The series premiered on Novemand was created by Aaron McGruder, based upon McGruder’s comic strip of the same name. THE BOONDOCKS is an edgy, in-your-face comedy brimming with stinging social commentary and biting satire. The beloved animated comedy originally ran for four seasons from 2005-2014 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block, although the fourth and final season was produced without McGruder's involvement. It was announced back in 2019 that HBO Max had picked up The Boondocks reboot for a two-season order, with each of the 'reimagined' seasons locked in with 24 episodes that would once again follow.

The main characters are young siblings Huey and Riley Freeman.The two are quite different - Huey is politically informed, well-read, and hyper-intelligent, while his little brother Riley is obsessed with rap music and hip-hop culture. Riley Freeman is targeted after using a homophobic slur (the word " gay" ) at a kid dancing, which becomes viral, then Robert and Rollo Goodlove tell the protesters that Riley uses. The madhat behind the whole Boondocks creation, Aaron McGruder may not be. "There's a unique opportunity to revisit the world of The Boondocks and do it over again for today," McGruder said in a statement at the time of the announcement.
