Exclusive: Tichina Arnold Talks The Neighborhood Season 2 & Filming During Pandemic Times

For over 30 years, Tichina Arnold has been on the big and small screen, entertaining audiences with laughter and wisdom in each of the roles she’s had and she continues to do so today as Tina on the CBS comedy series The Neighborhood.

Now in its second season, THE NEIGHBORHOOD stars Cedric the Entertainer, Max Greenfield, Beth Behrs, Tichina Arnold, Sheaun McKinney, Marcel Spears and Hank Greenspan. Executive producers are Jim Reynolds, Aaron Kaplan, Dana Honor, Wendi Trilling, Cedric the Entertainer and Eric Rhone.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD stars Cedric the Entertainer in a comedy about what happens when the friendliest guy in the Midwest moves his family to a neighborhood in Los Angeles where not everyone looks like him or appreciates his extreme neighborliness. Dave Johnson is a good-natured professional conflict negotiator. When his wife, Gemma, gets a job as a school principal in L.A., they move from Michigan with their young son, Grover, unfazed that their new dream home is located in a community quite different than their small town. Their opinionated next-door neighbor, Calvin Butler, is wary of the newcomers, certain that the Johnsons will disrupt the culture on the block.

BlackFilmandTV.com’s Wilson Morales recently caught up with Arnold as she talks about this season, from filming during these pandemic times to the storylines that reflect what today’s society.
