The Neighborhood is coming to an end but Max Greenfield is choosing to look at the positive.
“The truth of the matter is this will be our eighth and final season. When you look around, there’s so few … there’s no shows that go eight seasons anymore and there may never be another one. We might be the last one,” Greenfield, 45, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting his STEM partnership. “So I’m genuinely not sad at all that this is ending and feel so grateful for the eight seasons that we were given.”
Greenfield, who has played Dave since the show premiered in 2018, is excited to celebrate the sitcom’s legacy, adding, “We’ve been through so much together. This show has made it through a pandemic. This show has made it through multiple writers and actor strikes. It’s been a real rollercoaster.”
Ahead of the show’s final season, Greenfield teased The Neighborhood is going out on a high.
“To have made it this far and to be in the position we’re at is just such a wonderful gift,” he continued. “And the ability to say goodbye in the way that we all want to, it is great. So I’m really excited to have a fun last season where everybody knows what the fate of the show is and have a good time with the people that I have already had such a good time with for the last seven plus years.”
The Neighborhood follows a white Midwestern family adjusting to a move into a predominantly Black neighborhood in California. In addition to Greenfield, the show stars Cedric the Entertainer, Tichina Arnold, Beth Behrs, Sheaun McKinney and Marcel Spears.
Despite The Neighborhood coming to an end, there is a potential spinoff in the works with Tracy Morgan, Justin Long, Kara Royster and Hunter King. Greenfield isn’t leading the new series but he isn’t slowing down.
“This is where you go to work every day and to be on these long-running shows, inevitably your life happens within that span of time and you share those personal moments with the people that you work with. That’s for sure the emotional part of leaving a show,” he explained to Us. “And then you are moving on and being with totally new people and creating something new. But there’s something really exciting about that. That’s the emotional part of the show and knowing that it is going to end and having the opportunity to look back at that time and reflect on it.”
Greenfield’s newest onscreen venture has him teamed up with Queer Eye’s Jeremiah Brent for a new campaign that puts a comedic twist on creating a calm and curated home through STEM’s discreet and design-friendly devices including the STEM™ Light Trap and Fan Trap.
“This is a really funny concept, which originally felt very connected to the things I do comedically. I knew Jeremiah was going to be involved — who I love and who I knew a little bit. The idea was that I was very bugged, which felt very close to what I did at New Girl and what I do well,” he told Us. “Look, everyone else seems to be annoyed by me in my life so why not annoy Jeremiah?”
The promotional video showed Brent, 40, walking Us through a beautiful home that he designed until Greenfield appeared to disrupt the tour.
“It was a product that I was very familiar with. We use it all the time in our house. My experience with these bugs is always the same,” Greenfield shared. “I’ve said this before but I feel like they really are attracted to certain people. My wife and daughter — not a problem. They totally ignore them and they don’t see it as an issue in their life. My son and myself are different. So we use all the STEM products in the house and they’ve been really helpful for us.”
The Neighborhood airs on CBS Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.
