"Mixed-ish" is directly linked to fellow ABC sitcom "Black-ish" — it is, in fact, a prequel.

Not only that, but both share a sort of "Ish"-iverse with a third series, "Grown-ish," which aired on ABC's cable sibling, Freeform.

All three were created by Kenya Barris ("Cheaper by the Dozen," 2022) and based loosely on his own life and that of his wife, Rainbow Edwards-Barris.

"Black-ish" premiered in 2014 and centered on husband and wife Andre Johnson (Anthony Anderson, "Law & Order") and Rainbow Johnson (Tracee Ellis Ross, "Girlfriends"), Black parents trying to maintain their cultural identity while raising kids in a predominantly white neighborhood.

"Grown-ish," the sequel spinoff released in 2018, follows the Johnsons' daughter Zoey as she heads off to college. (The youth focus made it a natural fit for Freeform instead of ABC.)

A year after "Grown-ish" hit Freeform, "Mixed-ish" debuted back on ABC. That one was a prequel that depicted the unusual childhood of "Black-ish" matriarch Rainbow Johnson after her parents left their hippie commune for the suburbs in the '80s.

Alas, "Grown-ish" is the last "Ish" standing. "Mixed-ish" only lasted two seasons, while the flagship, "Black-ish," ended in April after eight seasons on the air.

"Grown-ish" returns for a fifth season in July.

ABC actually toyed with two more spinoffs — "Old-ish" and "Brown-ish" — but neither has gotten off the ground (so far, at least).
