Oscar winner and multiple Emmy nominee Whoopi Goldberg will travel back in time next season on “Everybody Hates Chris.”
Goldberg will appear in several episodes of the CW’s comedy beginning this fall, the network says. She’ll play a woman who moves with her granddaughter from Queens to the Bedford Styuvesant apartment building where Chris (Tyler James Williams) and his family live.
The granddaughter also will become a love interest for Chris – or at least the latest girl in the neighborhood to ignore him.
The role on “Chris,” which is moving to Sunday nights in the fall, adds another project to Goldberg’s already crowded schedule. She has a handful of films in various stages of production, including several independent projects and voice work on “Farce of the Penguins,” a spoof of last year’s documentary hit written and directed by Bob Saget.
