It’s time for the aliens to go home. ABC has cancelled The Neighbors after two seasons and 44 episodes.
A family sitcom, The Neighbors follows the Weaver clan as they try to live in a beautiful gated community that’s filled with alien visitors from the planet Zabvron. The ensemble castmembers are Jami Gertz, Lenny Venito, Simon Templeman, Toks Olagundoye, Tim Jo, Clara Mamet, Ian Patrick, Isabella Cramp, and Max Charles.
After a first season of mediocre ratings, the series could have been cancelled last May. However, ABC decided to stick with it and scheduled it on Friday nights. Expectations on Fridays are lower but The Neighbors’ ratings ended up being too low for a third season renewal.
Castmate Olagundoye tweeted the news, “Tweeps, I have known since last night, but was not able to share the news until it was announced publicly. #TheNeighbirs has been cancelled”
What do you think? Are you sorry that there won’t be a third season? If you ran the network, would you have cancelled this show?
Upon rewatching the last few seconds of the last episode of season two. Are there other actors on the show that we can reach out to to see if they can get this show restarted? Much like how, “Fran”, got her own show after , “The Nanny”. So many years later. Someone with a brain,m that can think further, any thoughts? This show just needs to continue.
Yes bring this show back! I found it and binged both seasons. This show was just ahead of its time. Seriously hilarious or equally intriguing each episode.
MAKE MANY, MANY, MANY MORE SEASONS. *sorry for yelling but I’ve been saying this since 2013 and I really need someone to hear me and Bring It Back for the love of all that is holy and good and whatever is left of my sanity. I’m ready already!!
It’s sad they’re not doing another season … it’s such a good show and has potential for season three! Please bring it back!
I loved it! Please make season 3.
I love this show please don’t cancel it.
They always cancel the good shows. That’s why it’s so hard to find anything worth watching these days.
I’m still whining about not only the cancellation of this show but not even a decent finale episode .
I no longer watch any new shows on ABC because of their abrupt cancellations
I agree! I wish they would make a new serious or movie 10 years later.
Wow, this is a pretty recent comment. That’s good to know. . . . Approximately one hour ago, I watched as the Hulu queue prepared to play the pilot episode of a new show, thus indicating that Season 3 was either on a different streaming service or. . . . Well, I can tell you three things: 1) Nearly that exact thought ran through me (“They always cancel good shows.”). I end up falling in love with shows that are destined for the chopping block, not because they lacked substance, but because they have too much of it. The average… Read more »
This show is so clever. The acting is amazing. What a fun, light-hearted way to examine and comment on human nature. There are so few really good shows. So glad a friend recommended this and so broken-hearted that it is not 20 seasons. If anyone out there is listening please bring it back. Please please please. This is exactly the kind of good-hearted optimistic tv we need now and always. I am recommending to everyone I know. Please bring it back!!!
Totally agree !!
Best TV Series I have ever seen. For us that don’t like the shows that have killing, lying, fake drama, negative content. I Just heard about this show jan.27 2020.from my brother. And Im afraid to binge watch knowing there’s only 2 seasons. Life is daunting now
I love The Neighbors why do they have to cancel the good shows. Nothing but killing. I loved laughing at the neighbors bring them back Please
I agree ! Why can’t they reboot this ? Cancelled without a proper finale !
Plus the finale was a perfect lead in to a Season 3 (perfection). I think they did that in hopes for any station to pick them up. #Netflix ? #Hulu ? I’m looking at you now…. I’ve been waiting since 2013. Help a girl out. Bring this show back to me.
Perhaps having two new shows airing at the same time with nearly the same title could be another facet to low ratings. There is the show “The Neighborhood” on CBS, and this show “The Neighbors” on ABC. Even though they are on different networks, the close titles may pose a problem. Example, my husband did a search for a show he knew had the word “neighbor” in it and “The Neighbors” pops up. He starts telling me about the show and I thought he was crazy because that was not what I was watching, then I realized he was watching… Read more »
I’m sad this show got cancelled! It was a wonderful unique show and very witty! Made me laugh that feel good laugh and just like that it made me sad because it got cancelled. I don’t understand why great shows like this always gets the boot? Wish they tried diffrent tactics to pull more ppl in, like change the day and time it was on? Ask n.f. to take it over? Anything!
I would never have put it on Friday night that’s where good shows go to die
This just really REALLY stinks! Networks need to step up their ad game when it comes to shows like this. In 2014 I was laid up recovering from some very intense knee reconstruction. I watched a ton of tv, I wasn’t streaming yet. Not one time did I or anyone in my house, family’s homes and friends homes ever hear of this show. I saw a ton, like a ridiculous amount!, of ads for reality shows. I don’t care about those types of shows. I strive to avoid drama, and people that love drama, in my own life. I certainly… Read more »
Canceling this show was a huge mistake I would pay extra just to watch this show.
I never knew the show existed. I found it on Hulu. Binged both seasons. The plot was great, the writting was great. Everything about this show was great. ABC probably should have advertised this show more. From what I have read in the comments, this show was a hit. So sad there isn’t a 3rd season. They always cancel the good ones.
The same here! I had never heard of it until it popped up on Hulu. I also, binge watched the entire 2 seasons. Great acting. Great writing. So clever in its humor. I laughed out loud every episode. I was sad when I came to the final episode. You are right, this show should have been advertised more.
