendi Trilling, Dana Honor and Meg DeLoatch. The series already has four seasons in the bag in the USA, and has been renewed for a fifth season.
‘The Neighborhood‘ Season 1 will premiere with a double bill on Monday, 11th April 2022 at 3pm. It will then air two episodes daily each weekday.
