    BLACK-ISH - "Becoming Bow" - After Dre and the kids question Bow's unusual upbringing, we flashback to a young, 12-year old Rainbow living in a commune with her family. When the commune is unexpectedly raided, they are upended and must move to the suburbs. The mixed-race family has difficulty acclimating to this new, mainstream life and the kids struggle with their biracial identity as they try to fit in at their new school, on a special, all-new episode of "black-ish," TUESDAY, MAY 7 (9:00-9:30 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network.

    The “Black-ish” spin-off “Mixed-ish” was announced by ABC May 2.

    What We Know:

    • “Black-ish” follows Anthony Anderson as he plays the patriarch and leader of his family into a world led by their predominantly upper-class white counterparts.
    • The new spin-off, co-written by “Black-ish” created Kenya Barris,will focus on “the childhood of Rainbow Johnson, the character played by Tracee Ellis Ross, and her experience growing up in a mixed-race family in the ‘80s.”
    • “Black-ish” has received support over it’s renewal but there hav been numerous negative responses concerning the new spinoff.
    • The franchise is being seen as another example of the company focusing more on light-skinned actors than dark-skinned actors.
    • While these light-skinned actors and voices take the spotlight, it leaves little space for the dark-skinned actors and voices in the entertainment industry.
    • According to a recent report by TVStudy, there were 18 characters of color in the top 100 series, with no characters of color in the top 10 on the list.
    • Serious work needs to be done by not only the franchise but the network to include every voice in their projects.

    Hopefully, ABC hears and acts upon this feedback accordingly.
