Everybody Still Hates Chris is described as a “reimagining” of Rock’s semi-autobiographical family sitcom, which ran for four seasons across UPN and The CW from 2005-2009. The live-action series starred Tyler James Williams (Abbott Elementary) as Chris, Imani Hakim (Mythic Quest) as Tonya, Tequan Richmond (General Hospital) as Drew, Vincent Martella (Phineas and Ferb) as Greg, and the aforementioned Crews and Arnold as Chris’ parents.
“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.”
Everybody Still Hates Chris was first ordered to series in August 2022. A trailer has not yet been released.
