Update 06/12/2019 4:05pm:
After years of buildup and anticipation, Sony has just confirmed that "The Boondocks" will be rebooted and reimagined with its original creator in Aaron McGruder.
For those that remember, the popular series aired on Adult Swim for four seasons from 2006 to 2014, though it's fourth and last season was without the involvement of McGruder, who around that time started a Kickstarter campaign for a live-action Boondocks-related film that never materialized.
Nonetheless, as part of the 2019 Annecy International Animated Film Festival, Sony revealed that the animated reboot will “update the cult, subversive satire for the modern era, as it chronicles the adventures of the Freeman family against the evil local government tyrant Uncle Ruckus, who rules the fictional Woodcrest County, Maryland, with an iron fist.”
With that said, at the moment there isn't any word on if Regina King will reprise her roles as the voices of both Huey and Riley Freeman, though John Witherspoon recently hinted that he would likely be returning as the voice of their beloved grandfather.

The always funny John Witherspoon was a recent guest on the Joe Rogan Podcast when he revealed that The Boondocks would be re-airing in the near future. Witherspoon told Rogan that the show is currently in the pre-production phase but he did not disclose of the show's original production team which includes the show's creator Aaron McGruder, will be involved with this latest reboot. The multi-talented Regina King who was the voice behind both Huey and Riley has expressed her willingness to jump back on board.
Season 5 should shape up to be an interesting comeback for The Boondocks, especially if the original crew all come together.
