Chris Parnell, Trevor Jackson and Emily Arlook will join Shahidi and Deon Cole in the Grown-ish cast, Entertainment Weekly reports.

Creator Kenya Barris wrote in a statement, “Grown-ish reflects what we’ll be dealing with in the show—that in-between place where you’re not quite an adult but facing grown world problems for the first time.

“Where Black-ish examines what it means to be black, Grown-ish is an examination of what it is and what it means to be grown,” Barris added.

Grown-ish will premiere on the Freeform channel in 2018; Black-ish returns to ABC for its fourth season Oct. 3.
