Good Times animated on Netflix
Lear and his Act III Productions is partnering with basketball star Steph Curry and his production company, Unanimous Media, as well as Seth MacFarlane and his company Fuzzy Door, to develop the show.
According to Variety, the new Netflix animated series will follow “the Evans family as they navigate today’s world and contemporary social issues.
Just as the original did years ago, ‘Good Times’ strives to remind us that with the love of our family, we can keep our heads above water.”
“It’s a dream come true to be working with the legendary talents of Norman Lear, Seth MacFarlane and Stephen Curry,” Jones said in a statement.
“We are excited to carry on the original legacy of ‘Good Times’ — but now animated and a little edgier. Let’s just say the struggle has just gotten strugglier.”
Live in Front of a Studio Audience
Lear’s TV special Live in Front of a Studio Audience recreated the Good Times 1975 episode “The Politicians” last year.
The episode featured a star-studded cast which included Viola Davis, Tiffany Haddish, Jay Pharoah, and Jharrel Jerome.
Live in Front of a Studio Audience received an Emmy nod for Outstanding Live Variety Special.
