The Executive Producers of "Grown-ish" includes this TV and movie star?

Anthony Anderson is one of the television and movie stars credited as an executive producer of “Grown-ish.” He also played Andre “Dre” Johnson on the parent series “Black-ish,” from which “Grown-ish” was spun off. His producing role connects the two shows behind the scenes as well as through the shared fictional universe.

“Grown-ish” follows Zoey Johnson, played by Yara Shahidi, as she leaves home for college and navigates independence, friendships, relationships, identity, and academic pressure. The series was created by Kenya Barris and Larry Wilmore and premiered on Freeform in January 2018.

Anderson’s involvement is easy to confuse with his acting appearances: he is primarily known on the show’s wider franchise as Dre, but his “Grown-ish” credit is executive producer. Other executive producers have included Barris, Helen Sugland, Brian Dobbins, Laurence Fishburne, and members of the production team. The series ran for six seasons and concluded in 2024.
