The veteran comedy will conclude in 2022.
May 14, 2021
It was announced today that Black-ish has been renewed for an eighth and final season. Creator Kenya Barris broke the news with an Instagram post where he expressed his gratitude for being able to end the show on his own terms, and thanked everyone involved along the way.
Known to incorporate storylines related to real-world issues based on current events pertaining to African-Americans, the half-hour series continues to draw critical acclaim - including picking up multiple NAACP Image Awards. The show is ABC's second-longest running comedy currently on the air, and recently surpassed the 150-episode milestone. It also has two spin-offs currently on the air, with Freeform's 'Grown-ish' and ABC's 'Mixed-ish' in their fourth and second seasons, respectively.
Black-ish follows patriarch Andre 'Dre' Johnson, who has a beautiful wife, a job he loves, and four kids. They all live in a nice colonial home in the suburbs, but Dre wonders if success has brought too much assimilation to his African-American family.
Look for Season 8 of Black-ish as a midseason entry during the 2021-2022 season.

After zoey left the show had no direction. The episodes are silly and less meaningful. I feel they jumped the shark.

@Byteme "How many seasons of White-ish have there been, oh yeah none." It's called The Goldbergs and they just go renewed for season 9

Although the writers did a good job adapting the storylines as the Johnson children got older, I am a bit sad by this news. At least "black-ish" will get a proper send-off.

How does a Major television network renew a TV show that can barely attract less than 2 million viewers. There can't generate enough TV ad time to pay for the show.

I am glad they get a chance to have a proper finale.

ABC/Disneys show will sadly come to an end. I will surely miss the casual and flippant racist jokes and comments against white people, which is somehow ok.
