Although we haven’t heard of Disney + ‘ the Proud family restart in a while, the company has finally launched a video featurette with the official title of the series.
The new TV show ‘The strongest and proudest proud family ‘ is scheduled to launch on the streaming service in 2022.
The TV show will feature many of the stars from the original series, including Kyla Pratt reprising her role as Penny Proud, Tommy Davidson as Oscar Proud, Paula Jai Parker as Trudy Proud, JoMare Payton as Sugar Momma and Karen Malina White and Dijonah Jones and more. .
Additionally, guest stars for the new series will include Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Chance the Rapper, Leslie Odom Jr., Tina Knowles, Jaden Smith, Tiffany Haddish, Lena Waithe, and more.
Recurring stars include Asante Blackk as Penny Proud’s new boyfriend, Keke Palmer, Billy Porter, Zachary Quinto, and EJ Johnson.
The proud family originally aired on the Disney Channel (or for many of us in Canada on the Family Channel) between 2001 and 2005. The series showed us the animated life of an African-American family, starring the teenager Penny Proud.
As a black child / adolescent, while the show was in progress, I really valued seeing blacks portrayed in an animated sitcom like the Proud family. While it didn’t offer much in terms of LGBTQ characters, it looks like the revival will thankfully do.
