Special Announcement:
The Boondocks reboot in the works with original series creator
https://ew.com/tv/2019/06/12/the-boondocks-reboot-aaron-mcgruder/
Love for The Boondocks is still very much alive. So, Sony is bringing the Freeman family back to television.
A complete re-imagining of The Boondocks for the modern era is in development from original series creator Aaron McGruder, the studio announced Wednesday morning at the 2019 Annecy International Animated Film Festival.
Based on his comic strip of the same name, McGruders The Boondocks premiered in November 2005 on Cartoon Networks late-night programming block Adult Swim. The comic launched in 1996. The reboot, a satire for the modern era, is said to chronicle the adventures of the Freeman family against the evil local government tyrant Uncle Ruckus, who rules the fictional Woodcrest County, Maryland with an iron fist.
***
In February, McGruder resurrected his Boondocks comic strip to poke fun at the state of America in 2019. As shown in a series of Instagram posts shared by radio host Charlamagne Tha God, it featured characters Huey, Riley, Granddad, and Uncle Ruckus, as well as satirical takes on President Donald Trump and the Robert Mueller investigation.
