In September 2020, it was announced that Good Times would receive an animated sitcom revival with Carl Jones originally attached as showrunner and produced and Norman Lear originally executive producing alongside Seth MacFarlane and Stephen Curry for Netflix.[1] In December 2023, it was announced Ranada Shepard replaced Carl Jones as showrunner for the series.[2] It centers on the current generation of the Evans family, and stars Jay Pharoah, Marsai Martin, Yvette Nicole Brown, Slink Johnson, and J. B. Smoove. The series (titled on-screen as Good Times: Black Again)[3] was released on April 12, 2024.[4]
It received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and audiences with criticism aimed at the animation style, the crass presentation, racist and offensive humor, and general lack of connection to the original series aside from occasional mentions of the James Evans character.[5][6][7][8][9][10]
