The Boondocks Thread

[RockSP]

Season 3 was awesome to me. I dont really care if their is social commentary. Sure once in a while is good but I wouldnt want a full season full of social commentary episodes.

Well social commentary is pretty much what The Boondocks is about.

Oh yeah, there is one thing that NEEDS to happen. Caesar needs to be in season 4 dammit!

Yep.

‘The Boondocks’ Season 4 Is In The Works

Voice casting director Andrea Romano tells us that the long-delayed season 4 of ‘The Boondocks’ is officially headed into production.

To say that The Boondocks isn’t your average cartoon would be a huge understatement. The adult-themed animated show – based on the comic strip of the same name by Aaron McGruder – has skillfully and raucously skewered everything from urban culture, politics, religion, and hip-hop, to racism, misogyny, social media, movies, and of course, celebrities.

Over its three-season run on Cartoon Network, The Boondocks has earned a Peabody award and garnered smash ratings for the network (the season 3 premiere drew 2.5 million viewers despite a two-year hiatus between seasons 2 and 3).

For a long time it was said that The Boondocks would be finished after season 3 – much to the dismay of the show’s fiercely loyal fanbase. Many viewers (and even some celebrities) have since voiced their desire to see The Boondocks return for season 4, and there have been some rumblings from the direction of the show’s cast of voice actors, which suggested that fans’ wishes might be fulfilled.

While attending Comic-Con 2011 we had a chance to sit down with legendary voice casting director Andrea Romano (Batman: The Animated Series, Animaniacs, SpongeBob SquarePants, Avatar: The Last Airbender). We were discussing her work on the upcoming animated feature Batman: Year One, when we got some truly awesome news:

The Boondocks season 4 is officially headed into production.

Here’s how it went: Romano was discussing the face that she’s worked with various big studios – including Sony, the studio behind The Boondocks cartoon series. Very little gets by yours truly, and in the midst of Romano’s speech I noticed see was referring to her work on The Boondocks in the PRESENT TENSE, rather than the past tense. I couldn’t just let that slip by, so I asked Romano if indeed she was getting back to work casting and directing new voices for The Boondocks season 4, to which she responded:

They’re making new ones – I just got word they’re gonna make another season. Can you believe it? After all this time. It’s been out of production for almost two years…The line producer sent me an email and said ‘I believe it’s snowing in hell – do you know what that means?’ and I said, ‘Are we making more episodes?’ Because we all said ‘It’ll snow in hell before we make more,’ because we just never thought after that much time they would [make it]. But apparently there is a fanbase desire and I love the show. I love making the show.
​

So there you have it: Huey, Riley, Grandad and the gang will be back! Of course we still don’t know when the show will actually make it back onto the airwaves, but if past seasons are any indication, they’ll need a while to get things together.

We’ll keep you posted about the status of The Boondocks season 4 as more info gets released. In the meantime, better keep an eye out for more breaking news on our Comic-Con 2011 Coverage Page.

*stands on the table and starts a chant for Caesar*

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I'm guessing (or hoping) next April. Maybe they'll do a Curb Your Enthusiasm type thing and do a season every other year.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

They must have crazy dvd sales. I'm not surprised they convinced the creators to come back.

The Boondocks is one of the last great black tv shows. Now if they can only bring back the Chappelle Show.

 

[MadVillainy]

Not just great black tv shows. I think it's one of the best tv shows period. Definitely my favorite of the adult cartoons

 

[Teelie]

It reminds me of the less controversial Venture Brothers in its long gaps between seasons and production time. I like both but the inconsistent gaps between seasons is absurd.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Not just great black tv shows. I think it's one of the best tv shows period. Definitely my favorite of the adult cartoons

I'm just pointing out how rare good black entertainment is.

But yes The Boondocks is a classic show, black or not.

 

[Casius--J]

Ahhhh so its been confirmed now? I saw that radio interview with John Witherspoon where he mentioned it would return but I was cautious to believe it entirely. This is GREAT news, I really love this show and indeed its one of the best adult cartoons PERIOD.

Some great toons heading our way too, Black Dynamite, Beavis and Butthead coming back and Napoleon Dynamite too lol

MF: Will "Boondocks" ever return to TV in some kind of format?

AM: I'm just going to have to pass on that question. [Laughs]

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I'm pretty sure John Witherspoon confirmed there would be a season 4 awhile back.

 

[gkokujin]

Yeah, on the Rickey Smiley show last fall he said they were already recording the voices.

 

[Lencho01]

I just thought it was weird how everyone else said it was still on, but he avoided the question.

 

[Ajendo]

So is season 4 happening or what??

 

[ace69]

It is happening. But for now we'll have to do with the Black Dynamite cartoon.

 

[Spidey220987]

"Judo flip, chop chop chop"

 

[Ajendo]

Cant wait for season 4. Just been rewatching the previous seasons and forgot how awesome this show is. Just watched the chocolate episode and that Eff you speech from Riley to the British guy was epic.

 

[ShredderX]

So they are doing a season 4 ? GREAT !!!

 

[Lencho01]

It's officially announced...

[ThePowerCosmic]

When the hell is season 4 coming out? I hate how long it always takes them.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I'm just happy it's coming out.

Waiting long is better than no more episodes.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

True, true... Having confirmation on Season 4 is the next best thing, I guess.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Ruckus is hilarious and so is grand-dad and they always have the best guest stars for voice overs

 

[CrypticOne]

Great show. Can't wait for Season Four.
