‘Everybody Hates Chris’ Animated Spinoff Reveals First Look
Everybody Hates Chris Animated Spinoff revealed the first look at the new animated series at San Diego Comic-Con 2024. The spinoff of the popular 2000s comedy show “Everybody Hate Chris”, which originally starred Abbott Elementary’s Tyler James Williams, will premiere on Comedy Central later this year and stream on Paramount+.
Everybody Hates Chris was a comedic look at the life of Chris Rock. The series is based on Rock’s personal experiences as a teenager living in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York City from 1982 to 1987.
Everybody Hates Chris Animated Series Cast
Williams played young Chris in the original series but will not be part of the voice cast for the animated spinoff. Rock, however, will reprise his role as the show’s narrator and will also be an executive producer.
Live-action series stars Terry Crews and Tichina Arnold are part of the voice cast, reprising their roles as Chris’ parents, Julius and Rochelle Rock. Tim Johnson Jr. plays the voice of Chris, with Ozioma Akagha as Tania, Terrence Little Gardenhigh as Drew and Gunnar Sizemore as Greg. Like the original series, the reimagined version of the family sitcom is inspired by Rock’s time growing up in Brooklyn in the late 1980s.
Crews, Arnold, Johnson, Akagha, Gardenhigh and Sizemore attended the Everybody Still Hates Chris SDCC panel at the Indigo Ballroom on Saturday, July 27, which was also attended by executive producer and showrunner Sanjay Shah (King of the Hill, South Park, Central Park). According to Omlete, Shah said the original show’s stay in syndication gave the show new life. Also read – Robert Downey Jr. is back in the MCU, but not as a hero, but as a supervillain

Is Everybody’s Chris Over?
Yes, the American sitcom Everybody Hates Chris ended after four seasons and 88 episodes that aired from 2005 to 2009. Chris Rock, who developed the show based on his life in the 1980s, opted to end the show on his own terms before the network cancelled it due to declining ratings and a time slot change. The series finale included a cliffhanger that paid homage to The Sopranos and satisfied viewers.
Where can I watch the Everybody Hates Chris animated series?
The spinoff of the famous 2000s comedy will premiere on Comedy Central later this year and stream on Paramount+. You can watch the original series on Prime Video.
