The beloved sitcom is now getting a makeover from some of our favorite actors, including Tracee Ellis Ross!

Tracee posted this cute video on Instagram: We're looking at a pic of the OG cast, then bam! The heads of the new all-Black cast are photoshopped right onto the older women's bodies.

Fans of the show might remember a problematic episode where characters wore facial masks that resembled blackface during a scene discussing race. Hulu removed the episode at the request of the distributor, Disney-ABC Domestic Television.

Based on Tracee's post, it looks like she'll be playing Rose —my personal favorite!

According to the registration page, the first episode will be "spotlighting and supporting Color of Change – the nation's largest online racial justice organization," and I'm here for it!
