Spinoff of ABC’s ‘black-ish’ to Focus on Mixed-Race Issues

The network is also giving an early series order to “mixed-ish,” a spinoff about show creator Rainbow Johnson’s experience growing up in a mixed-race family in the ‘80s. (Ron Tom/ABC via AP) By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — A spinoff of the ABC sitcom “black-ish” will focus on a young Rainbow Johnson and her challenges growing up in the 1980s. ABC said Thursday that the new series, titled “mixed-ish,” will be nar- rated by Tracee Ellis Ross. She stars in “black-ish” as the adult character with the nickname of Bow. In the spinoff, preteen Bow and her mixed-ethnicity family face the di- lemma of assimilation or staying “true to themselves,” according to ABC. Bow and her siblings also must adapt to suburbia and a mainstream school after their parents move from a commune. Arica Himmel stars as Bow, with Tika Sumpter and Christina Anthony among the other cast members in “mixed-ish.” An airdate for the spinoff wasn’t announced. ABC also said it renewed “black-ish” for next season, its sixth.
