A Proud Family Wizmas Is Coming to Disney+, and the Guest Cast Is Ridiculous

Some projects just make sense the second you hear about them. A Proud Family Wizmas is one of those creations that feels like an absolute no-brainer.

When you hand microphones to some of the funniest working comedians and musicians alive, let them loose in the booth, and tell them to make holiday magic, good things happen. I saw the first-look images for A Proud Family Wizmas, and my immediate reaction was simple: this is going to be special.

Not Suitable For Work Cancelled At Hulu But There Is Hope Of A Return

Not Suitable for Work has been canceled, as Hulu opted not to greenlight a second season. It’s disappointing news—this was quickly becoming one of my favorite shows. Created by Mindy Kaling, the series follows five twenty-somethings in New York City navigating their careers and relationships. Is the premise groundbreaking? No, but it had so much potential, and it deserved the room to let its characters and subplots fully develop.

A Different World Reboot Trailer: Premiere Date, Cast, and First Impressions

The first official trailer for the A Different World reboot is finally here. The brand-new sequel series premieres on Netflix on September 24.

Right away, the visual tone sets expectations. This is not a standard multi-cam sitcom from the late eighties. The cinematography takes clear cues from Peacock’s Bel-Air, leaning into a gritty, cinematic, single-camera look that grounds Hillman College in modern reality.

Here is everything revealed in the new trailer, from the fresh faces on campus to the returning legends.

What the A Different World Trailer Reveals About the New Cast

The trailer gives us our first real introduction to the new generation holding down on campus.

Tony Award-winner Maleah Joi Moon stars as Deborah Wayne, the youngest daughter of Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert. (Check out our full breakdown on Who Is Maleah Joi Moon to get familiar with her background before premiere night.)

Every classic college drama needs a central romance, and we get our first look at her primary love interest: Shaquille Johnson, played by Cornell Young IV. Shaq is a five-star high school football recruit who stunned the sports world by choosing Hillman, his father’s alma mater.

His father is none other than Ron Johnson, who also serves as his business manager. Early footage shows Shaq caught in the classic struggle between managing his massive ego, surviving his dad’s sky-high expectations, and trying to win Deborah’s heart.

Dwayne and Whitley: Campus Legacy vs. Empty Nest Syndrome

Kadeem Hardison and Jasmine Guy return to the roles that defined a generation of Black television romance. Their lives look very different these days.

Dwayne is fully invested in rebuilding Hillman College and restoring the institution to its former glory days.

Whitley, on the other hand, recently sold her beauty empire, “Glitter by Gilbert,” for a mountain of cash. With infinite free time and cash to burn, she has channeled all that executive energy into micromanaging her three adult children. That means she is going to be hovering over campus all semester long.

That Jada Pinkett Cameo Has Questions Flying

The biggest jaw dropper comes from a photo of Jada Pinkett Smith who plays Lena James walking arm and arm with Dwayne.

Details on her character’s exact storyline remain tightly under wraps. But if you watched the show you remember her character had a crush on Dwayne. Still, anyone who spends five minutes on social media knows what will happen if her character causes even a slight tremor in Dwayne and Whitley’s marriage. If she steps between those two, expect the internet to unleash thousands of think pieces labeling her a certified supervillain.

Final Thoughts on A Different World Returning to Netflix

Between the cinematic camera work, the legacy cast, and a compelling new crew of freshmen, this revival looks promising. A Different World managed to shape culture decades ago, and seeing that legacy rebuilt on the Hillman campus for a new era is worth marking on your calendar for September 24.
