HBO’s Criminally Underrated New Series Renewed for Season 2 (But Fans May Have to Wait)

by

The impending merger of Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount has fans anxious about the future of Hollywood. New leadership at any Hollywood studio that has been consolidated into another often means job loss and a change in priorities. As a result, it remains to be seen how WB’s plans for the DCU or even their high-profile Harry Potter reboot at HBO will be handled when a new boss walks in after the merger’s completion. Indicators so far have been that the premium cable brand won’t be affected, which is good news for fans of weird and bizarre programming that HBO has been releasing in recent years, including one that just arrived last month.

HBO has announced a second season of its unscripted series, Neighbors, which first aired in February. The renewal comes right before the season finale this Friday. While reviews have been mixed (currently at 58% on Rotten Tomatoes, but with a strong 64% audience score), the show has attracted over 2.9 million viewers worldwide and is considered a compelling and funny addition to HBO’s comedy lineup, making another season a welcome announcement.

HBO Renews Hilarious New Series Neighbors for Season 2

The show Neighbors focuses on genuine conflicts between real neighbors, exploring the messy and often ridiculous arguments they have and how far they’ll go to resolve them. One episode features a dispute between former friends over a tiny piece of land – barely five square feet – and the lengths they’ll go to in order to ‘win.’ If you enjoy the awkward humor of Tim Robinson’s shows like HBO’s The Chair Company, you’ll find this series highlights the strange people around us and the surprisingly long-running histories behind some neighborhood feuds.

Executive Producers and Directors Dylan Redford and Harrison Fishman expressed their gratitude for the chance to collaborate with the teams at HBO, A24, Central, Gummy Films, and Genma Pictures on another season of Neighbors. They appreciated the trust and creative freedom given to them. They also thanked the individuals who shared their stories and allowed them into their lives to make the first season a success, and are excited to continue exploring new stories and introduce audiences to more Neighbors.

Fans are thrilled that Neighbors is coming back for a second season, but the good news comes with a potential downside: we might have a long wait before new episodes air. The first season took over two years to create, from initial planning to final editing, as each episode features in-depth looks at real people’s lives. Unless production on Season 2 has secretly begun, we might not see new episodes on HBO for another two years.

America is full of interesting characters who often get into surprisingly strange arguments with their neighbors over small things. This means the show could potentially run for a long time with endless unique stories, which is great news for viewers like us.
