Get ready for sophomore year!<\/p>\n

Grown-ish<\/em> returns tonight for Zoey’s second year of college, and not too<\/em> much has changed since freshman year. At the end of the first season, Zoey (Yara Shahidi<\/a><\/strong>) chose Luca (Luka Sabbat) over Cash (Da’Vinchi<\/strong>) and Aaron (Trevor Jackson<\/strong>), who were all vying for her heart, but as Shahidi reminded E!’s Zuri Hall<\/a><\/strong> when she visited the set of the Freeform show,\u00a0real life is very different from the chase.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Similar to the first season, [Zoey] goes in with the idea of what school should be, and having gone through the ringer last season, she feels like she should come into sophomore year with a little more in control, and that doesn’t always happen for her,” Shahidi teases. “But what’s fun is that, I think going in having already made her decision about Luca, means that you now get to experience the life stuff of what it’s like to actually be in a relationship with somebody. So it’s no longer the fun of the chase that we experienced last season, but it’s just what it means when you actually start talking to somebody.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Zoey made her choice right before the end of the school year, so it’s been a whole summer since then. Shahidi says we’ll see\u00a0the show go some directions she thinks will really surprise the audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“She makes a lot of major life decisions,” she teases, explaining that Zoey will finally step out of her pattern of freaking out when things get out of her control.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sabbat says his role this season is “way more serious,” but the show is a lot funnier. To hear from him, hit play on the video below.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
