Netflix has confirmed that it is making a sequel to the popular TV show A Different World. The original show, which aired from 1987 to 1993, was about life at Hillman College, a fictional historically Black college.
The new series will follow Deborah, the younger daughter of Whitley and Dwayne, two main characters from the original show. Deborah will attend Hillman College, starting her own story while keeping the legacy of the original series alive.
The show will be filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, at Cinespace Studios. Some of the original producers are returning, which means the new show will keep the same spirit as the old one.
A Different World was a spinoff of The Cosby Show. It became famous for showing life at an HBCU and addressing real issues faced by students. The original show is still loved by many fans today.
Netflix has not shared all the details yet, like the full cast, how many episodes there will be, or when the show will start. But fans are already excited about the news. The sequel shows that Netflix wants to bring back a beloved story for both old fans and new viewers.
More updates about the show will come as production continues. Fans are hopeful that the new series will honor the original while telling a fresh story for a new generation.
