ABC marked the end of an era as groundbreaking comedy black-ish came to its final moments on Tuesday.
After eight seasons the comedy from Kenya Barris concluded with the Johnson family packing up to move to a Black neighborhood. Deadline spoke with series bosses Kenya. Barris and Courtney Lily to discuss the series ender and what’s next for the franchise. Read the recap and Q&A here.
Despite its bittersweet series finale, black-ish struggled to make a big splash with the ratings. Per fast affiliates, the comedy’s final episode brought in a 0.3 rating in the 18-49 demo and 2.40 million followers. The series was down slightly from the previous week in the demo but ticked up in audience. The comedy was also down from its season premiere in January (0.5, 2.62M) but matched the Season 7 ender (0.3, 1.66M) in the demo. Just for comparison, black-ish debuted with a 3.3 demo rating to 10.8 million viewers back in September 2014.
Once again, the big winners of Tuesday primetime were This Is Us (0.8, 4.89M) and FBI (0.5, 7.21M), for demo and audience, respectively. The NBC drama ticked up in the demo with a look into a future wedding and some heartbreaking moments. FBI, on the other hand, dipped one tenth but rose in viewers. Those titles were their respective networks’ best shows of the evening.
A slightly down Judge Steve Harvey (0.4, 3.33M), which led into black-ish, was ABC’s top Tuesday. Fox’s was The Resident (0.4, 2.91M), which will soon welcome Andrew McCarthy to the cast. The CW was in repeats.
All networks’ Wednesday titles will return for new episodes, save for The CW, which will air Freddie Mercury: The Final Act.

Jennifer Maas TV Business WriterSPOLER ALERT: Do not read if you have not watched “Miguel,” the May 3 episode of “This Is Us.”“Miguel over the years,” was the simple description given for Tuesday’s “This Is Us,” the fourth-to-last episode of Dan Fogelman’s NBC family drama. While accurate, that logline doesn’t do the hour, aptly titled “Miguel,” justice, as it’s really the day-in-the-limelight installment fans of Jon Huertas’ Miguel Rivas have been waiting six seasons for — and also the one in which the character dies.The episode shows viewers Miguel’s origins in Puerto Rico, how he came to Pennsylvania as a boy with his parents and aunt, how he first didn’t get along with his best friend Jack’s (Milo Ventimiglia) wife Rebecca (Mandy Moore), and how years after Jack’s death, Rebecca and Miguel found their way back to each other, this time as romantic partners.

The Guardian on Friday that he is less than pleased with how the April 10 series finale played out, saying the final episode took him “aback” and lamenting that it was “bowing to convention.”SPOILERS for the series finale:Everything appears to be ending on a high note as Villanelle (Jodie Comer) and Eve (Sandra Oh) finally share a real kiss — until the final moments when Villanelle is gunned down and killed, with Eve left screaming. Jennings notes that he was advised of the decision to kill off the colorful assassin ahead of time, and knew fans would be upset, particularly since TV shows kill off their LGBTQ characters so frequently that it’s become a well-known trope.“A truly subversive storyline would have defied the trope which sees same-sex lovers in TV dramas permitted only the most fleeting of relationships before one of them is killed off (Lexa’s death in ‘The 100,’ immediately after sleeping with her female love interest for the first time, is another example).
Killing Eve author Luke Jennings has criticised the finale of the TV series for “bowing to convention”.After four seasons, the series concluded earlier this month in a finale that saw Eve (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer) infiltrate a meeting of The Twelve on the Dixie Queen boat. However, the latter is fatally shot before they jump into the Thames together.Jennings, who wrote 2017’s Codename Villanelle on which the series is based, has since called out the show’s ending for adhering to the trope of killing off same-sex lovers.“When Phoebe Waller-Bridge and I first discussed Villanelle’s character five years ago, we agreed that she was defined by what Phoebe called her ‘glory’: her subversiveness, her savage power, her insistence on lovely things,” Jennings wrote in the Guardian.
