2 "Grown-ish" Season 5 Plot

"Grown-ish" season four ended with the core youngsters graduating from college. Now that the original Cal U crew is out in the real world, we'll be following a mostly new group of young people through their formative years.

Ahead of the season four finale, the show added Marcus Scribner, who plays Zoey's little brother Junior on "Black-ish," as a series regular. In an interview with TVLine, showrunners Alexander and Lilly shared the plotline of the upcoming season, saying, "For season five, we're excited to dive deeper into the storylines of Zoey, Aaron, and Doug in their post-grad adventures and welcome a new dynamic class to Cal-U, including Junior."

In addition to Shahidi and Scribner, the show has locked in Trevor Jackson (who plays Zoey's love interest, Aaron) and Diggy Simmons (who plays Dough) for season five. However, fans will not be seeing longtime series regulars Francia Raísa (Ana), Chloe Bailey (Jazz), Halle Bailey (Sky), Emily Arlook (Nomi), Luka Sabbat (Luca), and Jordan Buhat (Vivek) return.

Instead, season five of "Grown-ish" will introduce several new faces, including singer Justine Skye, model Slick Woods, Tara Raani, Amelie Zilber, Ceyair Wright, and Matthew Sato. Daniella Perkins will also return to reprise her role as Kiela, Luca's younger sister.

The good news is there's always room for the original characters to reprise their beloved roles. "Francia, Emily, Chloe, Halle, Luka, and Jordan will always be a part of the -ish' family. This new season isn't a goodbye, we are just expanding the world; there will always be an open door for them to return," showrunners Alexander and Lilly told TVLine.

It'll be interesting to see which "Black-ish" character (aside from Scribner) will surprise fans with an appearance in season five now that the original series has wrapped up.
