Comedy Central to Premiere 'Everybody Still Hates Chris' on September 25

COMEDY CENTRAL’S HIGHLY ANTICIPATED ADULT ANIMATED SERIES EVERYBODY STILL HATES CHRIS TO PREMIERE WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25TH at 10PM ET/PT

Produced By CBS Studios, the New Star-Studded Adult Animation Revival Starring Chris Rock is also Produced by His Banner, Chris Rock Enterprises

Everybody Still Hates Chris

New York, NY – (August 26, 2024) – Comedy Central today announced the premiere date of its highly anticipated adult animated series, Everybody Still Hates Chris.  The reimagined series starring and executive produced by Chris Rock premieres Wednesday, September 25 at 10pm ET/PT.  Terry Crews and Tichina Arnold also star alongside Tim Johnson Jr., Ozioma Akagha, Terrence Little Gardenhigh, and Gunnar Sizemore.  The series is produced by CBS Studios and Chris Rock Enterprises, in association with 3 Arts Entertainment.  

Everybody Still Hates Chris will feature Chris Rock (“Rustin,” “Fargo”) as “Adult Chris,” narrating stories inspired by his experience growing up as a skinny nerd in a large working-class family in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, during the late 1980s.  Terry Crews (“America’s Got Talent”, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) will voice “Julius,” Chris’ father who is a gentle giant with a relentless work ethic, and tightwad approach to life. He grew up dirt poor, so he knows the cost of everything down to the penny. He works two jobs to support the family, and on his days off, he takes on a third job. Tichina Arnold (“The Neighborhood”) will voice “Rochelle,” Chris’ mother who is smart, strong-willed, and has a nurturing spirit, but she can also be hot-headed, especially when it comes to her kids. She tolerates zero nonsense, so she quits more jobs in a month than most people do in a lifetime.

In addition to the cast of the original series “Everybody Hates Chris,” Tim Johnson Jr. (“Saturdays”) will voice “Young Chris,” a nerd who wants to be cool but he’s outshined by his younger brother, tortured by his little sister, and foiled by his cheapskate dad; Ozioma Akagha (“DELILAH”) will voice “Tonya,” Chris’ feisty baby sister, with the face of an angel and the heart of a demon, who gets along with her middle brother Drew but leaps at any chance to get Chris in trouble; Terrence Little Gardenhigh (“Danger Force”) will voice “Drew,” the golden child of the family who is the epitome of Black Excellence: handsome, athletic, a ladies man, taller and cooler than his older brother Chris; and Gunnar Sizemore (“Kung Fu Panda”) will voice “Greg,” Chris’s only friend at school who is girl-obsessed, status conscious and raised by a single dad.

“Everybody Hates Chris,” Chris Rock’s autobiographical, critically-acclaimed family series, ran for four seasons on UPN then the CW from 2005 – 2009.  The series won a NAACP Image Award for its writing in 2007 and was also nominated for a Golden Globe and several Emmy Awards.  All four seasons of the original series are available to stream on Paramount+ (head to ParamountPlus.com for a Julius-approved free trial).  

Chris Rock

Everybody Still Hates Chris is produced by CBS’ Eye Animation Productions, CBS Studios’ animation arm. Alongside Chris Rock of Chris Rock Enterprises, showrunner Sanjay Shah (“Central Park”); Ali LeRoi; and Michael Rotenberg and Dave Becky of 3 Arts Entertainment will executive produce. Titmouse (“Big Mouth”) serves as the animation studio for the series with Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio and Ben Kalina serving as executive producers. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution outside of the Comedy Central footprint.

Curfew | Official Trailer | Paramount+ UK & Ireland

It kept women safe. Until it didn’t.
 
In a world where men live under a strict curfew, a woman’s murder during curfew challenges the system. Can Detective Pamela uncover the truth? Starring Sarah Parish, Mandip Gill and Alexandra Burke.
 
New original series Curfew, streaming 10 October exclusively on Paramount+ UK & Ireland

An adaptation of Jayne Cowie’s Novel After Dark, the series is set in an alternative reality where all men live under ‘The Women’s Safety Act’, bound by a strict curfew from 7PM to 7AM every night with their movements tracked by an ankle tag 24 hours a day. When a woman’s body is discovered brutally murdered during curfew hours and left on the steps of the Women’s Safety Centre, veteran Police officer Pamela Green (Sarah Parish) believes that a man is responsible. But in a world where men are bound by the curfew system, her theory is rejected. The introduction of The Women’s Safety Act almost three years ago is widely considered as effective at protecting women, who have been able to go out at night without looking over their shoulders, and nobody wants to hear different.

If Pamela proves a man committed this murder, it could bring The Women’s Safety Act crashing down… people in high places are determined to make the curfew a success and will do all it takes to prevent Pamela from discovering the truth.

Previously released photos, below, see Sarah Parish (Stay Close) in action for the first time as lead investigator Pamela Green, alongside Mitchell Robertson (Mayflies) who is rookie cop Eddie, shadowing Pamela on his first murder investigation. Mandip Gill (Doctor Who) joins the cast as Sarah, an employee at the local Women’s Safety Centre at the heart of Pamela and Eddie’s investigation. Alexandra Burke (Sister Act), winner of the fifth series of The X Factor (UK), joins the cast as Helen, a well intentioned local school teacher,  advocator for the curfew and close friend of Sarah’s.

Rounding out the cast for the series is Lucy Benjamin (Detectorists), Larry Lamb (Gavin and Stacey), Bobby Brazier (EastEnders), Anita Dobson (EastEnders) Tommy McDonnell (Alice & Jack), Adam Korson (This Is Us), Amy Louise Pemberton (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow), Imogen Sandhu (Casualty), James Craven (Coronation Street), Selorm Adonu (Man to Man) and newcomer Raphael D’Alterio. Further imagery will be released at a later date.

Joasia Goldyn (Britannia) is the Series Director, whilst Lydia Yeoman (The Haze) is the lead writer. Joining Yeoman in the writing team is Jess Green (EastEnders), who will write episode three and Sumerah Srivastav (Manifest) will write episode five. Allan Niblo, Jane Moore and Nathalie Peter-Contesse are Executive Producers on the series for Vertigo Films. John Adams (Damaged) serves as Producer with Diane Shorthouse (Cyberbully) as Co-Producer.

The series was commissioned by Sebastian Cardwell, Deputy Chief Content Officer, UK, and Paul Testar for Paramount+, and the series will debut on the service in the UK this Autumn, whilst Federation Studios will handle global sales. 

Curfew joins a rosta of UK scripted originations for Paramount+, including The Flatshare, Sexy Beast, A Gentleman In Moscow and Insomnia.
