Norman Lear Teams With Seth MacFarlane, Carl Jones, And Steph Curry For Adult Animated Revival Of “Good Times”

Netflix has ordered a ten episode adult animation revival of Good Times with Norman Lear, Seth MacFarlane, and Steph Curry producing alongside showrunner Carl Jones. The series will feature 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.”

Says my man Carl Jones, “It’s a dream come true to be working with the legendary talents of Norman Lear, Seth MacFarlane and Stephen Curry. 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.”

The series will be inspired by the classic sitcom featuring Esther Rolle and John Amos played Florida and James Evans, the household heads of a family living in Chicago’s Cabrini-Green public housing project but Carl notes that he’s looking to take this franchise in a slightly new direction.
