Storyline and cast

Black-is is an American single-camera comedy series that follows an upper-middle-class African-American family struggling to gain sense of cultural identity while living in a predominantly white neighborhood. Starring Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross, the series first premiered on September 24, 2014. With generally positive reviews, the series was renewed and season 2 premiered on ABC on September 23, 2015.

Andre Johnson is an advertising executive who tries to pass on some of his African-American cultural background to his children. His wife Rainbow is a mixed-race, hippie raised surgeon, who really doesn’t have a specific cultural background. Their four children are attractive, popular and entitled, and really don’t want to have anything to do with the family dealings, specifically with the urban background issue that is gnawing their father. Living in a colonial home in an affluent suburb, this family faces the usual parental nightmares that are amplified by Andre’s fear that his children are losing touch with the black culture.

The series continually pushes the envelope discussing “dangerous” topics such as the evolution of the N-word, corporal punishment and gender roles. The show resonates with its viewers because of its honesty that is mixed in with well-written comedy. The result is favorable critics reviews and decent ratings, which could result in ABC picking up the series for another season. If so, viewers will likely see Black-ish Season 3 in the fall of 2016.
