It’s almost that time. Five years after its launch with the initial cast of characters, Grown-ish is preparing to say goodbye. However, the crew at Cal U can’t go out in any ordinary way. No, Yara Shahidi and company are going out with a bang! The show’s final season will be split into two parts. With that said, the first half of the show’s final semester will kick off on June 28 with two new stars enrolling as series regulars. Justine Skye will play the role of Annika, “a sharp and funny aspiring media star who picks a college that best fits her personal brand.” Meanwhile, Tara Raani will play the role of Zaara, “a first-generation Indian American whose fearlessness inspires Junior as his best friend and go-to shoulder to lean on.”
“The sixth season, much like Season 5 is set to center entirely around Junior Johnson. This has been foreshadowed by the events of Season 5, which saw him struggling to assert his own identity in the shadow of his highly successful sister Zoey,” the synopsis of season six reads, according to Collider.
“With Junior now poised to take center stage, audiences can expect to follow his journey as he navigates the ups and downs of college life, including the challenges of financial struggles, and evolving relationships. As he strives to establish his place on the varsity and break free from the weight of his sister’s reputation, Junior is sure to encounter a range of new characters and situations that will test his resolve and push him to grow as an individual.”
Until June rolls around, get up to speed with Grown-ish.
