As a gamer who grew up with the iconic show “Everybody Hates Chris,” the news of its animated reboot has sent me into a state of sheer excitement! I vividly remember watching the series finale back in 2009, and that cliffhanger about Chris’ G.E.D results left me hanging for answers. Now, to find out what happens next is like hitting level-up on my nostalgia meter!
The classic comedy series Everybody Hates Chris is returning with a twist – an animated reboot titled Everybody Still Hates Chris. This new version will air on Comedy Central and continue the storylines from Chris Rock’s fictionalized childhood, as depicted in the original show. There has been speculation about whether the revival would connect directly with its predecessor. However, it was recently announced that the animated series will continue the narrative from the final episode of the original sitcom in an unexpected manner. I can’t wait to see how this unfolds!
What Happened In Everybody Hates Chris’ Series Finale?
In 2009, the TV series starring Tyler James Williams, titled “Everybody Hates Chris,” concluded after four seasons on UPN and The CW. The final episode, titled “Everybody Hates the G.E.D.,” focuses on the character Chris. Faced with the possibility of having to repeat the 10th grade, he decides instead to leave high school and earn his General Educational Development (GED) certificate to secure employment. Upon sharing his plans with his mother Rochelle and father Julius, they offer their support, and Chris proceeds to take the GED test.
In a playful homage to the ending of The Sopranos, the final scene in EBHC unfolds at a diner where Chris gathers with his family for a meal. Julius presents Chris’ GED test results, and Rochelle carefully opens the envelope. Curious to learn if he passed, Chris asks her, but before she can answer, the screen fades to black.
Man, that ending was a real nail-biter! At the moment it dropped, I was hooked, craving for more explanations. I bet I wasn’t alone in feeling this way. Well, here’s some good news: The new season will dive straight into resolving those lingering questions. But remember, not everything may unfold exactly as fans might have envisioned.
How Does Everybody Still Hates Chris Pick Up From Its Predecessor’s Finale?
In a recent conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Sanjay Shah, the mastermind behind the revamped animated series of “Chris,” revealed some intriguing details about the new show. During this interview, he clarified that the storyline continues directly from the original series. According to Shah, in this continuation, it is revealed that Chris fails his G.E.D., leading to a harsh reprimand from Rochelle that results in him and his entire world transforming into 2D animation. This unique idea was part of Shah’s proposal to Chris Rock.
That was among the initial few phrases I used when I first encountered Chris. ( Chris was introduced to me with those words during our first meeting.)
Among my queries, the most significant is whether viewers will get to witness a reenactment of the series finale of Everybody Hates Chris, focusing on the iconic slap scene. Apart from that, I’m thrilled to learn that the animated version of the show will further develop this storyline. Frankly, I can’t imagine a more fitting move for the franchise as it transitions into animation. Bravo to Sanjay Shah for such an innovative concept!
The creative group appears eager to dive back into this amusing portrayal of 1980s Brooklyn. In 2022, Chris Rock voiced his anticipation on social platforms with a straightforward “can’t wait.” Alongside him are original franchise members Tichina Arnold and Terry Crews, who once again take on their characters Rochelle and Julius. For Crews, this reunion feels like returning home, expressing that the atmosphere was familiar yet comforting.
I’m eagerly anticipating the outcomes of the cast and team’s efforts, particularly that “animated transformation” scene. Catch the premiere of Everybody Still Hates Chris on Wednesday, September 25 at 10 p.m. ET within this year’s TV lineup. If you possess a Paramount+ subscription, you can stream the show live, and it’s completely free on Pluto TV and Tubi.
