Adult Swim “The Boondocks” Season 4 Without Creator Aaron McGruder

Date:

The Boondocks is back and scheduled to return to Adult Swim on April 21st for a fourth and final season after a four year hiatus, but without the creator Aaron McGruder.

It is reported from The LA Times that Aaron McGruder will not be involved in the production.

A press release from Sony Pictures Television, which produces the series, noted that the new season “was produced without the involvement of Aaron McGruder, when a mutually agreeable production schedule could not be determined…

“The announcement comes as a surprise: Since launching the strip in 1999, McGruder, who is developing a live-action comedy “Black Jesus” for Adult Swim, has been extremely protective of the property and the Boondocks characters.

But, how will this affect the creative voice of the television series? Aaron McGruder took to Facebook yesterday to report that his “Boondocks” Facebook page had been hijacked. Now it appears that his show was hijacked as well.

Luckily for McGruder, Adult Swim did not leave him empty handed. As a consolation prize he was given a new television series titled, “Black Jesus” based on the 2008 viral hit. The production has started casting earlier this month with several casting calls in Los Angeles.

It will be interesting to see how this all pans out for McGruder, Boondocks and Adult Swim. Will the creativity still be there?
