THE BOONDOCKS, the new Adult Swim original series based on Aaron McGruders award-winning and politically charged comic strip of the same name, was moved from an early October debut to now premiere on Nov. 6, 2005, at 11:00 pm on Adult Swim, Cartoon Networks late-night sister network showcasing animation for adults.
In THE BOONDOCKS, when Robert Granddad Freeman becomes legal guardian of his rambunctious grandkids, he moves from the south side of Chicago to the quiet and safety of suburban Woodcrest, hoping that he can ignore them altogether and enjoy the fourth quarter of his life in peace. But Huey, a 10-year-old left wing revolutionary, refuses to enjoy the affluence of suburbia. His eight-year-old brother, Riley, a proud product of contemporary rap culture, shares Hueys convictions.
McGruder serves as creator and exec producer of THE BOONDOCKS. Regina King (RAY, MISS CONGENIALTY 2) provides the voice of both Huey and Riley Freeman. John Witherspoon (FRIDAY AFTER NEXT) is the voice of Granddad. The series is produced by Rebel Base and Hudlin Ent. in association with Sony Pictures Television. Fifteen episodes are in production.
