The network has ordered a 13-episode first season of the series, which is set to premiere in early 2018, reported Ace Showbiz.
"I never thought they'd let me put 'Black-ish' on the air let alone give me a spin-off," Kenya Barris, "Black-ish" creator, said in a statement.
Barris continued, "I couldn't be more excited for the opportunity to continue working with Yara and the rest of this talented young cast. To any aspiring writers struggling to make it out there, I highly advise adding an '-ish' to any working title you might have. It seems to be the move."
The spin-off is described as "a contemporary take on the current issues facing both students and administrators in the world of higher education."
Deon Cole is set to star on the spin-off, reprising his "Black-ish" role as Charlie. Meanwhile, the rest of the main characters will be new characters and actors, who didn't appear in the pilot episode, both in the college administration and the student body.
