‘Black-ish’ Election Special Preview
Black-ish has never been a show to shy away from tackling critical, controversial issues and this Sunday, it is taking on the 2020 election with a stand-alone television event airing ahead of its proper season seven premiere later this month.
The two back-to-back episodes follow the Johnsons as they navigate the upcoming election, with Junior (Marcus Scribner) embarking on his journey as a first-time voter and Dre (Anthony Anderson) launching an exploration into local politics. The special will be presented in part as an animated episode. Oscar-winner Matthew A. Cherry is set to direct.
In “Election Special Pt. 1,” (10:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT), Junior is excited for his first time voting but discovers he has been purged from the voter polls so he does a deep dive into why – trying to understand the systems in place for voter registration.
Then, in a special animated episode, “Election Special Pt. 2,” (10:30-11:00 p.m. ET/PT), Dre’s colleague Stevens (Peter Mackenzie) makes an ill-advised decision to run for Congress, so Dre enlists his family’s help and campaigns against him but gets caught up with fundraising and private interest groups.
The upcoming seventh season of the show returns on Wednesday, October 21 where it will “continue to tell stories that shine a light on current events through the lens of the Johnson family, addressing the global pandemic, systemic racism and the movement for social justice and equality,” according to ABC’s description of the season.
The Black-ish election special airs Sunday, October 4 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. The seventh season premiere airs Wednesday, October 21 at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
