Chris Rock’s animated adult series “Everybody Still Hates Chris” was greenlit Tuesday to run on Paramount+ and Comedy Central, an individual with knowledge of the move told TheWrap.
The show, which was ordered straight-to-series by MTV Entertainment Studios, reimagines the sitcom in an animated adult format.
Rock will return as a narrator and executive producer on the series and, like the original, will be based on the comedian’s teenage years. The half-hour animated series will feature “stories inspired by [Rock’s] experiences growing up as a skinny nerd in a large working class family in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, during the late 1980s.”
