Yara Shahidi and Marcus Scribner first joined the Johnson family a decade ago.
The then-child actors landed starring roles in ABC’s black-ish as Zoey and Andre Johnson, the eldest two of five precocious siblings with big ambitions. Little did they know, 10 years later, they’d finally be bidding farewell to these characters — on an entirely different show.
Freeform’s grown-ish wrapped its sixth and final season on Wednesday, closing that chapter for Shahidi and Scribner.
“It feels crazy. It feels odd. It’s been 10 years of doing the same thing for so long and growing with the character,” Scribner told Deadline. “You create a family and you create a lot of friends and have to say goodbye to all that, but I’m thankful that we get to send off the show with an actual little bowtie to end it all off.”

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the grown-ish series finale “Grown.”] Grown-ish bid farewell after six seasons in an emotional series finale on May 22. In the penultimate episode, Zoey (Yara Shahidi) bolted after Aaron’s (Trevor Jackson) romantic proposal, and she consulted Ana (Francia Raisa), Nomi (Emily Arlook), Vivek (Jordan Buhat), and more about how to handle this delicate situation. So, did Zoey and Aaron get their happy ending? Luka (Luka Sabbat) tried one last time to win Zoey’s heart, but barely tried at all. He FaceTimed Zoey and told her that he’d always loved her. Zoey put him firmly in the friend zone and said they’d forever be “long distance pals.” A big L for Team Luka. Zoey and Aaron were forced to confront their future at Junior’s graduation boat party. She explained that she’s spent the last year trying to be “less selfish” and a “more balanced person.” Zoey admitted that she “...

Taking cues from The Cosby Show’s iconic spinoff A Different World but updated for some 30 years later, Grown-ish, the Black-ish spawn premiered on Freeform in January 2018 by following Yara Shahidi’s Zoey Johnson, Dre (Anthony Anderson) and Bow’s (Tracee Ellis Ross) firstborn, to college. Similar to its predecessor, Grown-ish tackled many controversial topics, including university investment in the prison system, drug use, pre-nil exploitation of college athletes, sex, the value of college and more, but did so with a fresh voice and perspective.
Zoey’s college world included her competing love interests — woke Black campus activist Aaron (Trevor Jackson) and ultimate hipster Luca (Luka Sabbat) — as well as Latina Republican Ana (Francia Raìsa), Jewish rebel Nomi (Emily Arlook), first-generation Indian American and all-around hustler Vivek (Jordan Buhat), Olympic-bound South Los Angeles track stars Jazz and Sky (sisters Chloe and Halle Bailey, who perform the show’s theme song) and later,...

Spoiler Alert! This post contains details from the series finale of Freeform’s grown-ish.
It’s the end of an era.
Freeform’s grown-ish ended its run Wednesday night after six seasons with Junior (Marcus Scribner) celebrating his graduation in a bit of an unexpected way.
While he and his friends are hoping for one last hoorah before their adult life begins, Junior’s plans for a graduation party are interrupted by his new boss, who needs him to tend to a client’s yacht all day instead. Fresh off a rejected proposal, Aaron (Trevor Jackson) decides to join him and hopefully avoid Zoey (Yara Shahidi) at all costs.
Their friends have other ideas, though. Before long, this stranger’s yacht is filled to the brim with 20-somethings and bottles of alcohol.
Junior spends much of the party pretty frantically trying to make sure his boss doesn’t find out...

Exclusive: Adriyan Rae lands recurring role on Netflix’s Forever created by Mara Brock Akil.
Forever is a reimagination of the 1975 novel by Judy Blume and follows the epic love story of two Black teens exploring their identities through the awkward — and moving — journey of being each other’s firsts in 2018 Los Angeles.

