Is Michelle Obama joining the TV show ‘Black-Ish’?
Some shows which seem to have just gotten started already have a cult following after just a few short years on the air. While Friends is ripping up headlines for its recent reunion after over a decade, other sitcoms are just getting their legacies started. Such a show which has taken off to cataclysmic heights is ABC’s hit sitcom Black-ish.
Black-ish began back in 2014, but the show already has a massive following after coming to audiences just seven years ago. Black-ish has seven seasons under its belt already, and fans were ravenous for more when the show’s eighth season was announced in May 2021. However, fans were devastated to learn Black-ish’s eighth season would be the show’s last.
Exciting & bittersweet
Back in May, Black-ish creator Kenya Barris let his followers know on Instagram the show would be ending. He’s quoted saying, “to all the people in the world I love, honor, respect and care for it is both exciting and bittersweet to share that black-ish been renewed by ABC for it’s eighth… and final season”.
The caption continues, “in this day and age it is rare to get to decide when your show should come to an end, and we are grateful along with ABC to be able to make this final season exactly what we’d hoped for – and to do it with the entire and amazingly stellar cast coming back to close this chapter out with us the right way!”.
Now that Black-ish fans know they’ll only get one more season of their favorite show, people are wondering what surprises the series will bring for its final season. This week, some serious rumors spread about the final season of Black-ish, including some exciting guest stars. Here’s what we’ve found.
