New episode of The Neighborhood delayed; rerun aired

Fans of CBS' sitcom The Neighborhood were disappointed to learn that no new episode aired on March 17. Instead, a rerun of the show was broadcast. The hiatus is common for TV shows. It helps to space out episodes over the season. The Neighborhood is not the only show taking a break; other CBS programs that air on Monday nights are also off this week. The show will return with a new episode on March 24. This upcoming episode is part of Season 7 and leads to a finale that will serve as a backdoor pilot for a planned spinoff. The spinoff will follow characters Malcolm and Marty as they start new adventures in Venice. In addition to the new episodes, CBS has confirmed that The Neighborhood will have an eighth and final season. This final season will air in the 2025-2026 TV season. It aims to give fans a proper conclusion to the series. The Season 7 finale will focus on introducing the spinoff instead of wrapping up the main storylines. CBS made this decision after reaching agreements with the cast to ensure the show's return amid rising production costs.
