DESCRIPTION:
(from Netflix's press release, November 2025) Get ready to step into A Different World: the iconic ’90s sitcom is returning with a new sequel series centering on Deborah Wayne, the youngest daughter of Hillman College’s finest, Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert. Tony winner Maleah Joi Moon (Hell’s Kitchen) will star as Deborah, the free-spirited, well-intentioned yet rebellious youngest child of Kadeem Hardison and Jasmine Guy’s characters. The series follows Deborah as she enters her freshman year at their HBCU alma mater and finds the shadow of her parents difficult to escape. She sets out to build her own legacy — while having the time of her life — alongside a whole new generation of Hillman’s best and brightest. Joining Moon are Alijah Kai (Everybody Hates Chris) as Rashida, Chibuikem Uche (One Of Us Is Lying) as Kojo, Cornell Young IV (Doing Life) as Shaquille, Jordan Aaron Hall (The Idea of You) as Amir, and newcomer Kennedi Reece as Hazel. |
