Black-ish (stylized as black·ish) is an American sitcom television series created by Kenya Barris. It aired on ABC from September 24, 2014, to April 19, 2022, running for eight seasons with 176 episodes.[1][2] Black-ish follows an upper class well-off black family headed by Andre "Dre" Johnson, a successful advertising executive (Anthony Anderson), and his wife Rainbow, an anaesthesiologist (Tracee Ellis Ross). The show revolves around the wealthy Johnson family as they juggle personal, familial and sociopolitical issues, particularly in trying to reconcile their desire to stay true to their black identities with their choice to live in a wealthy, suburban white neighborhood.[3]
The show also features confident oldest child Zoey (Yara Shahidi), nerdy elder son Andre Jr., aka Junior (Marcus Scribner), and twins Jack (Miles Brown) and Diane (Marsai Martin).[3] In later seasons, additional characters including Dre's mother Ruby Johnson (Jenifer Lewis), his co-workers Josh Oppenhol (Jeff Meacham) and Charlie Telphy (Deon Cole), his boss Leslie Stevens (Peter Mackenzie), his and Bow's youngest child Devante Johnson (August and Berlin Gross), and Junior's girlfriend Olivia Lockhart (Katlyn Nichol) are promoted to series regulars, while Dre's father (and Ruby's ex-husband that she remarried), Earl Johnson (Laurence Fishburne), is a recurring character throughout the series.[4][5]
Throughout its run, Black-ish received positive reviews. The show received Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series and a TCA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy, while Tracee Ellis Ross received individual praise, winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her role as Bow.[6]
In May 2020, ABC renewed the series for a seventh season,[7] which premiered on October 21, 2020.[8] Ahead of its seventh season premiere, an hour-long Election-themed special was aired on October 4, 2020.[9] In May 2021, ABC renewed the series for an eighth and final season,[10] which premiered on January 4, 2022, and consists of 13 episodes.[11] The series finale aired on April 19, 2022.
The show's success prompted a spin-off titled Grown-ish, which stars Shahidi, and subsequently Scribner, as their respective characters Zoey and Junior as they leave home to attend college.[12] In May 2019, ABC ordered a short-lived prequel series, Mixed-ish, which centers on a young Bow and her biracial family in the 1980s.[13]

- Anthony Anderson as Andre "Dre" Johnson: a wealthy advertising executive at Stevens & Lido, who wishes to ensure a balance of black culture is intertwined with his family's upper middle class, ultra-suburban upbringing. He is Rainbow's husband. Dre cares about his reputation, his favorite child is Zoey, and he is infamous for his shopping problem, particularly with shoes. He has trouble bonding with Junior due to their differing personalites. He is often mocked for his race at work. Andre has a strong bond with his mother.
- Tracee Ellis Ross as Dr. Rainbow "Bow" Johnson: an anesthesiologist and Dre's wife, who wishes to retain a place in her children's lives. She comes from a bi-racial family where her father is white and her mother is black. She typically has the strongest bond with Junior. She often finds Dre's ideas to be absurd, serving as the sensible one in their parenting pair. She is a feminist and wants her children to be modern working people and not conform to traditional gender roles.
- Yara Shahidi as Zoey Johnson (starring seasons 1–3; recurring seasons 4–8): Dre and Rainbow's oldest child, as well as Dre's favorite child. She is a stereotypical teenage girl, caring mostly about looks and boys. However, she is also responsible and smart and cares for her younger siblings. Shahidi left the main cast at the end of season 3 to star in her own spin-off series Grown-ish.
- Marcus Scribner as Andre "Junior" Johnson Jr.: Dre and Rainbow's self-proclaimed "nerdy" second oldest child. He typically lacks teenage savvy, but is very smart and is taught these things, albeit with a hint of disdain, by his relatively shallow and self-aggrandizing father and siblings. He has a strong bond with his mother. He dates Megan from seasons 3–4 and Olivia from seasons 6–8. He stars in the last two seasons of Grown-ish, after the end of Black-ish.
- Miles Brown as Jackson "Jack" Johnson: Dre and Rainbow's third oldest child and fraternal twin of Diane. He is 7 years old at the beginning of the show and typically aloof, but also idolizes his father, and is Diane's younger twin brother. He relies on his cuteness despite his lack of intelligence in the earlier seasons.
- Marsai Martin as Diane Johnson: Dre and Rainbow's youngest daughter and fraternal twin of Jack, who considers herself smarter and more mature than him. She is often considered evil by her family and friends, bullying everyone she knows, particularly Charlie. She shows a lack of empathy, care and consideration for other people, but loves her family. This is shown when the twins separate temporarily in season 2 and she misses it.
- Jenifer Lewis as Ruby Johnson (starring seasons 2–8; recurring season 1): Dre's mother, who does not get along with Rainbow. She is heavily religious and pro-black on several issues. She shares many traits with Diane, and has a strong bond with Dre.
- Jeff Meacham as Josh Oppenhol (starring seasons 2 and 6–8; recurring seasons 1 & 3–5): Dre's co-worker, who is often disrespected and undervalued by his peers, and is often racist.
- Peter Mackenzie as Leslie Stevens (starring seasons 3–8; recurring seasons 1–2): Dre's boss and co-owner of Stevens & Lido, who engages in hipster racism and provides implicit bias in regards to social issues.
- Deon Cole as Charlie Telphy (starring seasons 4–8; recurring seasons 1–3): Dre's eccentric co-worker and adulthood best friend. Cole also features as part of the main cast of Grown-ish. Charlie is very mysterious, such as having two families, and his character has many inconsistencies. He often forgets about his son, Eustace. He is divorced.
- August and Berlin Gross as DeVante Johnson (starring seasons 4–8; guest season 3, mentioned season 2): Dre and Rainbow's youngest child who appears from season 3 onwards. Rainbow found out she was pregnant with him in "Daddy Dre-Care". He is born in the episode "Sprinkles".
- Katlyn Nichol as Olivia Lockhart (starring seasons 7–8; guest season 6): Junior's girlfriend. They had a close to serious relationship for about 2 years, until Olivia broke up with Junior towards the end of the series.

