Today, Freeform, which already has Black-ish spin-off Grown-ish, ordered the Besties TV show to series. The comedy comes from Barris and co-creator Ranada Shepard. For now, the start date is TBD.

A Freeform sitcom, Besties delves into issues of identity, race, and class, through the lens of a lasting friendship. Learn more about Besties, season one, from this Freeform TV show description.
