“Grown-ish” star Yara Shahidi has some sad-ish news for fans of the popular young-adult series.

In a video message released Wednesday by Freeform, the actor and producer announced that the upcoming sixth season of “Grown-ish” will be its last. She also revealed that the final season will be released in two parts: The first half will debut this summer, and the second will follow in 2024.

“Don’t be sad, because we’re gonna do it up big,” Shahidi says in the clip.

“You guys have been with us since Season 1, and it has been such an honor to play Zoey and grow up alongside her for the past nine years. Your support over the last five seasons has really meant the world to us — the cast and crew — and we want to take the time to thank you all for the love and support that has kept us going.”

Of course, Shahidi is set to reprise her role as Zoey Johnson, and Marcus Scribner will return as her younger brother, Andre “Junior” Johnson, for the sixth season. Rounding out the series’ main cast are Trevor Jackson, Diggy Simmons and Daniella Perkins.

In January 2018, the first season of “Grown-ish” launched as a spinoff of the hit ABC sitcom “Black-ish,” centering on the eldest child of the Johnson family. The series has since followed Zoey from college freshman to recent grad on her journey as a rising fashion designer.
