Black-ish creator Kenya Barris will write Old-ish, the third spinoff of Black-ish after Grown-ish and Mixed-ish. Old-ish would revolve around Fishburne's Earl "Pops" Johnson and Lewis' Ruby Johnson, the parents of Anthony Anderson's Dre. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "the spinoff will follow Ruby and Earl as they give love a second chance. When they move to a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood of L.A., they'll meet characters who represent the old and new faces of the community as they try to make it work as a married couple. Again." Barris will write the script despite exiting ABC for a lucrative Netflix deal. Barris will serve as executive producer along with Fishburne and Anderson, while Lewis will serve as a producer.
