ABC is in early talks for the potential spin-off of another one of its top family comedies "Black-ish".

Actress Yara Shahidi would topline the potential backdoor pilot from series creator Kenya Barris and former showrunner Larry Wilmore, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The comedy could be planted as a backdoor pilot this spring. Wilmore, who had served as showrunner for "Black-ish" first 13 episodes before moving to Comedy Central's "Nightly Show", recently returned to ABC Studios with an overall deal.

The college-themed "Black-ish" project also marks the third comedy spinoff in the works this season and second at ABC.
