With Season 4 renewal on the way, ABC is looking to extend Black-ish further with a spinoff centered on star Yara Shahidi‘s character Zoey Johnson in college, Deadline reports:
ABC is looking to spin off its acclaimed family comedy Black-ish. I’ve learned that the network is working with series creator/executive producer Kenya Barris and ABC Studios on the project, which would be toplined by Black-ish co-star Yara Shahidi and focus on her character Zoey Johnson in college. I hear the idea is for the potential new comedy series, created by Barris and former Black-ish showrunner Larry Wilmore, to be introduced as a backdoor pilot episode on Black-ish this spring. Sources stress that talks for the spinoff are still in very early stages, with no script and deals in place.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the renew/cancel status of Black-ish Season 4 and the potential spinoff series…
