Kenya Barris, Creator of 'Black-ish,' Trying to Exit ABC Studios Deal | THR News

Kenya Barris, creator of Black-ish, is in talks to leave his deal with ABC Studios for a potential mega deal with Netflix, joining other top creators like Shonda Rhimes and Ryan Murphy. Barris has faced creative differences with ABC, particularly over a politically themed episode of Black-ish. Despite being a top comedy writer for ABC, many of his projects have faced challenges, including a failed series with Alec Baldwin. Barris is also involved in film projects, such as a Shaft reboot and a Coming to America sequel. If he moves to Netflix, ABC will lose another top producer.
