In 2019, Sony announced that a reboot of âThe Boondocksâ with Aaron McGruder was on the way.
The news was announced at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival. Now, âBoondocksâ star Cedric Yarbrough, known for his role as âTom DuBois,â has said Sony Pictures âpulled the plugâ on rebooting the series. During an interview, Yarbrough said, âI hate to say this, butâŚthe show is, right now, not coming back. I donât know if this is breaking news, but weâve been wanting to do the show.â He continued saying, âSonyâŚthey decided theyâre going to pull the plug. So, I donât know. Hopefully, maybe one day weâll be able to revisit. If we donât, then thatâs what that is, but, I wish the show was coming back.â News of this comes after it was revealed that âBoondocksâ star Regina Kingâs son passed away. Along with that, the series was allegedly up in the air following the loss of comedian John Witherspoon, who was the voice of âGranddad.â
