The series was slated to premiere in 2022 on HBO Max, but on February 2, 2022, Cedric Yarbrough confirmed that Sony cancelled the revival, leaving the series dead once again. Just a few months later in June 2019, it was officially announced that a "reimagining" of the animated series was in development at Sony Pictures Animation, with McGruder also returning to produce. In February 2019, Aaron McGruder and Seung Eun Kim created some new comic strips satirizing the state of American politics and pop culture at the time.
Aaron McGruder has also expressed an interest in making a video game adaptation. A fourth season was produced without McGruder, due to work on Black Jesus and conflicts with the network.Īfter season 3, there were aborted plans to give Uncle Ruckus a live-action feature film via Kickstarter however, the project failed to receive enough funding. The first three seasons of the series were made with Aaron McGruder's direct involvement, with season 3 originally announced as the show's last. Rather than just overt social commentary, the series's brand of humor is far more over-the-top, with the Freemans constantly getting into wacky misadventures with weird people, along with the obligatory martial arts action scene. Like the comic strip, this series satirizes many issues about African Americans and the United States in general, but takes a different approach to it. Compared to the comic strip, there's a considerably larger cast of strange and colorful characters, both recurring and one-time. Also returning is Tom Dubois (Cedric Yarbrough), a very friendly yet hapless black lawyer with a white wife Sarah (Jill Talley) and a mixed daughter Jazmine (Gabby Soleil). Other important characters include Uncle Ruckus ( Gary Anthony Williams), an old black man who has a deep hatred of his own race. Their grandfather Robert Freeman (John Witherspoon) is a Grumpy Old Man who is quite likely too senile for his own good, and can usually be found chasing younger women. His younger brother Riley Freeman (also King) is a troublemaking delinquent who idolizes gangsta rappers. The main protagonist and narrator is Huey Freeman ( Regina King), a preteen radical leftist activist who despite his extreme politics, is usually depicted as the lone voice of reason. Like the comic strip, this series focused on the lives of the Freemans, a black family from inner city Chicago who move into the mostly white suburb of Woodcrest, Maryland. The series ran intermittently for four seasons, broadcast from 2005 to 2014 on. The Boondocks is an animated comedy series produced by Sony Pictures Television based on the newspaper comic strip of the same name that was created by Aaron McGruder, who serves as the executive producer and main writer.
