Grown-ish, the acclaimed spin-off of the ABC comedy hit Black-ish, is set to return with its sixth season, creating a buzz among its dedicated fanbase. Developed to follow the Johnson family’s children as they embark on their college journey, this single-camera series, featuring Halle Bailey of The Little Mermaid fame, has captured hearts with its relatable and engaging storytelling.
After a successful run of its first nine episodes, which aired up to August 23 on Freeform, fans eagerly awaited further news. The latest season was divided into two parts due to the impact of the Hollywood writers’ and actors’ strikes. Now, with these disputes resolved, production is back on track, and the countdown to Episode 10 begins.
When Can We Expect Episode 10?
According to reports from Deadline and The Wrap, ABC aims to resume production in early-to-mid December. With the first part of Season 6 taking about three months from the start of filming to airing, it’s likely that fans can expect the second part to release in early spring 2024, potentially in March or April. This timing aligns with Freeform’s initial 2024 release projection, although the strikes have pushed back the schedule.
