The series is credited as "Based on the novel by Tommy Wiseau" although no novel was ever released to the public before or since the release of the first episode. A similar thing happened with Wiseau's film The Room (2003) where the director claimed to have written the story as a play and novel before making the film.
Wiseau Films was committed to twelve episodes with Hulu. Only six were ever produced and released. The short-lived series has since been removed from Hulu and remains unavailable, as of 2024.
Since 2014, at Q&A screenings of Tommy Wiseau held by Tommy Wiseau the first episode of The Neighbors (2014) is screened beforehand. By 2015, he was using a "best of" episode featuring random clips from all of season one.
