Chris Rock’s beloved autobiographical family sitcom "Everybody Hates Chris" is coming back as an animated series, with Rock expected to return as the narrator.

The animated take on the 2005 coming-of-age comedy would add to CBS’ growing portfolio of animated content, which started as an extension to existing live-action franchises "Star Trek" and "The Late Show" (with Our Cartoon President for Showtime and Stephen Colbert’s Tooning Out the News for Paramount+).

"Everybody Still Hates Chris", a reimagined animated version of Chris Rock’s beloved autobiographical family comedy "Everybody Hates Chris", has received a straight-to-series order by MTV Entertainment.

It will be windowed globally across streamer Paramount+ and sibling linear network Comedy Central. Rock is back as narrator and executive producer of the new series, which, like the original, is inspired by the comedian’s teenage years.




CBS Studios and 3 Arts Entertainment, which produced "Everybody Hates Chris" and originally developed the animated reboot, will produce with MTV Entertainment Studios, which has been ramping up its adult animation portfolio.

Sanjay Shah (South Park, Central Park) serves as showrunner and wrote the pilot script.




“Chris Rock is one of the most gifted comedians of all time and we’re excited to partner with him, 3 Arts and CBS Studios to bring this to life and welcome it as the next big hit in our expanding arsenal of iconic adult animation that includes smash series such as South Park and the new Beavis and Butt-Head,” said Chris McCarthy, President/CEO, Paramount Media Networks & MTV Entertainment Studios.
