According to several reports, it looks like ABC has green lit a brand new comedy that will star Anthony Anderson and be produced by Lawrence Fishburne. The new show, titled Black-ish, looks like it will be set up for the fall.
The series is written by Kenya Barris (of BET’s The Game fame) is ‘loosely based on his personal experiences, Black-ish centers on an upper-middle-class black man (Anderson) who struggles to raise his children with some sense of cultural identity despite constant contradictions and obstacles coming from his liberal wife, old-school father, and his own assimilated, color-blind kids.’
Fishburne’s Cinema Gypsy and Principato Young along with ABC Studios are producing. So far, no word yet if Fishburne will appear in the series, but the word is that he may, and he will play Anderson’s father.
