Season 3

**Season 3** of *The Neighborhood* was ordered on May 6, 2020. It was premiered on November 16, 2020, and concluded on May 17, 2021. For the 2020-2021 season, the show ranked #40 in both total viewers and the Adults 18-49 demo among all broadcast programs.

## Background

As the COVID-19 pandemic led to shortened seasons and delayed production schedules by broadcast networks, *The Neighborhood*'s episode order was reduced from 22 to 18.

Following the police killing of George Floyd in the spring of 2020, creator Jim Reynolds told Entertainment Weekly that the show would tackle the issue of racism in policing:

> "Before George Floyd, the country and myself, the network, Cedric, and the other producers were focused on COVID. But then, when George Floyd was killed and the movement moved to a grander scale, I felt very strongly as did Cedric that that was the issue that our show was really in a unique place to address it," Reynolds tells EW. "Being a show that is so much about race relationships and the Black experience, we knew that we had the platform and the opportunity and, frankly, the obligation to address the issue."

The season premiere, "Welcome to the Movement," focusing on Black Lives Matter, reflected a shift in tone for the series to dealing with more serious subject matter.
