Black-ish renewed for sixth season

The Johnsons will return for more “Black-ish.” ABC renewed the comedy series last Thursday night for a sixth season, which will air in the upcoming 2019-2020 season. The announcement came with the additional news that an early series order had also been given to a prequel series, “Mixed-ish.” “Black-ish” follows married couple Andre Johnson (Anthony Anderson) and Rainbow Johnson (Tracee Ellis Rose) as they raise a middle class family and grapple with issues both personal and sociopolitical. “Mixed-ish,” on the other hand, will revolve around Rainbow in her youth as she struggles with staying true to herself after moving to the suburbs from a hippie commune. Similar to the way “Black-ish” focuses on modern African-American issues, “Mixed-ish” will confront the difficulties of Bow’s mixed race as she grows up in the 80’s.
