Last week, we reported that the Black-ish spin-off—which will follow Yara Shahidi’s character Zoey to university, and which has finally been gifted with a title, the somewhat predictable College-ish—would be jumping ship for ABC’s sister-network Freeform. (Formerly ABC Family.) Now, Variety confirms that the series—which was passed up by ABC itself, reportedly for being too “young”— has been given a green light from its new network, which has picked it up for a 13-episode first season.
Shahidi will be joined on the series by recurring Black-ish player Dean Cole, reprising his role as Charlie. The rest of the cast will be newcomers, filling in the student body and administration of Zoey’s new college. Black-ish creator Kenya Barris—who also developed College-ish—expressed his delight at the news, while also offering up some advice to all the aspiring writers in his audience: “To any aspiring writers struggling to make it out there,” Barris joked, “I highly advise adding an ‘–ish’ to any working title you might have. It seems to be the move.”

The spin off is prolly prolly due to schedule conflicts with Blackish & her classes -
