The cast of The Neighborhood share their own plans after the show wraps up.

As The Neighborhood prepares to take its final bow, the tight-knit cast is getting ready to trade in the fictional streets of Pasadena for a variety of exciting new chapters. For years, the CBS hit sitcom has brought laughter into millions of homes by exploring culture clashes, deep friendships, and the true meaning of community.

While saying goodbye to the block is bittersweet, the stars of the show already have their sights set on what comes next. From stepping behind the camera to launching passion projects, here is a look at what the cast of The Neighborhood has planned after the show wraps up.

Cedric the Entertainer (Calvin Butler)

As the anchor of the show, Cedric the Entertainer has spent years making audiences laugh as the proud, protective, and stubborn Calvin Butler. Once the cameras stop rolling, Cedric has no intention of slowing down.

Returning to His Roots: Cedric plans to hit the road for a major stand-up comedy tour, bringing his signature humor to live stages across the country.

Behind the Scenes: Through his production company, A Bird and a Bear Entertainment, he is shifting his focus toward producing new television projects and mentoring up-and-coming comedians.

Literary Pursuits: Following the success of his debut novel, Flipping Boxcars, Cedric has expressed interest in writing more fiction, proving his storytelling spans far beyond the sitcom stage.

Max Greenfield (Dave Johnson)

Max Greenfield perfectly captured the overly optimistic, conflict-averse Dave Johnson. With The Neighborhood wrapping up, Greenfield is looking forward to balancing high-profile acting gigs with his busy family life.

Expanding His Dramatic Range: While known for his comedic genius (including his iconic run on New Girl), Greenfield is actively seeking out more dramatic film roles and independent cinema projects.

Children’s Book Author: Greenfield has found immense success as a children’s book author (with titles like I Don’t Want to Read This Book). He plans to dedicate more time to writing and promoting literature that makes reading fun for kids.

Dad Duty: A devoted family man, Max is looking forward to some much-needed downtime with his wife and children before jumping into his next long-term television commitment.

Tichina Arnold (Tina Butler)

The powerhouse energy behind Tina Butler, Tichina Arnold is a sitcom legend. For Arnold, the end of The Neighborhood simply means opening the door to a massive array of multi-hyphenate projects.

The Music Scene: A phenomenal singer, Arnold plans to dive back into music, teasing potential theatrical roles and musical collaborations.

Fashion and Business: She is expanding her entrepreneurial footprint, focusing on her designer eyewear line and other lifestyle brand ventures.

Directing and Activism: Arnold intends to spend more time in the director’s chair and remains heavily committed to her philanthropic work, particularly raising awareness for Lupus through the We Win Foundation.

Beth Behrs (Gemma Johnson)

As the sweet and grounded Gemma Johnson, Beth Behrs brought a wonderful warmth to the series. As she prepares for life after the show, Behrs is focusing on projects that nourish both her creative spirit and her love for the environment.

Nurturing Harmonia: Behrs is the co-creator of the comic book series Harmonia, and she plans to dedicate more time to writing and potentially adapting the project for animation or live-action.

Podcasting and Wellness: An advocate for mental health and equine therapy, Behrs plans to expand her footprint in the wellness space, exploring new podcast concepts centered on holistic health.

Theater Callings: With a strong background in musical theater, Behrs has hinted at a desire to return to the stage, whether on Broadway or in regional productions.
