Watch out world, they’re really grown now!

Now that the countdown to graduation is officially on for the gang, this new season of grown-ish follows the crew as they embark on senior year at Cal U. With the reality that the “real world,” is right around the corner, the characters find themselves working through everything from breakups, to mental health, and more, proving that there’s a lot of beauty to come out of life’s growing pains. 

Despite the changes, one thing remains constant and that’s the notion that life is a tad bit easier, when you have friends who grow with you along the way. 

Ahead of the premiere of season 4B, the grown-ish cast, including Yara Shahidi, Chloe Bailey, Emily Arlook, Francia Raisa, Trevor Jackson, Jordan Buhat and Diggy Simons, chat with Shadow and Act about friendship, mental health, and some of the misconceptions that follow what it means to actually be grown!

“I think this season, we all have a ton of really determined characters and I feel like in many ways, as much as you’ve seen them grow up, a lot of them have continued down the path that they said they were going to pursue when we first met them freshman year in terms of having these future careers,” said Yara Shahidi who portrays Zoey, the fashion expert who has embarked down an interesting path as she manages to create her own lane within the industry while also juggling school (and boys).
