As you’ve probably heard already, the Peabody Award winning series, The Boondocks returns in about a month from today for a brand new season. The show wrapped up its third season in 2010 and now, after four years, the Freeman family is back for one last run on Swim. The teaser:
The fourth season was made entirely without the involvement of series creator Aarom McGruder. The Adult Swim press release about season 4 says it was because the two parties couldn’t figure out a production schedule they could agree on (but don’t worry, McGruder and Swim are still friends, as evidenced by the Black Jesus pickup news). But, the show returns after four years, and will, hopefully, be just as funny, action-packed, and important as it has been since it began almost 10 years ago.
From the Turner Newsroom press release about the season, a sneak peek at what you’re in for this season:
The new season finds Huey, Riley and Granddad encountering a roster of characters, both new and familiar, in uproarious situations, including Granddad’s dating a long lost Kardashian sister; their friend Tom DuBois acting as R&B bad boy “Pretty Boy Flizzy’s” lawyer in exchange for relationship advice; Granddad’s love affair with Siri on his new iPhone; and the Freemans’ foray into the lethal black market of the hair-care industry à la “Breaking Bad.” Throughout the final season, an eclectic mix of hip-hop artists, actors, comedians and media personalities will voice guest characters on the series, including Jenifer Lewis (Think Like a Man), Dennis Haysbert (24), Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, Ghostface Killah, CeeLo, Lil Wayne, Donald Faison (Scrubs), Aisha Tyler (Balls of Fury), Kym Whitley (Reno 911!), Tichina Arnold (Everybody Hates Chris), Mo’Nique (The Parkers), Marion Ross (Happy Days), Tavis Smiley, Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Bill Duke (X-Men: The Last Stand), and Cedric the Entertainer (Talk to Me). Reprising their guest roles from last season are Xzibit, Charlie Murphy, MTV’s Sway and Katt Williams, among others.
It sounds just as good as ever so it’s something to definitely look forward to come April 21st at 10:30 PM.
