The Johnsons are almost back as black-ish prepares to return for its seventh season on ABC, but ahead of the Wednesday, October 21 premiere, the family is coming to screens like never before in a partially animated special.

On Sunday, October 4, two back-to-back episodes will air as an election special, and ABC has revealed a peek at the action in a newly-released Season 7 promo. “Election Special Pt. 1” and “Election Special Pt. 2” will follow the Johnsons as they navigate the upcoming election. Viewers will see Junior’s (Marcus Scribner) journey as a first-time voter and Dre (Anthony Anderson) will delve into local politics.

While these specials aren’t necessarily part of Season 7, the conversation will continue once the show returns on a weekly basis later in the month. Season 7 of black-ish shines a light on current events through the lens of the Johnson family as they address the ongoing global pandemic, systemic racism, social justice, and equality.
