Tracee Ellis Ross – Cast Announced For Potential ‘Black-ish’ Spinoff Centered On Her Character ‘Rainbow’ 

ABC’s hit comedy Black-ish, now in its fifth season, just might be gearing up to produce yet another spinoff of the popular family show.

It was previously reported that a potential spinoff was being centered around the character of Rainbow, played by Golden Globe award winner Tracee Ellis Ross. Well, now the cast has officially been announced for the spinoff’s pilot—meaning it’s one step closer to reality.

After the success of the Black-ish spinoff Grown-ish, which follows actress Yara Shahidi’s character as she navigates through college life, the executives of the family comedy are looking to potentially strike gold twice courtesy of a second spinoff. This one would be solely focused on family matriarch Rainbow and her interracial upbringing as a teen in the 80s/90s.
