Grown-ish to End with Season 6 on Freeform

Grown-ish has been renewed for a sixth and final season by Freeform.

The YA comedy’s swan song will also mean the end of the black-ish universe, which debuted on ABC in 2014. It also includes the prequel series mixed-ish, which only aired for two seasons.

Per TV Line, Grown-ish Season 6 will include the show’s milestone 100th episode and be split into two parts. 6A will air this summer, and 6B will debut in 2024. The college-set series’ fifth season concluded this month on Freeform.

Freeform announced the news through a video from Yara Shahidi, who has portrayed Zoey Johnson for nine years, two months after Variety exclusively reported the Season 6 renewal.

Shahidi shares that, along with the cast of herself, Marcus Scribner as Andre “Junior” Johnson, Trevor Jackson as Aaron Jackson, Diggy Simmons as Doug Edwards, and Daniella Perkins as Kiela Hall, Grown-sh‘s final season will include guest stars, like Lil Yachty and Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals.

As previously reported, Daniella Perkins joined Grown-ish Season 5 as a series regular alongside six new recurring cast members. That news came after Season 5’s other casting shake-up of multiple exits.

“Your support over the last five seasons has really meant the world to us — the cast and crew. And we want to take the time for the love and support that’s kept us going,” Shahidi added.

“We’ve spent nearly a decade telling our stories through the -ish series and to say it has been an amazing journey would be an understatement,” said series creator and executive producer Kenya Barris, per Variety.

“To be able to watch Yara, Marcus, and our entire grown-ish family grow up in front of (and in many ways alongside) us over these past several years has been both a joy and an honor,” Barris added.

From the stories we’ve told to the talent we’ve fostered and, most importantly, the memories made, I could not be more proud of everything we’ve accomplished and the -ish family I’ve been a part of,” Barris concluded.

Craig Doyle will serve as Grown-ish Season 6’s showrunner, executive-producing alongside Barris, Shahidi, Anthony Anderson, Laurence Fishburne, Helen Sugland, E. Brian Dobbins, and Michael Petok.
