A Different World Season 1 launched on Sept. 24 with honors, making the Netflix English TV Top 10 list. “It’s because of our incredible fans that we’ve received such a swift Season 2 pickup! You all have watched, rewatched, posted about, created content around, and hosted events for our show. Your support, passion, and love mean the absolute world,” Pride says. “From the passionate pleas for their favorite ’ships to feeling seen by a particular character to uncovering well-laid Easter eggs, the conversations fans have been having are so rich and joyful. And I love that audiences are watching it together — parents with children, college friends, and extended family — all enjoying it in community.”
