Another win for diversity!
There’s another black family joining the Johnsons (black-ish) over at ABC.

Mike Epps will portray Uncle Buck, while Nia Long will portray Alexis. James Lesure, Iman Benson, Sayeed Shahidi and Aalyrah Caldwell will also star.
“Uncle Buck is a fun loving but irresponsible guy who needs a job and a place to stay. By happy coincidence, his nieces and nephew’s Nanny has just quit and his brother and sister-in-law need his help. His unconventional personality just may make him the right fit for the family and they may be the answer to his problems, too” (EW).
