It joins the successful grown-ish, on Freeform, which originated as a backdoor pilot episode of the mothership series featuring Yara Shahidi’s character, Zoey Johnson, as she goes to college. Mixed-ish is the second black-ish spinoff. Saji and Barris executive produce with Ross, Randall Winston, Artists First (Brian Dobbins), Cinema Gypsy (Laurence Fishburne and Helen Sugland) and Anthony Anderson. The series stars Arica Himmel as young Bow Johnson, Tika Sumpter as Alicia Johnson, Christina Anthony as Denise, Mykal-Michelle Harris as Santamonica Johnson and Ethan Childress as Johan Johnson. This family’s experiences illuminate the challenges of finding one’s own identity when the rest of the world can’t decide where you belong. As her parents struggle with the challenges of their new life, Bow and her siblings navigate a mainstream school in which they’re perceived as neither black nor white. Bow’s parents Paul and Alicia decide to move from a hippie commune to the suburbs to better provide for their family.
Written by Peter Saji and Kenya Barris, in mixed-ish, Rainbow Johnson (Ross) recounts her experience growing up in a mixed-race family in the ‘80s and the constant dilemmas they had to face over whether to assimilate or stay true to themselves. Bless This Mess, “The Predators” episode will now air in the 9-9:30 PM time slot that night. With the mixed-ish series order, that episode will now be held for next season, ABC says. Also not surprising was the pickup for mixed-ish, which had emerged as ABC’s strongest comedy pilot.ĪBC had intended to air a “Becoming Bow” episode of black-ish on May 7, which could have become a backdoor pilot for a potential prequel series.
The black-ish renewal is not a surprise for the praised single-camera comedy centered on an affluent African-American family struggling to raise their kids in the largely white culture of well-to-do suburbia.
