The creator/showrunner of ABC’s comedy franchise “Black-ish” has seen a whirlwind of activity via his Khalabo Ink Society prodco. He made headlines in October 2020 for leaving Netflix after two years with the streamer after edgy comedy “#blackAF” did not meet the same reception as “Black-ish” or its spinoffs “Grown-ish” at Freeform and ABC’s “Mixed-ish.” In September 2021, he unveiled a deal with ViacomCBS to launch the BET Studios content production venture in partnership with “Parks and Recreation” star Rashida Jones and writer-producer Aaron Rahsaan Thomas. Barris is also launching a music label through Interscope Records, and Khalabo Ink in June set a podcast production pact with Amazon’s Audible. Barris is also attached to write and direct a Richard Pryor biopic for MGM, in addition to his directorial debut, co-written by and starring Jonah Hill alongside Eddie Murphy, which is currently filming.
