After reporting it was in work last year, Variety reports it Another World Sequel Series A pilot order has been officially given on Netflix. This is a rare move for streamers.
What do we know about the sequel series in another world?
According to a report from Variety, the streaming platform plans to film the project’s pilot this summer, test the tone of the show, and check the chemistry of the potential cast. This move is rare on Netflix, and this is one of the only pilot orders given to the comedy series.
The report also states that despite pilot orders, Netflix has no plans to engage in the “pilot season” that most cable networks do.
No official cast members or information about the project has been released yet. However, details about the sequel series began to surface last year, with reports that the series reportedly chasing the daughters of two characters from the original series, Whitley Gilbert (Jasmine Guy) and Dwayne Wayne (Kadame Hardison).
Their daughter will also attend Hillman University, the school that is the main focus of the original show.
Another World originally premiered in 1987 and was conceived as a spinoff to the highly popular series The Cosby Show. The series originally starred Lisa Bonnett’s altered role as Dennis Huxtable, and continued her life as a student at Hillman.
However, Bonnet left the series after the first season, and the show focused more primarily on the relationship between Whitley Gilbert and Dwayne Wayne. Alongside Guy and Hardison, other stars of the series included Marisa Tomei, Dwan Lewis, Mary Alice, Loretta Devine, Daryl M. Bell and Sinbad.
