The landscape of American television and indie music is shifting this week as two major entities sharing the name “The Neighborhood” reach significant milestones. From the final taping of a beloved CBS sitcom to the resurgence of a California alt-pop powerhouse, here is the latest on everything happening in the neighborhood.
CBS Sitcom ‘The Neighborhood’ Wraps Production on Series Finale
After eight successful seasons, the popular CBS sitcom The Neighborhood has officially wrapped filming. On February 21, 2025, cast members including Cedric the Entertainer and Tichina Arnold shared emotional tributes from the set, marking the end of an era for the show that explored the dynamics of a Black family and their white neighbors in Los Angeles.
The series finale is scheduled to air in May 2026. Fans are already speculating about the final plotlines, with rumors suggesting the show may conclude with a wedding for the character Marty. Over its eight-season run, the show remained a staple of Monday night television, consistently drawing millions of viewers and maintaining strong ratings in the 18-49 demographic.
The Neighbourhood (Band) Returns with New Music ‘Ultrasound’
In the music world, the California-based alternative band The Neighbourhood (often stylized as THE NBHD) is making waves following their recent return from a hiatus. Known globally for their 2013 diamond-certified hit “Sweater Weather,” the band has released a new project titled Ultrasound.
Public reception on platforms like Reddit has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans highlighting tracks such as “Lulu,” “Start,” and “Good Grief.” The current lineup remains anchored by vocalist Jesse Rutherford, alongside guitarists Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels, and bassist Mikey Margott. This new era follows the 2022 departure of drummer Brandon Fried.
Community and Safety: Local Neighborhood Updates
Beyond entertainment, the concept of the “neighborhood” is seeing renewed focus in urban planning and public safety across the United States:
- San Francisco, CA: The San Francisco Police Department has launched new Neighborhood Safety Teams designed to provide residents with tools and skills to prevent local crime and violence.
- Pasadena, CA: Local debates are intensifying over urban growth, with community leaders advocating that new developments must remain “compatible” with the existing aesthetic and density of historic neighborhoods.
- Boston, MA: The Fort Point and Seaport districts are being highlighted for their dramatic 20-year transformation from industrial zones to vibrant residential and commercial hubs.
Whether it is the bittersweet conclusion of a television favorite or the evolution of local community safety, the “neighborhood” remains at the heart of the American cultural conversation this Monday, February 23, 2026.
