Created by Kenya Barris (#BlackAF, Girls Trip), this multi award-winning show has received an Emmy, dozens of NAACP awards, and a Golden Globe for its lead Tracee Ellis Ross, as well as a standalone spin-offs Grown-is and Mixed-ish. It’s tackled thorny social issues like racism, inequality, and colorism head on, all without pulling focus from its complex family dynamics.
This final run begins with a bang, with no less than ex-FLOTUS Michelle Obama appearing as herself in the opening episode “That’s What Friends Are For” , with the former First Lady accepting a dinner invitation to the Johnsons’ house after Dre (Anthony Anderson) meets her at a fundraising event.
Obama is the latest in a long line of impressive guest stars who have appeared in the show, but fans of Black-ish will likely be more excited to find the entire cast of main players will be returning for its final season, with Anderson, Ellis Ross, Yara Shahidi, Marcus Scribner, Miles Brown, Marsai Martin, Jenifer Lewis and Laurence Fishburne all back for the show's swan song.