Jennifer Lopez has spent the better part of her career navigating the two halves of her public persona: Bronx-born girl next door “Jenny from the block” and Hollywood power player “J.Lo.” Though much of the tension between the two has been amplified by media coverage that spans calculated marketing campaigns and inescapable paparazzi scrutiny, Lopez has frequently seemed to capitulate to whichever of the two serves her best at the time.
“This is Me…Now: A Love Story” is, on its face, the visual component of her self-funded ninth studio album, and at a reported $20 million price tag it’s easy to see it first and foremost as an advertisement. But as not only the subject but star, co-writer and executive producer of an interlinked series of music videos, Lopez showcases above all else how tough it is to express oneself personally after more than 30 years in the public eye,...

In the summer of 2022, Netflix released “Halftime,” a glossy, shiny, and intermittently revelatory documentary focused on global icon Jennifer Lopez. That offering found unexpected (if highly unrelatable) pathos in the star’s distress over not being nominated for an Oscar for her (quite good) turn in “Hustlers.” Just twenty months later, and yet another streamer is now releasing its own glossy, shiny, and intermittently revelatory film project focused on global icon Jennifer Lopez. The pathos, though? That’s mostly missing, but certainly not for lack of trying.
The project comes from the mind of Lopez herself, who also co-financed the effort. It’s clunkily titled (and punctuated) as “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story,” linking it inextricably with Lopez’s latest studio album, which just so happens to be dropping the same day as its “cinematic” component. Synergy!

Until recently, Spectrum accounted for 20 percent of Disney’s linear-television reach. The Charter video provider now represents exactly zero percent of the reach for eight Disney cable channels: Baby TV, Disney Junior, Disney Xd, Freeform, Fxm, Fxx, Nat Geo Wild, and Nat Geo Mundo.
Their dropped carriage on a major player may be a death sentence for the channels. And Disney could just be first at the gallows.
Carriage (cable) and retransmission (broadcast) deals, in which an MVPD (Multichannel Video Programming Distributor) or virtual MVPD (vMVPD) pay a channel provider for the rights to include their networks in a customer’s video package, do not all come up for renewal at once. Spectrum v. Disney may have set precedent like a court case; going forward, why would any cable company continue to pay Disney for those seemingly disposable eight channels?

It’s a good thing Zoey (Yara Shahidi) hasn’t turned off the ringer on her phone just yet during her and Aaron’s (Trevor Jackson) date night in TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the July 5 episode of grown-ish. “You know you did not have to go through all this trouble,” Zoey tells Aaron. “Plus, can I say I’m sorry? I know I’ve been a little extra stressed about Anti-Muse lately, and I’ve been taking it out on you and the cabinets, which, by the way, I noticed are all closed?” Aaron explains that’s because she’s his “number one priority,” and she tells him he’s hers … before her phone distracts her. As she’s going to turn off her ringer, she checks the email that came through and realizes that someone she thought was blowing her off wasn’t and instead,...

Exclusive: Shia Labeouf has joined action thriller Mace, directed by Jon Amiel from a script by David Chisholm. Trevor Jackson will co-star. Myriad Pictures is shopping the project to buyers here in Cannes this week.

Everyone around Mace is in danger as Mace plays his game and tries to conceal his tracks, no matter the cost.

Now, it's time to say goodbye to the iconic character, as Freeform announced "Grown-ish" has been renewed for a sixth and final season.
In a video posted to Freeform's YouTube channel on March 29, Shahidi (who will next star as Tinkerbell in Disney+'s latest adaptation "Peter Pan and Wendy") made the announcement herself, promising the show's "day ones" that the final season will not disappoint.

Chloe Bailey may seem like she lets criticism slide off her, but in a new interview with People she admits that it can sometimes get to her.
That was the case, she explained, when she recently embarked on a solo career after working for years with sister Halle as Chloe x Halle.
“We both didn’t really know who we were individually without the other, and that’s what was really scary for me,” Bailey said of striking out on her own. “It was a moment of self-doubt where I was like, ‘Can I do this without my sister?'”

Grown-ish is closing in on an end date at Freeform.
The basic cabler announced Wednesday that the previously announced sixth season will be the last for the Kenya Barris-created comedy.
The first half of Grown-ish Season 6 will premiere this summer, while the second half will be held for 2024.
"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," Barris said in a statement announcing the news.
"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.
