Grown-ish, which is a spinoff of ABC’s Black-ish, premiered in 2018. It originally followed Yara Shahidi‘s character Zoey as she left home to attend college. Season 5 saw Marcus Scribner take up the mantle from Shahidi as Zoey’s younger brother Junior, who started his first year at Cal U.
On the heels of her graduation, Junior has been attempting to transition out from under her shadow and make his own mark on the campus.
In addition to Shahidi and Scribner, the series stars Trevor Jackson, Diggy Simmons, and Daniella Perkins.
The series is produced by ABC Signature and Kenya Barris, Craig Doyle, Yara Shahidi, Anthony Anderson, Laurence Fishburne, Helen Sugland, E. Brian Dobbins and Michael Petok serve as executive producers. Doyle will serve as showrunner for Season 6, succeeding Zakiyyah Alexander and Courtney Lilly, who were co-showrunners last season.
