The HBO late-night series “Neighbors” has been renewed for Season 2, Variety has learned.
The news comes ahead of the first season finale, which will air on March 20 on HBO and HBO Max beginning at 9 p.m. ET.
Per the official logline, “This explosive series explores the chaotic and complicated disputes of neighbors… and the extreme lengths they’ll go to defend what’s theirs.” Each episode introduces the story of a real conflict between neighbors over a variety of grievances. Series directors Dylan Redford and Harrison Fishman filmed traveled across the country for over two years gathering footage for the show.
“Everyone has a neighbor story, and Dylan and Harrison have a knack for finding ones that make you laugh, cringe, and make it impossible to look away,” said Nina Rosenstein, executive vice president of HBO Programming, Late Night & Specials. “At a time when even the smallest disagreements can spiral out of control, ‘Neighbors’ feels both hilariously absurd and surprisingly relatable. What makes the show special isn’t just the stories and people they find, but the empathy and humanity they bring to each episode. Season 2 can’t come soon enough!”
According to HBO, “Neighbors” has averaged 2.9 million cross-platform viewers per episode since it debuted in mid February. Fishman and Redford are directors and executive producers on the series. Additional executive producers are A24 and Josh Safdie, Eli Bush, Ronald Bronstein, and JP Lopez Ali for Central. Rachel Walden produces for Gummy Films.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with the amazing teams at HBO, A24, Central, Gummy Films, and Genma Pictures on another season of ‘Neighbors,’” Fishman and Redford said. “They placed so much trust in us and gave us the freedom to create the show we always envisioned. Thank you to all the incredible neighbors who bravely shared their stories and welcomed us into their lives to make the first season possible. We can’t wait to get back out in the field and introduce audiences to the neighbors they never knew they had.”
