Freeform’s grown-ish returns with a new episode, “California Love,” airing on Wednesday, April 17, 2024. The show follows the Johnson family’s eldest daughter, Zoey, as she navigates college life, adulthood, and the challenges that come with leaving the nest.
In this installment, Zoey returns to Los Angeles to produce a California-themed fashion show, aiming to put her fashion brand, Anti-Muse, on the map. Her younger brother, Andre, eager to impress his sister, oversteps in his attempt to showcase his managerial skills. Meanwhile, Zoey and her ex-boyfriend, Aaron, navigate their post-breakup friendship, adding a layer of complexity to their dynamic.
The episode “California Love” continues the show’s exploration of Zoey’s journey beyond the confines of her family and her pursuit of personal and professional success.
The first four seasons focus on Zoey’s journey as she attends the fictional California University of Liberal Arts (Cal U) and befriends a diverse group of students. In the fifth season, the focus shifts to Zoey’s younger brother, Andre Johnson Jr. (Marcus Scribner), as he navigates college life after Zoey’s graduation.
grown-ish stars Yara Shahidi as Zoey, along with Trevor Jackson, Diggy Simmons, Marcus Scribner, Daniella Perkins, and Justine Skye. The show is a spin-off of the popular series Black-ish, created by Kenya Barris and Larry Wilmore.
