& # 39; Black-ish & # 39; renewed for season 6 in the form of a 'Mixed-ish'. a Go at ABC

The branch, which revolves around a young version of Rainbow by Tracee Ellis Ross, is the first new network order for the 2019-2020 broadcast season.

ABC is committed to Blackish.

The network renewed the comedy for a sixth season and placed an order at the beginning of the series at the previous spin-off Mixed-ish. The latter is located in the 1980s and revolves around a young version of Rainbow Johnson by Tracee Ellis Ross (played by Arica Himmell). The comedy, which was developed under the radar, quietly created buzz and was considered a favorite to move to the series.

Mixed was about to air May 7 in the form of episode planted Blackish. This episode will be held now for next season. (Bless this mess will air at 9 pm slot the same night.) Mixed The young Bow tells of her experience growing up in a Métis family in the 1980s and the dilemmas she faced in trying to assimilate or stay true to herself when her parents moved from a hippie community to the suburbs. Tika Sumpter, Christina Anthony, Mykal-Michelle Harris and Ethan Childress complete the cast. Mixed becomes the third show of the Blackish franchise and joins the split Grown-ish on the ABC Freeform cable network. The role played by Anders Holm, who was to play in the backdoor pilot project, will be redone while the producers have chosen to go in a different direction.

Blackish Executive producer Peter Saji and creator Kenya Barris co-created the series and wrote the comedy script. The two producers are working alongside Ross, Randall Winston, Brian Dobbins of Artists First, Laurence Fishburne and Helen Sugland's Cinema Gypsy. Blackish Anthony Anderson stars. The single-camera comedy, like the flagship product, originates from ABC Studios. The fallout comes after Barris negotiated a quick exit from its global deal with ABC Studios for a lucrative deal with Netflix. He remains involved as an executive producer in the franchise.

ABC, along with other networks and streamers, is increasingly looking to create spinoffs and other proven intellectual property rights to reduce the number of scripted scenes containing nearly 500 originals . (Spin-offs and reboots are cheaper on the market and come with an integrated audience.) ABC's scripted list currently includes The anatomy of Gray and its benefits Station 19, and The Goldbergs and his offspring schooled, while other broadcasters with franchises include NBC Chicago and Law and order series, The CW & # 39; s Arrow-verse and CBS & # 39; NCIS and The Big Bang Theory.

Mixed arrives while ABC is currently in negotiations with producers Sony Pictures TV for a renewal of its other comedy of the 1980s, The Goldbergs. (Its fallout, schooled, takes place in the 90s just like CBS The Big Bang Theory prequel Young Sheldon).

Blackish, meanwhile, enters his sixth season as a comedian of comedy on ABC Modern family end. The family comedy starring fan favorite Ross and Anderson has a lucrative off-the-shelf syndication contract and an exclusive SVOD broadcast contract with Hulu. The series was transferred to showrunners Kenny Smith and Jonathan Groff this season after Barris left for Netflix. In addition, co-host Smith signed a three-year global contract with ABC Studios, helping to consolidate Black–ishis the long-term future.
