Aaron McGruder’s highly anticipated new television show, Black Jesus, will officially air August 7th on Adult Swim.

The comedy series finds 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 stars newcomer Gerald “Slink” Johnson as “Black Jesus.”

Charlie Murphy, John Witherspoon, Kali Hawk, Corey Holcomb, Andra Fuller, Antwon Tanner, Andrew Bachelor, Angela Gibbs, and Valenzia Algarin also round out the starring cast.

After his announcement that he was no longer involved with his creation, The Boondocks, it’s apparent that McGruder didn’t let that stop him continue to stay on his grind.

After watching the trailer, I’m not too sure what to say. Although I know it’s a comedy, this one might rub a few feathers.

In addition, the visual production doesn’t seem too alluring. I however, have always been a fan of Aaron’s work, so only time will tell.

Check out the first episode for Aaron McGruder’s Black Jesus below:
