With all that’s been going on with veteran comedic actor Chris Rock following Slapgate, it’s almost easy to forget that he’s still in fact a working actor.
However, the both Emmy and GRAMMY-winning star is ready to remind us all of his stature as a pillar in Hollywood by reviving one of the most popular projects in his career, the hit series Everybody Hates Chris.
Adding an animated twist to the new reboot, the project is slated to now be titled Everybody Still Hates Chris with Rock narrating once again. According to Deadline, MTV Entertainment will be at the helm of production and air concurrently on the Paramount+ streaming service and on network television via Comedy Central. The outlet states that Everybody Still Hates Chris will be branded as “adult animation” to help flesh out similar projects on the horizon like Andy Samberg’s Digman!, the Daria spinoff Jodie starring Tracee Ellis Ross, film/TV reboots of Beavis and Butt-Head and the ever-classic Comedy Central mainstay South Park.
