Comedy Central’s ‘Everybody Still Hates Chris’ Series Gets September Premiere Date (TV News Roundup)

As a cinephile who has spent countless hours immersed in the rich tapestry of television and film, I must say that the upcoming premiere of “Everybody Still Hates Chris” has me buzzing with excitement! The original series was not only critically acclaimed but also deeply resonant, capturing the essence of a unique time and place. With Chris Rock back in the driver’s seat, I have no doubt that this reimagined take will deliver all the laughs and heartfelt moments we’ve come to expect.


Comedy Central has revealed the premiere date of its adult animated series “Everybody Still Hates Chris.”  The series, starring and executive produced by Chris Rock, will premiere Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 10 p.m. ET.

“Everybody Still Hates Chris” offers a fresh perspective on the critically acclaimed and autobiographical family series based on Rock’s life, which aired for four seasons on UPN, then The CW, between 2005 and 2009.

The main cast features Terry Crews, Tichina Arnold, and Tim Johnson Jr., who was in “Fright Krewe,” as well as Ozioma Akagha from “Delilah,” Terrence Little Gardenhigh from “Danger Force,” and Gunnar Sizemore, known for his role in “Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny.”

In this upcoming series, “Chris Rock” (known for roles like ‘Rustin’ and ‘Fargo’) will portray ‘Adult Chris,’ who shares tales based on his life as a skinny, nerdy kid from a big working-class family in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, during the 1980s’ late period.

“The TV series ‘Everybody Still Hates Chris’ is jointly produced by CBS Studios, Chris Rock Enterprises (Chris Rock’s banner), and 3 Arts Entertainment. Sanjay Shah (‘Central Park’), Ali LeRoi, Michael Rotenberg, and Dave Becky from 3 Arts Entertainment will serve as executive producers, along with Chris Rock.”

Titmouse Studio (“Wide-Mouthed” Animation) is set to produce the upcoming series. Additionally, Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina will all take on executive producer roles in this project.
