Kenya Barris' comedy `Black AF` (stylized as `#blackAF`), will be the first series under the `Black-ish` creator's overall deal with Netflix. Barris and Rashida Jones star in the show inspired by Barris' real-life marriage and unorthodox approach to parenting, relationships, race, and culture.
Originally titled `Black Excellence,` its official synopsis reads: `#blackAF flips the script on what we've 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 'new money' black family trying to get it right in a modern world where 'right' is no longer a fixed concept.`
The Netflix original series stars Barris as a fictionalized version of himself and Rashida Jones as his wife Joya. Kenya and Joya's children are played by Genneya Walton, Iman Benson, Scarlet Spencer, Justin Claiborne, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, and Richard Gardenhire Jr.
`#blackAF` premieres on April 17, check out a first look at the show's newest trailer below.
