‘The Boondocks’ Renewed For Season 4

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

The Boondocks has just received the go-ahead for a fourth season. That means Huey and Riley Freeman (who is voiced by actress Regina King), will soon be tearing up the boondocks once again.

King recently spoke on the possibility of The Boondocks getting a fourth season:

“I talked to Aaron and it looks like they’re working things out. I’m trying to be positive. But you know you say one thing and the next thing you know it just fell apart. But it looks strong like we’re coming back.”

Also returning is Granddad, who is played by John Witherspoon. Back in 2011, Witherspoon mentioned in an interview with Sacramento’s Hot 103.5 that The Boondocks would return for a 20-episode fourth season, but no one really took heed to his information.

The Boondocks is an animated series created by Aaron McGruder. It’s about the Freeman family, who moves from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, to the peaceful suburb of Woodcrest. The differences in culture, lifestyle, and race fuels the characters to display exciting comedic material for the audience.

The series will return on Adult Swim but there is no official date as of yet.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
