The promo video for the new season of ‘black-ish‘ spinoff, grownish, takes us back to Hillman College. But instead of the late, great Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin laying the vocals, co-stars, Chloe x Halle are putting a millennial twist on the 90’s inspired theme song.
A Different World documented the HBCU college life in the late 80s, early 90s, starring Jasmine Guy, Kadeem Hardison, Jada Pinkett Smith and others. The show aired between 1987-1993 on NBC.
Fast forward twenty-plus years later, season two of grown-ish follows Zoey, played by Yara Shahidi and her friends as they go about their ventures in their sophomore year at CalU. They thought they learned their hardest lessons in freshmen, but little do they know, the life of adulting has just begun.
Season 2 of grown-ish premieres Jan. 2 on Freeform.
