Yara Shahidi Signs Overall Deal with ABC Studios, Forms Production Company with Mom Keri!

Yara Shahidi just inked a sweet new deal with ABC Studios!

The grown-ish star and her mom Keri are forming their own production company called 7th Sun as part of the deal, Variety reports.

The mother-daughter duo will “develop and produce scripted and alternative television projects for cable, streaming and broadcast.”

“I’m thrilled to be partnering with my home family, ABC Studios, in this exciting next chapter, alongside my family,” Yara dished. “It’s exciting to add our production company to the roster of my peers and mentors who are also actively committed to sharing meaningful stories.”

“We can’t wait to extend and expand our relationship with the incredibly talented Yara Shahidi, who has been a member of the family since black-ish,” ABC Studios president Jonnie Davis said in a statement. “When she’s not studying at Harvard and starring in our series grown-ish, she’s mentoring and inspiring other young people, which makes us all feel like underachievers but also very proud that she’s part of our Studio.”

Yara currently stars in and serves as a producer on her Freeform series grown-ish, and she was also a co-executive producer on the short film Hair Love.
