The Comedy Central show serves as both a sequel series and a reboot.
Now, Chris and his family are back in animated form and so are some familiar voices.
“We had more stories to tell.

It felt like we were yanked.
Arnold, who also reprises her role as Rochelle, shares a similar sentiment.
“We thought we had at least three more seasons at least, Arnold explains.

It just wasn’t resolved for us.”
When the series premieres, Chris (Tim Johnson Jr.) has failed his G.E.D.
After revealing that he failed his G.E.D to them, Rochelle knocks him into animation.

Upon contact, Chris, his family, and all of Brooklyn, becomes 2D.
“This is my take: He gets slapped into animation.”
For Arnold and Crews, seeing their counterparts and likenesses in cartoon form filled them with excitement.
“I love animation,” says Crews.
And then to see myself actually animated.
I don’t know what to say.
When this comes out, I think I’m going to shed a couple of tears.
Arnold, for her part, felt similarly.
Crews and Arnold took separate methods to get back into their respective characters rhythms.
It took a minute, says Arnold.
It’s like getting back on a bike again, Arnold expressed.
I hope that I do the show as long asThe Simpsons, Arnold says affectionately.
Everybody Still Hates Chrisis set to premiere Wednesday, Sept. 25, on Comedy Central.
