I’m also blown away by the love we’ve gotten from our fans, whose excitement and passion played a massive part in this renewal. Thank you, witches!â€

Each episode is told from the POV of one of the two main girls (Jeanette and Kate), which will have the viewers loyalties constantly shifting as more information is revealed.
Zoey gets a big hug from her friends in this still from the mid-season premiere of grown-ish.
In the return ep, titled “Crunch Time”, junior year is here and and the gang throws a HBCU-themed Homecoming party to kick off the semester.

Chloe X Halle are ready to debut their new, mature sound!
The singing sister duo recently spilled on what fans can expect from their upcoming album, Ungodly Hour.
“It’s more grown; it’s sexy, it’s darker,” Halle told Popsugar.
Chloe later added, “We’re not little kids anymore.”
They described their new sound as “edgier, grittier” R&B and played a role in the entire process – from melodies to lyrics and production.
Chloe continued, “I’ll make a beat and Halle will hear some really sick melodies and go on the mic and record them. I’ll lay some melodies down and splice [them] together, and then we do lyrics, but we never force it. It’s much like throwing paint on a wall and seeing what happens, and that’s the beauty of it.”
There are only a handful of days left until the new season of grown-ish is here and star Luka Sabbat is dishing about that love triangle between Zoey, Luca and Aaron.
“There’s drama, all right,” Luka shared in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, teasing the new season.
He adds, “I mean, there’s a lot going on besides my love triangle. It’s pretty comedic in the sense that [Luca] and Aaron are such different people. He’s this super-charismatic, outgoing, fun guy. I’m not going to say I’m a recluse, but I’m definitely keen to chill. And Zoey has different moods, and we each fit differently with different moods.”
On top of the love triangle, Luka also opened up about his friendship with Yara Shahidi.
“I hang out with Yara in real life, so I forget that we’re in a show together,” he says. “We have a lot of fun cognitive discourses, and we agree and disagree on a lot. We always share music because we have similar but different music tastes. We kick it.”
He continues, “The other day we had lunch at the Chateau and hung out, and I saw her at the Golden Globes after-party. It’s just funny: I could not see her for months, and then we see each other and pick up on the last time we talked.”
grown-ish returns on Thursday, January 16th on Freeform.
