Hollywood icon Terry Crews says he's hopeful Everybody Still Hates Chriswill stay on the air for at least 20 years.

Per Deadline, the returning Everybody Hates Chris star said of the animated revival series, "To do it again animated, we can go forever. That's the plan." Crews added, "Let’s get some of that Family Guy, Simpsons kinda stuff. I want that 20-year longevity on that show."

Crews originally portrayed the Rock family patriarch Julius on Everybody Hates Chris, a live-action, semi-autobiographical sitcom created by comedy legend Chris Rock and loosely based on his own childhood experiences. Everybody Hates Chris also starred Tichina Arnold as Rochelle Rock, Chris' mother, Tequan Richmond as Chris' younger brother, Imani Hakim as Chris' spoiled younger sister Tonya, and Tyler James Williams as a young Chris Rock, while Rock himself provided voice-over narration for the series. In 2009, Everybody Hates Chris came to a close after 88 episodes across 4 seasons.

Wrestlemania season is the most wonderful time of the year for wrestling fans, particularly the ones who follow WWE. Spanning from New Year's Eve to around Easter Sunday, World Wrestling Entertainment will culminate their biggest storylines of the year and pay them off on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Though many will look at the Showcase of Immortals as the "season finale" of the long-running wrestling promotion's programming for that year, professional wrestling doesn't have an off-season. In fact, depending on which streaming services you subscribe to, you can find yourself watching in-ring action from a different promotion every single day of the week.

However, what if wrestling fans want to take a break from the squared circle in favor of more traditional shows? Obviously, there is a plethora of shows and genres to choose from, but maybe they don't want to stray too far from the world of "The Man" Becky Lynch,...

With the animated revival of Everybody Hates Chris, Terry Crews hopes to be voicing patriarch Julius Rock for years to come.

The Everybody Still Hates Chris star recently expressed hopes that the Comedy Central series will enjoy a “20-year longevity,” matching the likes of long-running animated shows like The Simpsons (1989-present) and Family Guy (1999-present).

“To do it again animated, we can go forever,” said Crews in an interview. “That’s the plan. Let’s get some of that Family Guy, Simpsons kinda stuff. I want that 20-year longevity on that show.”

After Everybody Hates Chris ran for four seasons on Upn/The CW from 2005 to 2009, recounting Chris Rock‘s childhood as a skinny Black nerd from a working class family in 1980s Brooklyn, the comedian returned his narrator role with the animated revival that premiered in September.

Crews and Tichina Arnold reprised their roles from the original series, voicing...

Finally, fans are getting more Martin. Sort of.

BET+ has greenlit Varnell Hill, a workplace-comedy series based on Tommy Davidson’s character on Martin; Davidson will reprise the role. It’s a straight-to-series order — we can consider Davidson’s two-episode arc on Martin in 1993 an extended pilot.

Martin Lawrence, the Martin of Martin, is co-creator and will executive produce Varnell Hill. Bentley Evans is the other co-creator, and will showrun as well as executive produce. No word yet on if Lawrence will appear as radio/TV personality Martin Payne. The two characters are… not exactly friends.

Varnell Hill will be set behind the scenes of long-running late-night talk show, The Varnell Hill Show. How long-running? Hill was doing this back in 1993, when he and Payne got into an on-set, televised physical altercation. Until today, that was the end of Varnell Hill’s existence in the Martin-sphere.

The new series “explores...

Martin Lawrence's classic sitcom, Martin, was one of the most popular sitcoms of the 1990s. Nearly three full decades since the TV show aired its final episode, it's been announced that a new spinoff series is in the works, but perhaps not with a character that fans would expect.

Per Variety, Tommy Davidson is set to star in a new spinoff show dubbed Varnell Hill. In the original show, Davidson played Varnell Hill, the titular host of the fictional late-night talk show The Varnell Hill Show. The spinoff is described as a workplace comedy series that will shine the spotlight on the chaos that happens behind the scenes in television production.

Varnell Hill has been given a series order for BET+. This project is separate from the planned Martin prequel series that was announced to be in the works last year, dubbed Young Martin. The status of that show,...

A year-and-change after Martin cast members Martin Lawrence, Tichina Arnold, Tisha Campbell and Carl Anthony Payne II winningly reunited at the Emmy Awards, BET+ has given a series order to a spinoff — albeit, one revolving around a one-off character from the 1990s Fox sitcom.

Tommy Davidson is set to reprise his November 1993 Martin role as Varnell Hill, a stand-up comic turned late-night talk show host who appeared in the Season 2 two-parter “Hollywood Swinging.”

Exclusive: The Martin cast reunion was a big highlight of the January 2024 Emmy Awards, underlining the lasting popularity of the 1990s sitcom. A year later, the show is getting a franchise extension with Varnell Hill, a spinoff series greenlighted by BET+. It is headlined by actor-comedian Tommy Davidson as the titular Varnell Hill, reprising the beloved character he played as a guest star on Martin.

Varnell Hill is co-created and executive produced by Martin co-creator, star and executive producer Martin Lawrence and Martin executive producer/showrunner Bentley Evans, with Jesse Collins also executive producing. There is no confirmation of Lawrence appearing on the show, but I hear he is poised to reprise his Martin Payne role in multiple episodes.

The announcement comes on the 35th anniversary of In Living Color, on which Davidson was an original cast member.
