LOS ANGELES (AP) — The creator of the ABC comedy "black-ish" is leaving the network.

The writer-producer created "black-ish," which stars Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross and has earned multiple Emmy Awards nominations and praise for its politically-relevant stories. The show returned a black family sitcom to network television.

The show has a spinoff, "grown-ish" that airs on Freeform, which stars Yara Shahidi and was also co-created by Barris.

ABC and Barris' representatives did not return messages seeking comment.

Barris has not announced a deal to produce shows for another platform yet.
