BLACK-ISH will air two special election-themed episodes, ABC announced.
Two episodes, which will air before the season officially kicks off, will be partially animated, with Matthew A. Cherry set to direct. They are tentatively set to air Sunday, October 4 at 10/9c, pending the NBA Finals schedule.
Here’s ABC’s tease for the episodes: “In ‘Election Special Pt. 1,’ (10:00-10:30 p.m. EDT), Junior is excited for his first time voting but discovers he has been purged from the voter polls so he does a deep dive into why – trying to understand the systems in place for voter registration. ‘Election Special Pt. 1’ is directed by Matthew A. Cherry and written by Eric Horsted.
“Then, in a special animated episode, ‘Election Special Pt. 2,’ (10:30-11:00 p.m. EDT), Dre’s colleague Stevens (Peter Mackenzie) makes an ill-advised decision to run for Congress, so Dre enlists his family’s help and campaigns against him but gets caught up with fundraising and private interest groups. ‘Election Special Pt. 2’ is directed by Matthew A. Cherry and written by Graham Towers & Ben Deeb.”
