Skye Townsend Upped to Series Regular on CBS’ ‘The Neighborhood’
Skye Townsend, who starred in HBO variety series “A Black Lady Sketch Show” alongside comics Robin Thede, Ashley Nicole Black and Gabrielle Dennis among others, has been upped to series regular on CBS’ “The Neighborhood.”
The sitcom follows a white Midwestern family who moves into a predominately Black neighborhood in Pasadena, Calif. The show, which is entering its seventh season this fall, returns Oct. 21 on the Eye network. It stars Max Greenfield, Cedric the Entertainer, Beth Behrs and more.
Townsend plays Courtney, Marty Butler’s (Marcel Spears) partner, exploring co-parenting life. She is described as “very smart, very cool, very outgoing” with a sense of humor. “Courtney worked with Marty at JPL and he’s recently hired her as an electrical engineer at The Fuse Box. A year ago, they hooked up, and now Marty and Courtney are parents of a beautiful baby girl. But even though they’re devoted co-parents, they have made it very clear that they are not a couple.”
Townsend joined “A Black Lady Sketch Show” in 2021, and was a part of its main cast for Seasons 3 and 4. The variety show, which was cancelled in July 2023, featured comedy sketches and boasted guest stars like Issa Rae, Angela Bassett, Laverne Cox, Gabrielle Union and more.
The actor and musician has appeared in movies like MTV’s “Pretty Stoned,” “A Christmas Serenade,” “Christmas Party Crashers” and more. She has also previously appeared on the Paramount+ “iCarly” reboot, “Party Crashers” for BET+, Netflix’s “Lucifer” and on an episode of “Family Guy.”
She is repped by Defining Artists, Color Creative and The Nord Group.
