From the L.A. Times:
“The Boondocks,” the edgy animated series based on Aaron McGruder’s comic strip about 10-year-old black militant Huey Freeman and his gangsta-wanna-be younger brother Riley living in the suburbs with their grandfather, is returning April 21 for a fourth and final season on Adult Swim.
However, there’s a catch. McGruder, who created the series and was its key creative force, is not along for the ride.
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.”
Representatives for McGruder could not be reached for comment.
