Yara Shahidi's 'College-ish' is Adopting a Totally Different Name

The news dropped that Yara Shahidi will be starring in the Black-ish spin-off, College-ish, back in May — but it turns out the show’s not going to be adopting that name after all!

In a new interview with BlackTreeTV, creator Kenya Barris revealed that the name has changed.

“It’s now called Grown-ish,” he explained. “We start the writer’s room Monday. Me and Yara have been in casting, looking for the best, brightest and newest faces. We have some people that we’re really excited about. She is amazing, she’s been my partner on this and it’s great.”

We can’t wait to watch Grown-ish, and find out which new faces Yara and Kenya discovered!
