Award-winning animated Adult Swim series "The Boondocks" is returning this spring for a third season, skewering suburbia and harpooning hip-hop once more, with its own unique brand of subversive flavor. The show, based on Aaron McGruder’s comic strip by the same name, gets reanimated after a two year hiatus on Sunday, May 2nd at 11:30pm EST.
Creator and executive producer McGruder announced the news on his Twitter feed, several weeks after posting confirmation that the third season was on its way - along with the following preview shots:
The series, produced by Rebel Base in association with Sony Pictures Television, includes the vocal talents of Regina King ("Southland") as Huey and Riley Freeman; John Witherspoon ("Friday After Next") as Granddad; Gary Anthony Williams ("Boston Legal") as Uncle Ruckus; Cedric Yarbrough ("Reno 911") as Tom Dubois; Jill Talley ("American Dad") as Sarah; and Gabby Soleil ("Johnson Family vacation") as Jazmine.
The show's return will be a welcome dose of touchy, controversial sociopolitical humor and situations "The Boondocks" has become famous for.
