The Boondocks season 4 is finally premiering on April 21 after months (and years) of waiting.
The season was confirmed a while back and was originally supposed to begin in January but was pushed back for unspecified reasons.
The episodes will air at 10:30 p.m. EDT each week on Adult Swim. Live streaming will also be available for cable or satellite subscribers via Adult Swim’s website.
Episode 1 will see Pretty Boy Flizzy being arrested for armed robbery. He exchanges relationship advice for a lawyer.
Show creator Aaron McGruder explained recently that he won’t be involved with the fourth and last season of the popular show, which last aired in 2010.
“It was important to offend, but equally important to offend for the right reasons,” McGruder explained on Facebook last month, speaking of the series’ first three seasons, when “I personally navigated this show through the minefields of controversy.”
McGruder has since departed after “a mutually agreeable production schedule could not be determined,” according to Adult Swim.
But he’s preparing something new for the network as he puts “a life of controversy and troublemaking behind me,” he said — surely with tongue in cheek — in his Facebook statement. His new project: a live-action scripted comedy called “Black Jesus,” with Jesus living in modern-day Compton, Calif., as he attempts to spread love and kindness through this troubled neighborhood. It is scheduled to premiere later this year.
