The sequel to A Different World, which premiered in September on Netflix, has officially been renewed for a second season. Jasmine Guy (who starred in the original) and Debbie Allen (who appeared in a few episodes of the original, but was a director and producer as well) both appear in the new show as their original characters.
Check out the trailer for season one.
Below are some screenshots from the trailer featuring Debbie Allen and Jasmine Guy.

On January 7th, 2024, Jasmine Guy won a Creative Arts Emmy in the category Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series for her work on Chronicles of Jessica Wu. It's Jasmine's first Emmy win. Congratulations Jasmine!
If interested in watching the ceremony, you can do so at the following links. The awards show was split up into two days, so there are two videos. Again, Jasmine's win took place on the 7th.
Dermot Mulroney's appearance on The View this past Friday was cut short when he walked off set. Apparently it was in support of the Writer's Guild of America strike. Further details can be found on People.com.

Entertainment Weekly posted an interview with Olivia Barash, who played Maxie on the final season of Fame, regarding the two part episode she appeared in on Little House on the Prairie. I'd say those episodes were probably the darkest storyline that the show ever did.
