Smith is a New York Times Bestselling Author, Executive Producer, host of ESPN's First Take, and co-host of NBA Countdown.  America's Got Talent host Terry Crews stars in the Everybody Hates Chris sequel.  It received a 20-episode order out of the gate, with the first 10 episodes airing in two-episode pairings weekly for five weeks and the remaining 10 episodes set to debut at a later date.

Intentionally not a reboot of the original comedy — “everybody hates a reboot,” adult Chris jokes in the pilot episode — the animated series sees most of the show’s original characters return, like Arnold, who now voices Rochelle, Terry Crews, who continues his portrayal of Julius Rock, Jackée Harry, who stars as Rochelle’s friend Vanessa, and Jacqueline Mazarella as teacher Vivian Morello, in addition to Chris who will once again narrate the series as his adult self. The show also introduces new voices like Tim Johnson Jr., who now portrays a teenage Chris, and Terrence Little Gardenhigh and Ozioma Akagha who voice his brother and sister Drew and Tonya. A host of celebrity guest star appearances are also lined up, from Busta Rhymes, who can be heard voicing graffiti wall art in the pilot episode, to Ayo Edebiri and Natasha Rothwell, who are set to have roles in later episodes.
