Grown-ish Season 6: What to expect?
The final season plans to welcome some big guest stars including Lil Yachty, Anderson .Paak and The Free Nationals it will be exciting to see how their roles will be played in relation to the overall story. Apart from the release dates, Grown-ish will also hit its 100th episodes which are expected to follow a similar time slot, with new episodes dropping on a weekly basis on Wednesdays at 10:30/9:30c on Freeform, and available to stream the next day on Hulu.
The series is also expected to expand its story from the final episode, “Cash in Cash Out,” of Season 5 which aired a few days ago on Wednesday, March 15, 2023. The episode was directed by Todd Biermann and written by Liz Elverenli. The viewers were eventually made aware of the fact that “In honor of the Gammas’ annual Last Chance Dance, Junior debates telling Annika how he feels about her, even though he’s friends with her boyfriend; Zoey has a setback at Anti-Muse, sending her into a panic about her future.”
Highlighting the ending of the show, the series creator and executive producer Kenya Barris stated, “We’ve spent nearly a decade telling our stories through the -ish series and to say it has been an amazing journey would be an understatement.”
“To be able to watch Yara, Marcus, and our entire ‘grown-ish’ family grow up in front of (and in many ways alongside) us over these past several years has been both a joy and an honor. From the stories we’ve told to the talent we’ve fostered and, most importantly, the memories made, I could not be more proud of everything we’ve accomplished and the -ish family I’ve been a part of.”
The main cast members who are expected to reprise their roles are Trevor Jackson, Diggy Simmons, and Daniella Perkins. The series is produced by ABC Signature and Kenya Barris, Craig Doyle, Yara Shahidi, Anthony Anderson, Laurence Fishburne, Helen Sugland, E.
