    The former Hamilton star will play Rainbow's (Tracee Ellis Ross) brother, Johan, in the third season of the Emmy nominated show.

    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.)

    This is so exciting! Absolutely cannot wait to see Daveed take his talents (and glorious afro) from the stage to the screen!
