"Black-ish" Announces New Prequel Spinoff "Mixed-ish" About Rainbow's Backstory

Get ready because Black·ish’s second spin-off, Mixed·ish, is officially coming soon!

After the success of the first spin-off, the Yara Shahidi-led Grown·ish, ABC unveiled the first official trailer for their new series Mixed-ish across socials and YouTube. “It’s not easy being a Rainbow in a black and white world. From executive producers of black-ish and grown-ish, mixed-ish is coming to ABC,” the trailer’s description reads.

The series will follow a young version of Tracee Ellis Ross’ character Rainbow Jackson (a.k.a. Bow) — whom we’ve already known and loved for five seasons of Black·ish. Set in 1985, the show serves as a prequel and will center around 12-year-old Rainbow — played by Arica Himmel.

After the hippie commune Rainbow and her family live in (or cult as her present-day husband Dre puts it) has more than couple mishaps with the law and is dismantled by the ATF, they are forced to moved to the suburbs to start a new life and, you guessed it, a new high school. Mixed·ish will deal with Rainbow’s experience navigating a new school and figuring out her identity as a mixed teen and will recount “the constant dilemmas [the family] had to face over whether to assimilate or stay true to themselves."

“My parents had sent us out into the world with absolutely no warning that being mixed was even a thing,” Tracee’s voice narrates in the trailer. “Imagine being the new kid when no one in the world is like you. You have to understand: today’s mixed kids can look up to rappers, ballerinas, athletes, a president, and a princess. The only heroes we had were DeBarge.”

In the trailer, we’re introduced to her parents Paul and Alicia (played in the trailer by Anders Holm, who is actually being recast, and Tika Sumpter), her pro-Second Amendment grandparent and siblings, Johan and Santamonica (played by Ethan William Childress and Mykal-Michelle Harris).

While the upcoming sitcom does not have an exact premiere date yet, the trailer does anticipate it will come “very soon.” Per Deadline, much like its counterpart Black·ish, that “very soon” actually means Tuesdays on ABC this fall. We can’t wait.
