Black-ish Season 7 Opening on ABC at October 21, 2020 and a day after on Hulu
Comedy / TV-Series (2014)
ABC comedy tv-series returns for Season 7 on October 21, 2020. This sunday at 10 pm, the Johnson family will appear in a pre-season, hour-long, partially animated black-ish special focused on the upcoming presidential election.
In the first of two back-to-back episodes, Junior excitedly makes his way to the polls to cast his first vote ever, only to find he’s been purged from the voter rolls. In the second, Dre’s co-worker Stevens runs for Congress, prompting an irate Dre to campaign against him. Oscar-winning director Matthew Cherry (Hair Love) helms both episodes.
Ahead of the special, we got on the phone with black-ish boss Courtney Lilly to discuss what’s ahead for the Johnsons in the special and beyond.
