The trailer for HBO’s new late-night series Neighbors teases a wild and wacky look at real neighbors who push the limits and cause problems. The six-episode season from A24 and the producers of Marty Supreme will premiere on February 13, 2026. 

New episodes air on Fridays at 9pm ET/PT.

HBO’s synopsis reads: “Neighbors examines stories of absurd, outrageous, and dramatic real-life residential conflicts from a wide range of larger-than-life characters across the United States, opening a verité portal into the lives of contemporary Americans. Each episode introduces a new set of neighbors in the heat of their grievances, uncovering spirited disputes about property lines, animal ownership, and even a yellow Speedo.

Directors and emerging talents Harrison Fishman and Dylan Redford filmed for over two years, traveling across the country and fully immersing themselves in these neighbors’ lives to capture an unfiltered and intimate portrait of everyday people and document the fundamentally American pursuits of life, liberty, and property.”

In a Q&A promoting the series, executive producers/directors Dylan Redford and Harrison Fishman explained the appeal of a series focusing on neighborhood disputes.

“Neighbor relationships are really interesting. Neighbors aren’t family or friends, nor can you pick them. There is a cosmic random destiny to what brings two people to live next to each other. These seemingly different people can have surprising similarities. It is something like a chemical reaction when these people come together—with an outcome you can’t predict. 

We have been obsessed with videos of people in conflict online for a long time. A few years ago, Harrison’s brother, Sam, started sharing neighbor-to-neighbor fight videos from around the country with us. They were fascinating, gripping, unfiltered, and honest. The conflict, no matter how small, always felt so big. 

Everyone has a phone with a video camera constantly documenting their lives, surveilling the people around them. On top of that, there’s no formal way for law enforcement to handle neighbor disputes other than suggesting you document everything. So, whether it’s for social clout or a civil case, whoever holds the camera holds the power, ‘if I filmed it, I must be right.’ They often film for proof and accountability. But more often than not, like body camera or surveillance footage, these videos raise more questions than they answer.”

Additional executive producers include A24, Josh Safdie, Eli Bush, Ronald Bronstein, and JP Lopez Ali for Central Pictures.
