Black America (Aaron McGruder & Will Packer's new series)

[notPsychosiz]

Black America is an upcoming alternative history television drama that imagines a nation-state formed by African-Americans after the Civil War as reparations for slavery. The show is a collaboration between producer Will Packer and The Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder for Amazon Video. McGruder is writing screenplays for the series, which has been under development for over a year as of August 2017.[1][2]



The announcement of the in-development series came in response to HBO's announcement of its own upcoming racist series Confederate, which shows the confederates winnning the civil war and a 2017 America where slavery is legal.

Nope and I haven't heard anything about it since the initial news dropped. With McGruder working on the Boondocks reboot as well, who knows if this ever sees the light of day.

Mcgruder has an unfortunate habit of working on projects that never see the light of day. He signed up to work with Don Cheadle on a project that never materialized. He announced the Uncle Ruckus movie that never happened. He was supposed to do an app based Boondocks game that never happened.


I was really looking forward to Black America. The premise is undeniably intriguing. Hope at LEAST we can get that new season of the Boondocks on deck even with John Witherspoon’s passing
