Grown-ish season 5 is expected to premiere on Freeform on Wednesday, July 20, 2022, at 10.00 PM ET/PT. On July 6, 2022, Freeform dropped a trailer for the fifth season, which offers a peek into Zoey's life post-graduation. Similar to the previous four seasons, this one seems full of hilarious and awkward moments with Zoey at the center of it all.
As the charming teenager enters a new chapter in her life, viewers can expect another intriguing season with a much more evolved Zoey dealing with the numerous challenges that life throws her way.
Along with the trailer, Freeform's official YouTube channel also shared a brief description of the series' fifth season, which reads:
''Zoey and the gang enjoy life post-graduation while Junior and a new crew steps in to Cal U.. grown-ish season 5 returns on Wednesday, July 20. Stream on Hulu July 21.''
Season 4 ended on a rather sad note, with many members of the batch graduating and some of the original cast members leaving the show. The highlight of the finale was Zoey finally deciding to pursue her fashion dreams. The fifth season might be slightly different in terms of some storylines, but based on the trailer, the overall tone of the show remains the same.
