‘grown-ish’ Season 5 Preview
“Grown-ish’s” parent show “Black-ish” went off the air in the spring of 2022, which means that “Grown-ish” is gaining a new cast member — Marcus Scribner is heading to the spinoff to join his TV sister Yara Shahidi. He is reprising his role of Andre Jr., younger brother to Zoey (Shahidi), as he starts his own journey of figuring out what it means to be “grown.”
The premiere episode is titled “This is What You Came For” and its description reads, “Zoey returns to Cal U to support Junior’s first day on campus but soon realizes that she may be missing her Cal U days more than she let on. After meeting his new classmates, Junior seeks to escape dorm life by attending Doug’s White Party.”
Then on July 27 comes episode two, “High Society.” Its description reads, “Friction mounts between Junior and Annika when one of them is tapped for a secret society. Red flags start to arise when Aaron discovers the university is overusing his image to promote how ‘diverse and inclusive’ they are.”
In an interview with TV Insider, Scribner teased that the show is going to deal with issues that all young adults can relate to.
“It deals with issues that I feel like we face on a daily basis as young people and the trials and tribulations of college life,” said Scribner. “But also the pressures of real life crashing down onto you. You have no money, you’re struggling to fit in socially and understand who you are, and our characters go through all of that.”
He added, “Being able to have [Junior] learn some of those life lessons has been really fun. I’ve also learned a lot as an actor being on the show, I feel like I’ve had experiences I’ve never had before. … The new cast [they’re my] closest friends. I feel like I don’t have too many friends in the industry, but I can say that’s a core group that I really rock with.”
He also teased that Junior has “a lot more female friends than people would come to expect,” but don’t worry — there’s romance coming too.
“I think it’s really cool because it’s a platonic relationship with a lot of [the women],” said Scribner, adding, “[But] ‘Grown-ish’ is known for their romances, so there will be a lot of romancing.”
“Grown-ish” airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on Freeform.
