The fifth season of Black-ish will air from October 16, 2018 on ABC in the United States.[1] It is produced by Khalabo Ink Society, Cinema Gypsy Productions, Principato-Young Entertainment and ABC Studios, with creator Kenya Barris, who also serves as executive producer alongside Anthony Anderson, Brian Dobbins, Jonathan Groff and Helen Sugland.
The series revolves around Dre, portrayed by Anthony Anderson, a family man who struggles with finding his cultural identity while raising his kids in a white neighbourhood. He lives with his wife, Bow (Tracee Ellis Ross).
This is the second season not to have Yara Shahidi as a part of the main cast, due to her character receiving her own spin-off show, Grown-ish.
