Tichina Arnold, Terry Crews and Chris Rock are all set to return for the Everybody Hates Chris animated series.
The reimagined animated version of the show is airing on Comedy Central later this year.
Chris Rock will still narrate the series which is inspired by his experience growing up Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, during the late 1980s. Crews return as the voice of Julius, who plays Chris’ cheap father. Arnold will return as the voice of Rochelle, Chris’ mother.
“Chris Rock is one of the most gifted comedians of all time and we’re excited to partner with him, 3 Arts and CBS Studios to bring this to life and welcome it as the next big hit in our expanding arsenal of iconic adult animation,” Chris McCarthy, President/CEO of Paramount Media Networks & MTV Entertainment Studios, said in a previous statement.
Added CBS president/CEO George Cheeks: “A reimagining of this groundbreaking, critically acclaimed series has been a source of creative discussions at our studio for a long time. It’s exciting to join forces with 3 Arts and the comedic genius of Chris Rock as he expands on his vision of the original show in this innovative new format. This also marks another significant in-house collaboration for CBS with Chris McCarthy and our valued partners at MTV Entertainment Studios as we jointly support this marquee series for Paramount+ and Comedy Central.”
New cast members, Tim Johnson Jr., Ozioma Akagha, Terrence Little Gardenhigh, and Gunnar Sizemore will be joining the show.
