ABC's 'Blackish' Series Premiere Tonight, September 24th

Fans tonight will be able to watch the new series premiere of ABC's 'Blackish' at 9:31pm ET/PT. 'Blackish', a bold new comedy that takes a multi-generational look at contemporary family issues. The series features Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross and special guest star Laurence Fishburne. Anderson and Fishburne also serve as executive producers.

Like any parents, Andre “Dre” (Anthony Anderson) and Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross) Johnson want to give their children the best.
But their offspring’s childhood is turning out to be much different than theirs. They now realize at least two things: There is a price to pay for giving their children more than what they ever had, and these loving parents are totally unprepared for the fallout. “Pops” (Laurence Fishburne), Dre’s dad, takes every opportunity to offer his old school opinion on family issues.

In "Pilot," Dre, an advertising exec, is happily anticipating a promotion at work, which would make him the firm’s first African American senior vice president. Rainbow, an anesthesiologist, is looking forward to Dre’s raise. Meanwhile, Andre Jr. makes an announcement -- he’s converting to Judaism so he can have a Bar Mitzvah, like all his friends.

'Black-ish' stars Anthony Anderson as Andre “Dre” Johnson, Tracee Ellis Ross as Rainbow Johnson, Yara Shahidi as Zoey Johnson, Marcus Scribner as Andre Johnson, Jr., Miles Brown as Jack Johnson, Marsai Martin as Diane Johnson and special guest star, Laurence Fishburne.
