‘Everybody Still Hates Chris’ Showrunner Digs Into Why The New Series Needed To Be Animated


In our current entertainment landscape chock full of reboots, revivals and reimaginings of successful IP, the one thing you don’t often see is a live-action series returning as an animated series.

But look no further than the current television unicorn, Comedy Central’s animated series Everybody Still Hates Chris which debuted this week. This iteration of the series continues to mine the plethora of stories about the formative years of comedian/actor Chris Rock in Bed–Stuy, Brooklyn.

This new medium revival, executive produced by Rock and showrun by Sanjay Shah (co-showrunner/executive producer, Central Park), picks up right where The CW series, Everybody Hates Chris, left off 15 years ago.
