In an unsurprising move, ABC has renewed black-ish for a seventh season. This means the Kenya Barris Cinematic Universe marches onward with its hit trinity; mixed-ish has also been renewed at ABC, and grown-ish was previously renewed at Freeform.
black-ish is one of 13 shows ABC renewed on Thursday, including The Rookie, A Million Little Things, Dancing With the Stars, The Goldbergs, and Stumptown.
black-ish originally premiered as a comedic look at the generational differences in an upwardly mobile black American family.
But in the six years the show has been on the air, it has evolved into so much more. From featuring Black Lives Matters protests to open discussions of mental health, black-ish has become a cultural powerhouse.
