Grown-ish, the last remaining series in the Black-ish franchise, is a comedy-drama series starring Yara Shahidi, Marcus Scribner, Trevor Jackson, Diggy Simmons, and Daniella Perkins. Matthew Sato, Tara Raani, Justine Skye, Amelie Zilber, Ceyair Wright and Slick Woods have recurring roles.
A spin-off of ABC's Black-ish, the series initially follows Dre and Bow Johnson's eldest daughter, Zoey (Shahidi), as she heads off to college and begins her journey into adulthood. In the fifth season, Zoey and her friends have graduated. Meanwhile, her brother Andre Johnson Jr., aka Junior (Scribner), has enrolled at Cal U and begins his own journey to "adulthood."
Black-ish, created by Kenya Barris, debuted in 2014 and aired for eight seasons, with 176 episodes. The series ended almost a year ago. A prequel series, Mixed-ish, launched in 2019 and ran for two seasons and 36 episodes on ABC.
Grown-ish debuted in 2018. The sixth and final season will be split into two parts and the series will air its 100th episode before its end. The first batch of episodes will air this summer, with the final episodes coming in 2024.
“We’ve spent nearly a decade telling our stories through the -ish series and to say it has been an amazing journey would be an understatement,” said series creator and executive producer Kenya Barris. “To be able to watch Yara, Marcus, and our entire grown-ish family grow up in front of (and in many ways alongside) us over these past several years has been both a joy and an honor. From the stories we’ve told to the talent we’ve fostered and, most importantly, the memories made, I could not be more proud of everything we’ve accomplished and the -ish family I’ve been a part of.”
