Amber Stevens West has been tapped for a key recurring role opposite Sheaun McKinney in the upcoming eighth and final season of CBS' comedy series The Neighborhood.
West will play Mercedes. High-drama, high-maintenance, fabulous and self-absorbed, one of the stars on "Trophy Divas of Brentwood," Mercedes is all about Mercedes. She has hired Malcolm to ghost write her romance novel, but she's concerned that it's not smutty enough to please her fan base. But when she's not out in public, Mercedes is actually much more grounded and a savvy businesswoman, not the monster she plays on TV.
The Neighborhood stars Cedric the Entertainer as Calvin Butler, the unofficial mayor of his Pasadena (CA) neighborhood, where he lives with his loving wife, Tina, and next door to his two older sons, Malcolm (McKinney) and Marty (Marcel Spears). The show tells the story of the Butlers' unlikely friendship with their new(ish) neighbor, perpetual nice-guy Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield), his wife, Gemma (Beth Behrs), and their now-teenage son, Grover (Hank Greenspan). After seven years of sharing a front yard, the Johnsons have gone from neighborhood newcomers to full-on denizens, really becoming the best of friends with the Butlers (though Calvin won't admit it). The two families, who couldn't be more different, have realized they have much more in common than they ever thought they would.
Cast also includes Tichina Arnold and Skye Townsend.
Bill Martin, Mike Schiff, Aaron Kaplan, Wendi Trilling, Cedric the Entertainer and Eric Rhone executive produce. CBS Studios is the studio.
Season 8 of The Neighborhood premieres Oct. 13 at 8/7c on CBS.
West most recently starred in the action-thriller film To Get Her at BET+. Known best for her starring role on all three seasons of NBC's The Carmichael Show, West's additional TV credits include Krapopolis, Run The World and Ghosted, among others. She's repped by Red Baron Management and Felker Toczek Suddleson McGinnis Ryan LLP.
