Starring Cedric the Entertainer and Max Greenfield, The Neighborhood centers on a friendly Midwestern white family who moves into a predominantly Black neighborhood in Pasadena, California. Their arrival leads to a clash with their skeptical neighbor, Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer), who serves as the unofficial mayor of the area. Together with his loving wife, Tina (Tichina Arnold), and their two sons, Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney) and Marty (Marcel Spears), the Butlers navigate the changes that come with new neighbors, Dave Johnson (Greenfield) and his family. Over seven years of sharing a front yard, the two families have forged unexpected friendships, discovering common ground despite their differences.
