Kids grow up so fast. It seems like just yesterday, Zoey Johnson was still a plucky teen, getting into shenanigans with her siblings much to the dismay of her parents. Now, the Black-ish breakout character is headed for college in celebrated spin-off Grown-ish.
Zoey has seemingly made a new major for herself, “The Sociology of Fashion,” and will spend her formative years in school learning to be the stylist she always dreamed of being. Of course, she’ll also bump heads with roommates, fall in love, or live out all the classic college experiences along the way.
Here’s everything you need to know to stream Grown-ish.

Grown-ish Reviews
What the critics are saying:
- “More than a worthy inheritor to its network progenitor, Grown-ish takes full advantage of Shahidi’s presence and energy to realistically explore what the undergrad experience is like in the modern age, without ginning up a cautionary tone or diluting the honesty of its plot points.” Melanie Mc Farland, Salon
- “The show clearly possesses promise. Yet despite passing that first test, Grown-ish is going to need to do some more growing to avoid getting lost in the crowd.” Brian Lowry, CNN
