Grown-ish
This is a spin-off version of the hit ABC show Black-ish. Grown-ish follows Dre (Anthony Anderson) and Bow Johnson’s (Tracee Ellis Ross) daughter Zoey (Yara Shahidi) at college.

The series is empowering, as it depicts authentic situations and brings to light issues that exist in society today. This includes the need for safe spaces, analyzing diversity, and more.

The series just finished airing its third season and is scheduled to return for a fourth. Most of the episodes are available on the Freeform app or Hulu.
Famous In Love
Following that college theme, Famous in Love is a young adult drama focused on the life of college student Paige Townsen (Bella Thorne) and how her life drastically changes when she is cast in a Hollywood production. However, an ordinary person must deal with the inside rumblings of the highly-glamorized entertainment industry.
