Class is back in session this fall as we return to Hillman!
The ‘A Different World’ reboot trailer is here!!!
Original series director Debbie Allen, who produced 122 episodes and directed 83 during the show’s original run, returns as executive producer and will direct three episodes, including the premiere.
Nostalgia is back and the new era is here as well!
The series also sees the return of original writers Reggie Rock Bythewood (Swagger, Get On The Bus) and Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Woman King, Love & Basketball) as executive producers, alongside Mandy Summers (That ‘90s Show, The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh) and Tom Werner (The Conners, Roseanne, A Different World).
“It is such an honor to be a part of bringing back this iconic show, one that I grew up on and which had a profound impact on my life,” says Felicia Pride (Grey’s Anatomy, Bel-Air), who serves as showrunner and executive producer. “I am so proud of the work we’re doing to reimagine A Different World for beloved fans and new generations alike.”
“A Different World changed everything for us,” said the Bythewoods, who have been married since 1998. “It was where we got our start as writers and where we found each other. This show has always been a part of our love story. To return to Hillman now and help reimagine this world for a new generation feels like a continuation of that legacy – one rooted in love, purpose, and possibility.”
