Halle Bailey isn't expected to return as Sky Forster after her character gained a spot on the Olympic Team at the end of season 3. It coincides with Bailey's star rising in real life after she was cast as Princess Ariel in the upcoming live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. She's also one half of the music duo Chloe x Halle with her twin sister Chloe.

Cast members from Grown-ish's father show Black-ish have made regular guest appearances. It's currently not clear if the likes of Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross or Laurence Fishburne will make cameos again in Season 4.

Future Black-ish Spin-Offs

Old-ish, a spin-off following the lives of characters played by Fishburne and Jenifer Lewis is in development but Deadline reported that there are currently no plans to film a pilot. Brown-ish, a series that would center around the lives of a modern Latino family involving Eva Longoria, is also a concept that is in development.
