Tracee Ellis Ross from Black-ish may actually be getting her own television show reports BET.com. One of the program’s leading stars, Tracee Ellis Ross, is apparently in talks with a production company about a spin-off revolving around her character.
In a report from Deadline, the outlet claims the show will be previewed in an episode of Black-ish starring Anthony Anderson among other performers, and it’ll also highlight the series’ latest and 5th season. The episode will feature some old memories including childhood moments and other interesting tidbits from Rainbow Johnson’s past.
It will lead to a prequel revolving around her experiences growing up as a young girl. Tracee’s character is interesting for a couple of different reasons, one of which is the fact she has a multicultural upbringing including a mother who’s a “hippie.”
Set in the 1980s and 1990s, the show will explore sociocultural-political issues through the use of comedy. If it actually ends up happening, this will mark the second spin-off of the series. The first one is called Grown-ish, and it stars Yara Shahidi.
