Black-ish: Season 1
Black-ish Season 1: Find out all about the new comedy guest starring Laurence Fishburne & cast promotional pics!
We have to admit, when it was first announced that Laurence Fishburne was cast in the new ABC comedy Black-ish, we were seriously concerned that his Hannibal days were numbered, even more so after the events of the season two finale. However, not to worry Fannibals as Laurence himself has confirmed that he will be dividing his time between both shows.
So what’s his new series Black-ish all about you cry? Well we’ve got all the info on the new comedy which also stars Anthony Anderson and all the cast promotional pictures ahead of its first season.
Head inside for all the details…
The captain of The Matrix‘s Nebuchadnezzar hovercraft is great at fighting in slo-mo and giving exposition. But is he funny? The answer’s a definite “yes”—at least, according to Anthony Anderson, who stars with Laurence Fishburne (a.k.a. Morpheus) in the upcoming sitcom Blackish. “Laurence started out on Pee Wee’s Playhouse back in the day”. “People forget about his sense of humor and his comedic timing and abilities.”
The main story of the show revolves around a upper middle class black family man struggling to gain a sense of his cultural identity while he raises his kids in a mostly white and also upper class area. It seems that cultural identity will be a key theme of this new show.
Anthony Anderson plays the lead in the show, while Tracee Ellis Ross will take on the role of his wife and Laurence Fishburne will play the title character’s father “Pops”.While Fishburne himself will be splitting his time between the new series and Hannibal when the third season starts up again, the show is actually going to be produced by his own Cinema Gypsy production company.
The half hour long series, which is scripted by Kenya Barris, is loosely based on his own life while he has said previously how he was the “black guy at work” and his kids were the “black kids at school” when discussing the idea for the series.
The show also stars child actors; Miles Brown and Yara Shadidi, who viewers may recognize from her the film Imagine which she starred alongside Eddie Murphy.
The series is set to air its first episode on ABC on September 24th.
