It's a new world, a different world, but still set in the same world. Get it? A Different World is getting a sequel series from Netflix, focused on Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison) and Whitley Gilbert (Jasmine Guy)'s daughter, Deborah (Maleah Joi Moon). She'll be attending Hillman College and trying to break out of her parents' shadow there. It really will be a different world as the show is making the big move from NBC, where it originally ran from 1987 to 1993, to Netflix.
