McGruder insists the Rice fracas has become a millstone.
McGruder has never divulged full details of his conversation with Rice, except for the fact that he called her a mass-murderer ('in a clever way') and that she requested he write her into The Boondocks. He finds himself face-to-face with America's national security adviser. The service is set to launch in spring 2020 and will feature originals and library content including The Big Bang Theory (which secured a massive payday for its first-ever streaming agreement), Game of Thrones, Friends and other shows and movies from WarnerMedia’s properties.Minutes later, he's mingling, when he feels a hand on his shoulder. The Boondocks is the second original animated series to land at HBO Max, joining a Gremlins prequel. McGruder will serve as showrunner and executive produce with Norm Aladjem for Mainstay Entertainment, Seung Kim and Meghann Collins Robertson. There’s a lot to say and it should be fun.” “It’s crazy how different the times we live in are now - both politically and culturally - more than a decade past the original series and two decades past the original newspaper comic. “There’s a unique opportunity to revisit the world of The Boondocks and do it over again for today,” said McGruder. (McGruder teased the story in a new comic strip earlier this year.) The new seasons will follow Robert “Granddad” Freeman and his two grandsons, Huey and Riley, as they move to an idyllic suburban community in Maryland - only to see it taken over by the tyrannical Uncle Ruckus and his bizarre neo-fascist regime. It will produce the show in partnership with Sony Pictures TV.īased on McGruder’s comic strip, The Boondocks debuted on Adult Swim in 2005 and aired four seasons (the last of which was made without McGruder’s involvement), ending in 2014. Sony Pictures Animation announced a reboot of the series in June at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival.
