The 2022 holiday movie season may be winding down, but the 2023 edition is already taking shape: award-winning actor, producer and CEO Tracee Ellis Ross has teamed up with Eddie Murphy for the holiday comedy “Candy Cane Lane.”
Directed by Reginald Hudlin, the Amazon Studios-produced movie is currently filming in Los Angeles with a script by Kelly Younger, inspired by his own childhood holiday experiences. The project marks the first time the two comedians will share the screen, though specifics of Ross’ role, like all plot details, are being kept under wraps.
News of the project comes after Ross ended her critically-acclaimed run as star and producer of ABC’s “Black-ish” last spring. For eight seasons, Ross played Rainbow Johnson on the family comedy, winning a Golden Globe and six NAACP Image Awards, as well as five Primetime Emmy and two Critics Choice nominations.

Gearing up for the final episodes of ABC’s “Black-ish,” 22-year-old Marcus Scribner was happy with his performance in the long-running hit sitcom.
“I was ready to move on from the character,” says Scribner, who was 14 when “Black-ish” debuted, with Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross in the leading roles as Andre and Rainbow Johnson. “But they were like, ‘Hold on one minute. Slow your roll.’”
Late in Season 8, Scribner was approached with a new opportunity. Yara Shahidi had just finished four seasons on “Grown-ish,” Freeform’s college-set “Black-ish” spinoff, and while there was more left for her character, eldest daughter Zoey, to do on the show, she was ready to step back as the main star and focus more on her role as an executive producer. Her first order of business: to pass the torch to her on-screen sibling.

After eight seasons and 175 episodes, ABC’s “Black-ish” has definitely ended its run with a real legacy. Star Tracee Ellis Ross agrees. “I really hope that our show leaves a promise of what it is to see an American family that is Black, and that we are universally identifiable,” she tells Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast. “And that even with the specificity of certain experiences, and that the universality of what it is to be, an American family can be seen through many different faces. I’m blown away by what we were able to share, and the truth of it, and how identifiable it was across the board.”
Adds Anthony Anderson: “When people walk up to me, and tell me when they see our family on screen, they see their family, that is meaningful to me. But aside from from work in what we’ve done on screen,...

Tracee Ellis Ross has reaped five Emmy bids for her starring role on the ABC comedy series “Black-ish.” On her first two outings, she fell victim to the long winning streak of Julia Louis-Dreyfus (“Veep”), and was then bested by Rachel Brosnahan (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), Catherine O’Hara (“Schitt’s Creek”), and Jean Smart (“Hacks”).
Now that her show has wrapped its eighth and final season, there is one last opportunity to make Ross’s Rainbow Johnson an Emmy-winning character. However, even if this does not come to be, Johnson will be in good company joining 10 other beloved female TV characters who suffered Emmy snubs for six or more nominations each.

When the sitcom Black-ish debuted in 2014, it didn’t take long for the show to become a huge hit. At a time where all-Black sitcoms were virtually nonexistent, Black-ish has ushered in a new generation of diversity in the entertainment industry. Plus, the show’s starstudded cast meant that it had no trouble attracting a wide range of viewers. The show became so successful that it eventually resulted in two spin-offs as well as two more than are currently in talks. One of those spin-offs, Mixed-ish, debuted in 2019. The series followed Tracee Ellis-Ross’ Black-ish character, Rainbow Johnson, and her life

black-ish‘s Bow knows medicine. Bow knows how to raise a family. But Bow does not know many common cultural touchstones of the 1970s and 80s, thanks to her early childhood in a peace-and-love commune.
Rainbow Johnson’s upbringing, a frequent punchline on the ABC comedy, now has its own prequel spinoff series: mixed-ish. The title refers both to Bow’s parentage — she’s got a white dad and a black mom — and to the way she and her siblings felt when unforeseen circumstances forced them out of communal living and into the harsh world of 1980s suburbia.

Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross is set to star in and executive produce adult animated comedy Jodie, the first in a series of spinoffs based on MTV’s iconic Daria franchise. Ross will voice the title character, Jodie.
Daria, which ran for five seasons (1997-2002), came out of MTV’s Beavis and Butthead based on the widespread appeal of the Daria Morgendorffer character whose wry wisdom was beyond her high school years. Daria was hailed for her feminist take on key issues such as class, race and gender.
Created and written by Grace Nkenge Edwards (Insecure), Jodie will be centered around fan favorite and Daria’s good friend Jodie Landon (voiced by Ross), an African American character from the original series credited with helping to shape a generation of women. Jodie will follow her as she comes into her own and enters the workplace in her first post-college job in tech.

ABC has released trailers for the three new shows joining its fall 2019-2020 lineup.
New drama “Stumptown,” which stars Cobie Smulders, will air on Wednesday nights, while “Emergence,” which the network brought over from NBC, joins new “Black-ish” spinoff “Mixed-ish” (pictured above) on Tuesdays.
ABC has notably picked up the fewest new series of the big four this year, and has more than halved its fall influx of shows from seven down to three. ABC entertainment president Karey Burke said the decrease reflects the network’s new focus on “stability” and “launching shows in a way our audience will know we are committed to them.”

ABC is not presently moving forward with its “NYPD Blue” series continuation, but the project is not outright dead at the broadcaster.
Sources confirm to Variety that the network remains high on the project but feel it needs to be reworked before it is ready for air. The show may still get a midseason pickup once some tweaks have been made.
ABC gave “NYPD Blue” a pilot production commitment back in October. The new series follows Theo Sipowicz, son of original series main character Andy Sipowicz, as he tries to earn his detective shield and work in the 15th squad while investigating his father’s murder. The pilot stars Fabien Frankel, Alona Tal, Kim Delaney, Bill Brochtrup, Rick Gomez, Ashley Thomas, and Sofia Barclay.
