The original cast members of The Boondocks were not confirmed to be returning for the reboot. However, creator Aaron McGruder will again be in charge of the show. Regina King voiced the characters of Riley & Huey in the original series, while John Witherspoon said Granddad. As Witherspoon has passed away, it is unlikely that his character will appear in the reboot. The new series is expected to maintain the original premise, with the main characters facing challenges in a Maryland suburb and incorporating contemporary events and cultural changes.
