Jenifer Rice-Genzuk Henry, executive producer on Freeform’s breakout comedy series Grown-ish, has signed an overall deal with ABC Studios whose cable/streaming division, ABC Signature, produces the Black-ish spinoff.
Under the pact, she will be developing new series projects while continuing her duties on Grown-ish. For one of her first pieces of development, Henry is teaming with her mother, veteran TV writer-producer Al Sonja L. Rice, to explore Henry’s biracial (Black and Jewish) background and the unique mother-daughter relationship that included Rice teaching Henry to write for TV.
Henry joined ABC’s Black-ish at the beginning of the second season as supervision producer, rising to co-executive producer in Season 3. During her second season on Black-ish, Henry also worked as consulting producer on the first season of Grown-ish. She subsequently left Black-ish to become exec producer on Grown-ish.
