Girlfriends 15 Years Later: Where Are They Now?
BLACK-ISH - “Feminisn’t” - PERSIA WHITE, GOLDEN BROOKS, REGINALD C. HAYES, TRACEE ELLIS ROSS, JILL MARIE JONES
On the list of shows that ended too soon, Girlfriends is No. 1. Fans still love it, and have been begging for a reunion or revival since it was unceremoniously canceled. Recently, executive producer Kelsey Grammer expressed his support for the show’s possible return, saying, “I don’t know if Paramount+ is gonna grab another season of that but you never know. I think they should because I know many people who love that show and love those characters and would like to see them continue.” As we dream of the day when the groundbreaking series returns, let’s take a look at what the cast is up to now.
Tracee Ellis Ross
After leaving Joan behind, Tracee Ellis Ross followed up Girlfriends with eight seasons on Black-ish, films like The High Note and most recently, an honorary doctorate from Spelman College.
