Netflix Developing 'A Different World' Sequel Series

The new series will focus on the daughter of original characters Whitley and Dwayne Wayne as she navigates college life at Hillman.

Felicia Pride will write and executive produce the series, with original creative team members returning as executive producers.
The original series, a spinoff of 'The Cosby Show,' aired from 1987 to 1993 and centered on life at a fictional HBCU.
The sequel has faced delays due to Bill Cosby's legal issues, which have now been resolved.
No casting announcements have been made yet, but discussions with original cast members have been positive.
'A Different World' significantly influenced HBCU enrollment and remains culturally relevant.
