After a succesful debut of Season 1 in April, Kenya Barris’ #blackAF has been renewed for Season 2, Deadline confirms.
In the series, Barris will reprise the version of himself while dealing with the modern world, along with Rashida Jones as his wife Joya.
Loosely inspired by Barris’ irreverent, highly flawed, unbelievably honest approach to parenting, relationships, race, and culture, #blackAF flips the script on what we’ve come to expect a family comedy series to be.
#blackAF uncovers the messy, unfiltered and often hilarious world of what it means to be a “new money” black family trying to get it right in a modern world where “right” is no longer a fixed concept.
The Netflix original series stars Barris as a fictionalized version of himself and Rashida Jones (Angie Tribeca) as his wife Joya. Kenya and Joya’s children are played by Genneya Walton (Extant), Iman Benson (Suits), Scarlet Spencer (Bright), Justin Claiborne (Reverie), Ravi Cabot-Conyers (Justine, The Resident) and Richard Gardenhire Jr.
#blackAF is executive produced by Barris, Jones, and Hale Rothstein.
Season 1 of the series is currently streaming on Netflix, watch the trailer below to get started:
