The continuing — and now animated — story of Chris Rock’s life will return to TV in September.

Comedy Central has set a Sept. 25 premiere date for Everybody Still Hates Chris, an animated series based on the UPN/CW sitcom Everybody Hates Chris. The cable network has also released a first look at the animated Rock family (which is at the top of this page).

As with the live-action comedy, which ran from 2005-09, Everybody Still Hates Chris will feature Rock narrating stories from his life growing up in Brooklyn. Tichina Arnold and Terry Crews will reprise their roles as Rochelle and Julius, Chris’ parents. Tim Johnson Jr. plays the young Chris, and Terrence Little Gardenhigh and Ozioma Akagha voice his siblings, Drew and Tonya. Gunnar Sizemore plays Greg, Chris’ only friend at school.

CBS Studios (via its animation arm, Eye Animation Productions) produces the series with Chris Rock Enterprises and 3 Arts Entertaiment. The studio began developing the show in 2021, and Comedy Central placed a series order in 2022.

Everybody Still Hates Chris will join the long-running South Park and Digman!, which has been renewed for a second season, on Comedy Central’s roster of animated shows. Rock executive produces with showrunner Sanjay Shah (Apple’s Central Park); Ali LeRoi, co-creator of the original series; Michael Rotenberg and Dave Becky of 3 Arts Entertainment; and hris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio and Ben Kalina of animation studio Titmouse.
