“Black-ish” creator Kenya Barris is leaving his longtime home at ABC, amid reports that he is heading on over to Netflix for one of those nine-figure pacts.
A representative for ABC Studios told TheWrap Friday that Barris’ overall deal with the studio — which was supposed to be good through 2021 — will terminate in August.
“I’m very grateful to Patrick Moran and his team at ABC Studios, who have supported me every step of the way as I created the worlds of black-ish, grown-ish, and now Besties,” Barris said in a statement. “It has been an incredible ride including a Peabody and Golden Globe win, Emmy nominations, and many other accolades. But most importantly, they’ve allowed me to realize my dream of creating my own shows and I’m so proud of the work we’ve done together. No matter what, the studio has never wavered in their support of my creative vision.
