One of the most legendary sitcoms of all-time is making a return…but with a twist! This week (March 27th), Netflix released the official trailer for its upcoming animated series
Good Times. Check it out below!
An animated reboot of the Norman Lear series finds the latest generation of the Evans family, cab driver Reggie and his wife, the ever-aspirational Beverly, scratching and surviving in one of the last remaining housing projects in Chicago along with their teenage artist son, Junior, activist daughter Grey, and drug dealing infant son, Dalvin. It turns out the more things change the more they stay the same and keeping your head above water in a system with its knee on your neck is as challenging as ever. The only thing tougher than life is love, but in this family there’s more than enough to go around.
The series stars J.B. Smoove (Reggie Evans), Yvette Nicole Brown (Beverly Evans), Jay Pharoah (Junior Evans), Marsai Martin (Greg Evans), Gerald ‘Slink’ Johnson (Dalvin Evans) and Rashida ‘Sheedz’ Olayiwola (Lashes by Lisa).
