Loosely inspired by Barris&#8217; irreverent, highly flawed, unbelievably honest approach to parenting, relationships, race, and culture, #blackAF flips the script on what we\u2019ve come to expect a family comedy series to be. Pulling back the curtain, #blackAF uncovers the messy, unfiltered and often hilarious world of what it means to be a \u201cnew money\u201d black family trying to get it right in a modern world where \u201cright\u201d is no longer a fixed concept.  The Netflix original series stars Barris as a fictionalized version of himself and Rashida Jones (Angie Tribeca) as his wife Joya. Kenya and Joya\u2019s children are played by Genneya Walton (Extant), Iman Benson (Suits), Scarlet Spencer (Bright), Justin Claiborne (Reverie), Ravi Cabot-Conyers (Justine, The Resident) and Richard Gardenhire Jr. #blackAF is executive produced by Barris, Jones, and Hale Rothstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"741\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BlackAFPoster.jpg?resize=500%2C741\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BlackAFPoster.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/BlackAFPoster.jpg?resize=202%2C300&amp;ssl=1 202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Series Premiere:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>April 17, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Showrunner &amp; Creator:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenya Barris<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Executive Producers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenya Barris, Rashida Jones, Hale Rothstein<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cast:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenya Barris, Rashida Jones, Iman Benson, Genneya  Walton, Scarlet Spencer, Justin Claiborne, Ravi Cabot-Conyers and   Richard  Gardenhire Jr. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Guest Stars:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nia Long, Issa Rae, Mike Epps, Lena Waithe, Ava DuVernay, Will Packer, Tim Story, Tyler Perry, Bresha Webb, Kym Whitley, Melvin Gregg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Kenya Barris, the Emmy\u00ae nominated creator of black-ish, comes the new comedy series #blackAF.
