ABC announced today that they picked up black-ish for a 6th season and they are giving the series its second spinoff, grown-ish airs on Freeform. mixed-ish will follow Rainbow’s life as a kid growing up as mixed race girl in the ’80s.
If ABC keeps their slate as is, then that means they will have 1 show based in the ’70s, The Kids Are Alright, 2 shows in the ’80s, this and The Goldbergs, and 2 in the ’90s, Fresh Off the Boat and Schooled. What happened to 2019? Oh, The Conners.
When it comes to ABC’s decision on giving black-ish a spinoff, I am personally surprised. The ratings for the original are pretty bad, it is not even close to being one of their top comedies. They would be better off giving Modern Family a spinoff and I don’t think anyone wants that.
