Chris Rockthe beloved autobiographical family comedy series of 2005, Everyone hates Chrisis reinvented as an animated series titled Everyone still hates Chris. This was a fun series to watch when it aired many years ago, I enjoyed it and it’s pretty cool to know it will continue as an animated series!
The new show has received an order for the series from MTV Entertainment and will arrive on 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 the “experiences of Rock growing up as a skinny nerd in a large working-class family in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn in the late 1980s”.
