Fans of the classic sitcom A Different World are getting a sequel series on Netflix! The show will center around Deborah, the daughter of Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert, as she navigates life at Hillman College and tries to establish her own identity. After originally airing on NBC from 1987 to 1993, the series is getting a fresh start on the streaming platform. Felicia Pride, a writer from Grey’s Anatomy, will lead the creative team. She expressed her excitement about reviving the show, saying it had a significant impact on her life and she’s proud to bring it to both longtime fans and a new audience. The cast includes Alijah Kai, Chibuikem Uche, Cornell Young IV, Jordan Aaron Hall, and Kennedi Reece, among others.
Hillman isn’t just welcoming new actors; some of the original creative team are returning as well. Debbie Allen, who directed a large portion of the original series, will direct the first three episodes of the Netflix reboot and also serve as an executive producer. Writers Reggie and Gina Prince-Bythewood, who met on the original show, are joining as executive producers alongside Mandy Summers and Tom Werner. While it’s unclear if any of the original cast members will appear, fans are hoping for some enjoyable, throwback cameos, as is typical with reboots.
