Earlier this year the cast from the hit college sitcom, "A Different World," reunited for a ten city HBCU tour [click here if you missed that].
Now the series is set to return featuring the daughter of Jasmine Guy and Kadeem Hardison's characters, Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert...
From Deadline
An A Different World sequel series chronicling Dwayne and Whitley’s daughter’s time at Hillman College, is in early development at Netflix, sources tell Deadline. The project comes from writer/executive producer Felicia Pride (Bel-Air, Grey’s Anatomy) and executive producers Debbie Allen, Mandy Summers, Tom Werner, Gina Prince-Bythewood and Reggie Bythewood.
Netflix declined to comment for this story.
Allen, Werner, Prince-Bythewood and Bythewood all worked on the original hit NBC series, a spinoff of The Cosby Show, which ran for six seasons. Allen was director-producer, Prince-Bythewood and Bythewood were writers, and Werner executive produced for The Carsey-Werner Company.

I am so HERE FOR THIS!!!!!!
Me too!!!!
The daughter would be in her 30s now with her own family.
No thanx!
Who asked for this?
I love it!! I still watch A Different World on the weekends. The way they did the Fresh Prince spinoff is masterful and I'm sure they'll do the same with this new show. Thank God they have Debbie Allen and Gina Prince-Bythewood as executive producers. Hopefully, they'll bring back some of the former cast members.
At least Tyler Perry isn’t part of it. There is that.
I’m here for it too! If Debbie’s in it too? Yesssss!
Ok, Debbie. Make us proud, girl! I don’t mind this at all. I’m sure there will be guest appearances from other cast mates of A Different World. I just hope the acting will be precise and not like their reading the script.
I’m really over these other sitcoms with veteran actors mixing in with the newbies stiff AF!!
15 years too late.
Nope! Writers come up with something new. Stop the madness. We don't need a reboot of anything.
I want be watching but if it helps the youth of today seek higher education, I'm for it. The original motivated Black kids to attend college. Especially HBCU.
Is this sitcom going to be presented as a reverse time hop? Because their daughter should be at least 30 years old at this point. If this is going to work it has to be authentic by honoring continuity with the original.
Why can’t Hollywood come up with new material?
