Do you have a catalog of stories about a nightmare neighbor, or juicy gossip from your neighborhood?

If so, your story may be exactly what HBO is looking for.

The hit show is set to return for a second season, and producers are inviting people across the country to submit their stories.

NEIGHBORS presents real-life stories with nuanced details, documenting disputes as they unfold in real time and offering participants the opportunity to share their experiences on a national stage, according to HBO.

The show has seen a surge of submissions from the region following recent coverage in local media outlets.

Bloomfield residents Otis Alston and Nelson Santos were featured in Episode 5 of Season 1, which chronicled their clash over an annual Halloween decoration competition.

"We're looking for active stories of neighborly conflict in all its forms: disputes, neighborhood competitions, heated HOA elections, and even complicated romantic dynamics between neighbors. If it's happening next door, we want to hear about it," producers said in a press release.

Submissions for Season 2 can be made online by clicking here.
