“Legends of Chamberlain Heights” is
an urban animated series mixing raucous
comedy and social commentary that
centers on three high school freshman
basketball benchwarmers: Jamal, Grover,
and Milk. The three friends tackle life
with some wins and some losses, but
failure doesn’t faze them since they’re
legends…even if it’s just in their own
minds.
In the first episode, “Jamallies”,
the Chamberlain Heights police
confiscate all of the students’ drugs on
the eve of the biggest high school party
of the year. The Legends decide to take
matters into their own hands and find a
way to sneak drugs into the party. Chaos
ensues when Jamal’s homemade cocktail of
“Jamallies” brings on unexpected side
effects.

animated series will launch on Comedy
Central’s Snapchat Discover channel.”
