. The cast and producers of the show unpacked the details of the spinoff that explores the origin story of Rainbow Johnson.As Ross points out, Bow’s story hasn’t been explored. More than that, biracial narratives have seldom been explored on television. “This is an opportunity to unpack that in a much larger way,” said Ross.recounts Bow’s experience growing up in a mixed-race family and the dilemmas they face to acclimate in the suburbs while staying true to themselves.
The stage is appropriately populated by people of color and those who come from a mixed race background — this includes Ross, Saji and Gosselaar . Although the show takes place in the ’80s, the producers express how it’s a story that is appropriate for the times we live in. “What we are aiming to do is to have a conversation about race in the ’80s that was safer in that world to discuss that are relevant to what we are going through now as a nation,” said Gist.
Saji adds, “We are trying to make the present relevant to the past.” He continues to say that race is a complicated issue. “The journey of this family is going to be dealing with everything from both sides of the situation.” Gist remarks that they want to make this true to Bow’s experience. “We want this show to be about identity…what we hope to do is shine a light on those who feel othered. Hopefully, that’s all the audience.”
