Chris Rock's EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS Will Continue as an Animated Series

Chris Rock’s beloved 2005 autobiographical family comedy series, Everybody Hates Chris, is being reimagined as an animated series titled Everybody Still Hates Chris. This was a fun series to watch when it was airing all those years ago, I enjoyed it and it’s pretty cool to learn that it’s going to continue as an animated series!

The new show has received a straight-to-series order by MTV Entertainment and it will be coming to Paramount+ and Comedy Central.

Rock will return to narrate the series and executive produce the project, which is inspired by the comedian’s teenage years. The stories will be based on Rock’s “experiences growing up as a skinny nerd in a large working-class family in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, during the late 1980s.”

Sanjay Shah (South Park, Central Park) serves as showrunner and wrote the pilot script for the series. Chris McCarthy, President/CEO, Paramount Media Networks & MTV Entertainment Studios, said in a statement: “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 that includes smash series such as South Park and the new Beavis and Butt-Head.”

George Cheeks, president and CEO of CBS, added: “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.”
