The Boondocks Animated at Fox Source: Variety Tuesday, August 12, 2003
The Fox network has ordered a pilot for a postential animated series based on the edgy comic strip The Boondocks, by Aaron McGruder and seen in 350 newspapers nationwide.
The Boondocks, which McGruder debuted in April 1999, revolves around junior revolutionary Huey and his gangsta wannabe brother Riley, who move from the inner city to their out-of-touch grandfather's home in the suburbs.
Once given a greenlight, the series would likely be ready for launch in the 2004-05 midseason.
In addition to writing the pilot, McGruder and partner Reggie Hudlin continue to hammer out an animated feature treatment of the strip as well.
