Kenya Barris’ Netflix comedy

Kenya Barris has initiated a TV House by devoting his Personal and professional life for comedy. In 2014, the America’s Next Top celebrty co-creator and The Game writer-producer pulled from his own home dynamics to create black-ish, Kenya Barris’ Netflix comedy an ABC sitcom about a successful dad from South Los Angeles (Anthony Anderson), a mixed-race mom who can’t stop mentioning her advanced medical degree (Tracee Ellis Ross), a popular eldest daughter (Yara Shahidi), a nerdy eldest son (Marcus Scribner), a pair of trouble-making siblings (Marsai Martin and Miles Brown), and a character named Pops (Laurence Fishburn). Cascading off the success of black-ish, currently in its sixth season, Barris spun off Shahidi’s Zoey to grown-ish on Freeform and gave Ross’ Rainbow an ABC prequel series with mixed-ish. Now Barris has launched his first series since leaving ABC Studios for Netflix, Kenya Barris’ Netflix comedy #blackAF, which centers on a successful dad from South Los Angeles (Barris), a mixed-race mom who can’t stop mentioning her advanced law degree (Rashida Jones), a popular eldest daughter (Genneya Walton), a nerdy eldest son (Justin Claiborne), a pair of trouble-making siblings (Ravi Cabot-Conyers and Scarlet Spencer), and a character named Pops. Sound familiar?
