Black-ish boss Kenya Barris was just hoping to get a show on the air when he first created the family comedy. Now in its final season, the ABC title starring Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross as the pillars of the Johnson family, has far exceeded his expectations.
“We wanted to say something that as much as we grew up loving the Cosby show, the Cosby show happened to be Black and we wanted to do a show that was absolutely, positively, outwardly Black,” Barris said during the comedy’s TCA panel on Tuesday. “I never in a million years imagined that it would become what it’s become. Our lives, and what we’ve done and how it’s allowed us all to grow into what it’s grown into.”

“Black-ish” Season 7 has received a back order for six additional episodes at ABC.
The order means the critically-acclaimed comedy series will have a full seventh season consisting of 21 episodes, despite the fact that its launch was delayed by the production shutdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

ABC has given a six-episode back order to Black-ish. The pickup brings the order for the praised comedy to 21 episode, which constitutes a full season order, with a potential for more.
The back order comes two days after the seventh season premiere of, Black-ish, which also did an hourlong election special earlier this month.
For the first time since the launch of Black-ish, ABC left the Kenya Barris-created family comedy off the fall schedule when the network announced its fall 2020 lineup in June. The series received a 15-episode midseason order.
Several days later, ABC moved Black-ish back to fall. At the time, on the heels of the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests following the death of George Floyd, the network said that after speaking to Barris, it decided that it was “important to tell these meaningful stories during this moment in time”.

Updated with character poster, 11:32 Am: ABC has released character posters for its upcoming partially animated episode of Black-ish. Here’s how the gang looks when tooned up:
Previous Sept 1 Exclusive: Black-ish is taking it to the ballot box in a partially animated and election themed special to air early next month.
Directed by Oscar winner Matthew A. Cherry, the back-to-back episodes will be broadcast on October 4 on ABC. The only caveat in that plan is if the Orlando bubbled NBA Finals are forced to shift their schedule, which would obviously have a significant ripple effect over the entire ABC programming chart.
Also, ‘Election Special Pt. 1’ and the animated ‘Election Special Pt. 2’ are not the Season 7 premiere of the Kenya Barris created comedy.
Having been enshrined on Wednesdays in the Disney-owned net’s fall schedule back in late June, black-ish’s debut date will be revealed in the next week...

“I then came back with the story of one family trying to out-black the other black family on the vacation,” star Anthony Anderson said during Deadline’s virtual Contenders Television event, discussing the partial inspiration for the Kenya Barris-created show’s writers for Season 6’s “Kid Life Crisis” episode.
“There’s always another door you can enter when you come into a room someplace,” the multiple Emmy nominee said of the competition of wealth and access that African American families too often find themselves forced into in predominantly white environments, like luxury holidays.

New York -- It's not your father's comedy business anymore.
Production and management firm Generate is taking more control of comedy content in the digital age and pushing it across various platforms with the launch of Degenerate, a label co-branded with distribution partner Warner Bros. Records.
It is developing content from established and up-and-coming comedians, including ones represented by Generate's talent division, and distributing it across platforms in the form of TV specials, DVDs, CDs and digital offerings. Touring blitzes by featured talent also are part of the equation.
The template for the label is the successful Blue Collar Comedy brand, which also is distributed by Warner Bros. Records. Degenerate will feature more metropolitan comedy though.
To ensure more control over the production -- handled by Generate Studios and its recently promoted head of production Michael Petok -- and licensing of content, Generate funds the production of one-hour comedy...
