The highly anticipated ‘A Different World’ sequel series is bringing some familiar faces back to campus. Kadeem Hardison, Jasmine Guy, Cree Summer, and Darryl M. Bell are all set to reprise their iconic roles in the show’s first season.

Executive producers Felicia Pride and Debbie Allen shared their excitement about welcoming original cast members back for a new generation. They said:

‘A Different World is back! We are thrilled to bring this much-anticipated sequel with our returning legacy stars. Fans will have the chance to reconnect with these beloved characters and see how their lives have evolved, while new storylines explore issues that are relevant today. There are more cast surprises in store, and we can’t wait for both longtime fans and new audiences to experience this next chapter.’

The series will follow Deborah Wayne (Maleah Joi Moon), the youngest daughter of Dwayne Wayne (Hardison) and Whitney Gilbert (Guy). The story centers on her journey as a freshman at her parents’ alma mater, Hillman College, as she works to step out of their shadow and carve out her own identity while navigating college life.

The new generation of students includes Alijah Kai as Rashida, Chibuikem Uche as Kojo, Cornell Young IV as Shaquille, Jordan Aaron Hall as Amir, and Kennedi Reece as Hazel, with Freddie Brooks (Summer) and Ron “Ronaldus” Johnson (Bell) joining the mix on Hillman’s campus.

The update follows news that Netflix granted the series a pilot order in March, before issuing a full series order last month.
