A24’s ‘Neighbors’ Premieres on HBO With a Stark Look at America’s Property Fights

A24’s first unscripted series on HBO draws early praise for connecting small conflicts to larger social currents.

Overview

  • Neighbors debuted Feb. 13 on HBO and HBO Max at 9 p.m. PT, with new episodes rolling out on Friday nights.
  • Created and directed by Harrison Fishman and Dylan Redford, the six-part series counts Josh Safdie, Ronald Bronstein and Eli Bush as executive producers with A24 backing.
  • The docuseries stitches together participant-supplied surveillance footage with on-the-ground interviews to show how cameras and online audiences escalate disputes.
  • Cases span the U.S., including clashes over beach access in Florida, a blocked road and fences in rural Montana, an urban farm fight in Indiana and a near-nudity complaint in San Diego.
  • Deadline reports the show is part of A24’s broader unscripted push, including a Netflix competition project based on Overcooked and talks with major broadcast networks led by Head of Unscripted Jonathan Hausfater.
