ABC’s black-ish is joining in on the animated fun this fall.

The comedy is airing two special back-to-back episodes on October 4 ahead of its Season 7 premiere (October 21), and the network has released photos offering a look at the cast animated for the second half hour. Check them out below.

The special follows the Johnsons as they navigate the upcoming election. First-time voter Junior (Marcus Scribner) hits a road block after he’s purged from the voter polls and looks for answers in the first part, “Election Special Pt. 1.” Then in the animated “Election Special Pt. 2,” Dre’s (Anthony Anderson) colleague Stevens (Peter Mackenzie) decides to run for Congress, and Dre turns to his family to help him campaign against him, only to be caught up with fundraising and private interest groups.

The animation is being produced by Jonas Diamond, executive producer and co-owner of Smiley Guy Studios and Rod Amador, executive producer and co-owner of Big Jump Entertainment.
