Exclusive: Skye Townsend (Black Lady Sketch Show) has joined the cast of the CBS comedy The Neighborhood for Season 6 in a recurring role. The show returns with new episodes on February 12.
Townsend’s character Courtney is loosely based on Sarah Francis Jones, girlfriend of The Neighborhood star Marcel Spears, and her real-life experience going into labor at a Beyoncé Renaissance concert.
Courtney is described as very smart—she entered MIT at 16 and worked at Jpl before 21— very cool, very outgoing and with a great sense of humor. She worked with Marty (Spears) at Jpl and he’s recently hired her as an electrical engineer at The Fuse Box. A few months back, they hooked up and now Courtney is pregnant. She’s very upfront about the fact that she likes Marty, but she won’t marry him.
Additionally, Kevin Pollak will also return in Season 6 as Dave Johnson’s (Max Greenfield) father.

The stoner comedy market has always been cornered by men until now with MTV’s original movie aptly titled Pretty Stoned. Pretty Vee and Paris Berelc star as co-workers Stella and Darcy who find themselves in hot water after one of them disposes of $20,000 worth of high-end product down the toilet as revenge. Now they have to deal with the repercussions of drug Queen Pin Madame X and her enforcer Tik Tock, played by Brandee Evans. For Evans, the role in the stoner comedy is a nice departure from viewers who know her as Mercedes on the drama P-Valley. Ahead of the film’s 4/20 eve premiere, we caught up with the actress. How does it feel to be in a female-led stoner comedy? Brandee Evans: In my best Lizzo voice I say it’s about damn time. I’m very excited MTV is allowing us to do this under their development.
