Hello, dear TV fans!
Have you ever taken a fun jog down memory lane and thought about your favorite TV shows from back in the day? Well, ready your popcorn and clear your schedule, because one of the comedies that made the late 80s to early 90s so great may be returning. Yes, you guessed it! ‘A Different World’ might come back to your screens, not as reruns, but as an exciting sequel full of twists and turns. This exciting project is currently being developed by Netflix, and it’s going to be a roller coaster!
Get to Know the Characters
Let’s remind you of what ‘A Different World’ was all about. This show introduced us to the adventures of students at Hillman, a historic black university. Their journey of dreams, struggles, and growth was a compelling watch. The talented crew included Kadeem Hardison, Jasmine Guy, Darryl M. Bell, Charnele Brown, and Cree Summer, with Lisa Bonet taking the lead.
As the story progressed, we saw our beloved characters Dwayne and Whitney, portrayed by Hardison and Guy, get engaged and later have a cute little bundle of joy – a daughter. Time to fast forward, this sequel is likely to take us back to Hillman, but this time we follow their daughter. Grab your seat because it’s about to get exciting!
The Masterminds Behind the Curtain
This sequel is backed by some of the best in the business. At the helm as writer and executive producer is Felicia Pride, known for her work in hit series like ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Queen Sugar’. Joining her are talented folks like Debbie Allen, Mandy Summers, Tom Werner, Gina Prince-Bythewood, and Reggie Bythewood. This dream team promises a bashful reunion of creativity and faithfulness to the original story.
What Style to Expect?
Netflix is playing their cards close to their chest for now. But, we’ve gathered some information that suggests the sequel might follow the style of Netflix’s reboot of ‘That ’90s Show’. Additionally, it might incorporate a drama-filled spin similar to Peacock’s ‘Bel-Air’. Getting excited yet?
One Thorny Issue
Here’s the elephant in the room: will Bill Cosby, who was involved in ‘A Different World’ originally, have a role in the sequel? Given his current legal predicaments related to sexual assault charges, the answer is blurry at best. However, we can safely say that Netflix is likely to tread carefully around this situation.
Take a Breather
Let’s take a brief trip down memory lane. ‘A Different World’ was a unique piece of art mixing humor and drama and depicting hard-hitting campus-centric topics. It will be intriguing to see how the sequel revives these elements.
If you missed ‘A Different World’ the first time around, fingers crossed! This sequel might introduce you to one of television’s most engaging stories. Who knows, you might even fall for Dwayne and Whitney!
So, as we wait for more details to surface, think about the characters you’d love to see in the sequel. Maybe your ideas will color ‘A Different World’s’ new era.
