Fans of popular TV shows Black-ish and Grown-ish are going to like the new spin off series mixed-ish which is a story of Rainbow Johnson ( the mother in Black-ish).

We’ve seen the story of Dre Johnson (Anthony Anderson ) and Zoe’s character (Yara Shahidi). But we haven’t seen Tracey Ellis Ross’s character.

It revolves around her childhood and it takes place in 1985 at time when there was famine and the crack epidemic had the whole of America shook. Rainbow(Arica Himmel) is a 12-year-old living in a commune that’s considered a radicalized cult by the authorities in the area and they are disassembled.

Unfortunately for her, she’s forced to live a normal life which her and her siblings are finding hard considering they are a mixed race. And at that time of the world children who are of mixed race aren’t necessarily smiled upon.

Mixed-ish is produced by the same people who brought you Black-ish and Grown-ish. For those that aren’t familiar with either one of the shows ill break it down for you.

Black-ish follows Dre Johnson. A middle age black man living in America with five kids, a wife and a job. We follow him and the people surrounding him as we see what they go through just to make things work  the end of the day.