On Rotten Tomatoes, season 4 holds an approval rating of 100% based on 11 reviews, with an average rating of 8.67/10. The site's consensus states, "black-ish continues to push boundaries, but with a much more celebratory tone that seeks to educate as readily as it entertains."[51]

Accolades
[edit]Spin-offs
[edit]Grown-ish
[edit]The twenty-third episode of the third season, "Liberal Arts", functioned as a backdoor pilot for a proposed spin-off of the same title, starring Yara Shahidi as her character, Zoey Johnson, goes to college away from the family. Other cast members in the pilot and proposed series were Chris Parnell, Mallory Sparks, Matt Walsh, and Trevor Jackson.[54][55]
In early May 2017, ABC passed on the pilot, but its sister channel Freeform commenced negotiations to move the project there.[56] On May 19, 2017, Freeform officially ordered 13 episodes of the spin-off, now under the tentative title College-ish.[12] In August 2017, the series changed its title to Grown-ish, and added Francia Raisa, Jordan Buhat and Chloe x Halle as cast members.[57] The series's pilot premiered on January 3, 2018. Parnell and Jackson reprised their roles from the backdoor pilot, while Emily Arlook was also added as Nomi, replacing the character Miriam played by Mallory Sparks.[58]
Mixed-ish
[edit]On May 2, 2019, it was announced that a second spin-off, now titled Mixed-ish had been ordered to series by ABC. In lieu of this, the May 7 episode of season five would be shelved until next season. The episode, titled "Becoming Bow", would follow a young Bow and her family.[13] The series was renewed for a second season on May 21, 2020.[7] In May 2021, the series was canceled after two seasons.[59]
Old-ish
[edit]It was announced in September 2020 that a new spin-off starring Laurence Fishburne and Jenifer Lewis was in the works.[60] However, in May 2021, ABC Entertainment president, Craig Erwich, stated there were no plans for the pilot.[61]
Notes
[edit]- ^ Credited as ABC Studios through season 6
- ^ Twenty-four episodes were produced for season 4, but the thirteenth produced episode (titled "Please, Baby, Please") was shelved by ABC due to its controversial content, hence only 23 episodes were aired. "Please, Baby, Please" later debuted on Hulu on August 10, 2020.
- ^ A total of 21 episodes were produced for the seventh season: a two-part special episode, which aired on October 4, 2020, before the season premiere, and another nineteen contributing towards the regular season, which officially premiered on October 21, 2020.
