Creating a a spin-off focusing on the daughter while she’s away at college was previously done by Black-ish antecedent The Cosby Show with A Different World, which initially was about Denise Huxtable’s (Lisa Bonet) life at college.
Black-ish may be getting its own take on A Different World.
Deadline reports that Black-ish creator Kenya Barris and executive producer Larry Wilmore are developing an idea for a spin-off that would follow Zoey (Yara Shahidi) as she goes to college college.
Maybe if this show happens, it could be what A Different World was supposed to be.
