Good times are coming to the big screen. Black-ish creator Kenya Barris is to write the screenplay for a Good Times film based on the hit ’70s sitcom, his manager confirmed.
Good Times, which aired on CBS from 1974 to 1979, was about an African-American family living in a poor neighbourhood in Chicago.
Barris, who is also writing the screenplay for Barbershop 3, tweeted on Monday that he was excited about the project. Known primarily for his work on the ABC sitcom Black-ish and creating America’s Next Top Model, Barris has also written for Girlfriends, The Game, and Are We There Yet?
No director or stars have been set for the project yet.
