"black-ish" is celebrating a major milestone with a tribute to the High Priest of Pop. The show’s upcoming 100th episode will feature a special tribute to Prince and his impact on The Johnson family, EW can exclusively reveal.
The episode is also set to include a big musical component, which promises to showcase the characters in a way similar to the Hamilton-inspired season 4 premiere in 2017.
"black-ish" is working with the late singer’s estate so that iconic songs like 'Kiss', 'When Doves Cry', 'Let’s Go Crazy', and others can be included.
The episode will air in November.
One of the show’s stars, Yara Shahidi (Zoe), already shares a special connection to Prince. Her father Afshin was the pop star’s longtime photographer, and after watching her show, the notoriously reclusive Prince sent her an email congratulating her on her work, Time reported.
Yara told the outlet that her father’s relationship with the singer added to her family’s emphasis on “creative experiences, work relationships, and personal relationships.”
