"We're expecting all 8 seasons (176 episodes) of  Black-ish  to be available on Netflix US starting Saturday, January 31st, 2026," the report read.

What Is "Black-ish" About?

The series originally aired on ABC from 2014 to 2022 after being created by Kenya Barris. During its run, the show was nominated for 27 Emmy's with one win.

The official synopsis of the show on Rotten Tomatoes reads: "Dre Johnson (Anthony Anderson) has it all: a great job, a beautiful wife, Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross), four kids and a big home in a classy neighborhood, but as a black man, he begins to question whether all his success has brought too much cultural assimilation for his family. With the help of his father (Laurence Fishburne), Dre begins to try to create a sense of ethnic identity for the members of his family that will allow them to honor their background while preparing them to embrace the future."
