The former Hamilton star will play Rainbow's (Tracee Ellis Ross) brother, Johan, in the third season of the Emmy nominated show.
Tracee posted this on Instagram last night with the caption "Sooo excited for @DaveedDiggs to star as Bow's bro on @blackishABC Season 3! #blackish #Hamilton #WeMightReallyBeRelatedTho" (She makes a solid point with that last hashtag).

Black-ish creator/showrunner Kenya Barris told Variety that Daveed will have a "substantial" reoccurring story arc and will appear pretty early in Season 3.
Kenya also describes his character Johan as "Sort of a hipster, entitled kid who gets on Dre’s nerves. He’s constantly on a search for the best conditioner for his hair. He’s probably gone to Penn or Wharton and could have gotten a great-paying job, but he’s trying to find himself."

It's also worth noting, all the Johnson kids love him, except for fan-favorite Diane (Marsai Martin).
"She’s not buying that sh*t,” Barris said. (Gotta love her.)
