Like the original series, Everybody Still Hates Chris will feature Rock narrating the episodes, with stories inspired by his childhood experiences in a working class family in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn during the late 1980s.
"A reimagining of this groundbreaking, critically acclaimed series has been a source of creative discussions at our studio for a long time," said George Cheeks, president and CEO of CBS in a statement. "It's exciting to join forces with 3 Arts and the comedic genius of Chris Rock as he expands on his vision of the original show in this innovative new format."
Everybody Hates Chris is currently available to stream on Hulu.
