Are y’all here for an ‘A Different World‘ sequel?

Netflix is reportedly bringing back the iconic Hillman College in an exciting sequel series to “A Different World,” focusing on the adventures of Dwayne and Whitley’s daughter at their alma mater.

According to Deadline, the show, now in early development, has Felicia Pride at the helm as writer and executive producer. Debbie Allen, Mandy Summers, Tom Werner, Gina Prince-Bythewood, and Reggie Bythewood are also executive producers.

The original “A Different World,” a spinoff of “The Cosby Show,” ran for six successful seasons on NBC, highlighting life at a historically Black college. Though Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) was initially the main character, the show found its groove with Jasmine Guy’s Whitley Gilbert and Kadeem Hardison’s Dwayne Wayne leading the cast. Their love story, memorable for Dwayne’s iconic flip-up glasses and romantic moments, became a central plotline.

In the series finale, Whitley, who had resisted the idea of having children, learned she was expecting just as Dwayne accepted a job in Japan. This cliffhanger left fans eager for more, and now, the sequel promises to explore the life of their youngest daughter at Hillman.

While the new series is still in the early stages, and casting has not yet begun, sources indicate that discussions with original cast members have been positive. This has sparked hope for nostalgic cameos and reunions that would thrill long-time fans.

Earlier this year, the original cast of “A Different World” reunited on “Today” and “The View,” celebrating the show’s lasting impact. They even embarked on a 10-city tour to promote HBCU enrollment, demonstrating the series’ enduring legacy.

The sequel series is part of a trend at Netflix, following the success of “That ’90s Show,” which revisits the world of “That ’70s Show” with a focus on the next generation. Felicia Pride, who previously worked on “Bel-Air” and “Grey’s Anatomy,” is developing the sequel. She’s also known for her work on “Queen Sugar” and upcoming projects like “Livelihood” for Netflix and “Seven Days in June” for Amazon.

Netflix has yet to comment officially.
