This is too good for me to even write up. So, I’ll let Deadline tell you all the details of Aaron McGruder‘s new Adult Swim show, ‘Black Jesus.’
Black Jesus, a half-hour live-action scripted comedy from writer/producer, Aaron McGruder (The Boondocks). The show stars newcomer Gerald “Slink” Johnson as Jesus living in present day Compton, CA on a daily mission to spread love and kindness throughout the neighborhood with the help of his small but loyal group of downtrodden followers.
The series co-stars Charlie Murphy (Are We There Yet), Corey Holcomb (The Cleveland Show), and John Witherspoon (The Boondocks). Production has begun on the new series in Los Angeles, CA, which will premiere later this year. McGruder, who created the series, will serve as executive producer through his 5 Mutts Productions along with writer/director Mike Clattenberg (Trailer Park Boys) and LEG’s Norman Aladjem and John Bravakis.
