It’s been rumored for months, but now it’s official: black-ish creator Kenya Barris is moving from ABC to Netflix after signing a multi-year production deal with the streamer.
“Kenya Barris is one of our great modern storytellers,” Netflix vice president of original content Cindy Holland said in a statement.
Barris has “continually demonstrated his ability to tell stories about the black experience that resonate with all audiences,” per the official release from Netflix.
Netflix announced the news on Thursday, with Barris set to write and executive-produce all projects exclusively for the streaming service through his production company Khalabo Ink Society.
