Legendary auntie and mother of Black Hollywood Jenifer Lewis has the internet buzzing over an oldie but goodie from her vintage vixen vault where she’s serving throwback thigh meats and a soft fro in her ’70s showgirl days.
Lewis, 63, looks absolutely amazing in the throwback Thursday winner that immediately went viral while reminding everyone that she was, and still is, a stone-cold FOX.
You can catch the hilarious icon on “Old-ish”–the third spin-off of Kenya Barris’s Emmy-nominated series “Black-ish” that continues to expand its ever-growing universe.
If you’re a fan of the franchise, you can probably guess off the title alone that the show will star Laurence Fishburne and Jenifer Lewis as the old-ish on-again/off-again couple that finally moves out of their son’s house.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kenya Barris will write the script and co-produce alongside Fishburne.
Old-ish is the third spinoff in Barris’ “ish” empire which, in addition to the flagship series, includes ABC-turned-Freeform entry Grown-ish, starring Yara Shahidi, and Mixed-ish, a 1980s-set prequel built around the younger version of Tracee Ellis Ross’ character, Rainbow. While Grown-ish was originally developed for ABC, the network at the time thought it skewed too young.
It was eventually picked up to series at Disney’s younger-skewing basic cable network, Freeform as its then head of originals Karey Burke (who is now president of entertainment at ABC) strongly pursued the series. Grown-ish, which has become a calling card for the cabler, returns for its fourth season in 2021. Mixed-ish, starring Arica Himmel, Tika Sumpter and Mark-Paul Gosselaar, will return for its second season on ABC sometime in the 2020-21 season,” they reported.
But, for now, we’ll just tune into Ms. Lewis’s entertaining social media accounts where she continues to push everyone to vote.
