The Fox sitcom debuted in 2011 and was a massive triumph.New Girlultimately ran for seven seasonsand 146 episodes before concluding in 2018, and opened up many opportunities for the cast.
Max Greenfield, who famously played Schmidt intheNew Girlcast, has starred inThe Neighborhoodsince 2018 (just a few months after theNew Girlfinale). Now, it will end with its eighth season during the 2025–2026 network TV season. However, a couple of months before season 8’s premiere,The Neighborhoodsnuck its way onto Paramount+’s Top 10 list.
What The Neigborhood’s Rising Popularity Means For Its Last Season
During the week of August 18,The Neighborhoodcharted on Paramount+’s Top 10 trending list. Its seven seasons are available to watch on the platform, and it appears to be finally gaining traction on streaming.

Either old fans are rewatchingThe Neighborhood’s first seven seasonsto prepare for its final outing, new fans are discovering the CBS series for the first time, or both. Perhaps old and new fans are coming together to helpThe Neighborhoodtrend on Paramount+. Whatever the case,The Neighborhood’s trending status indicates that its last season is being set up for success.
Our Take On The Neighborhood’s Future
IfThe Neighborhoodcontinues climbing Paramount+’s charts, it might just have a future past its eighth season, after all. Well, it’s unlikely that CBS will reverse itscancellation ofThe Neighborhoodand order another season. However, it’s quite possible thatthe sitcom’s recent achievement could convince the network (or Paramount+) to expand its universe by developing at least one spinoff.
CBS previously had aspinoff ofThe Neighborhoodin development, but the network decided not to go forward with it in April 2025. The offshoot was to focus on Malcolm and Marty after their move from Pasadena to Venice. Unfortunately, the spinoff (which was tentatively titledCrutch) didn’t receive the green light from CBS.
However, with the show’s rising success on Paramount+, maybe the network’s executives will rethink their previous decision.The Malcolm and Marty spinoff might not come to fruition,but that doesn’t mean all spinoffs are off the table. Anything is possible, especially afterThe Neighborhood’s triumphs on streaming.
The Neighborhoodseason 8 premieres on Monday, July 24, 2025, at 8 pm ET on CBS.
