A Different World Cast to Reunite for 10-City HBCU Tour, Over 35 Years Since the Show's Premiere (Exclusive)​

February 23, 2024

PEOPLE can exclusively reveal that the cast of the legendary NBC sitcom are reuniting this month to embark on a national 10-city tour of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in celebration of the show's 35-year legacy.

Darryl M. Bell (Ronald 'Ron' Johnson), Charnele Brown (Kimberly 'Kim' Reese), Jasmine Guy (Whitley Marion Gilbert Wayne), Kadeem Hardison (Dwayne Cleophus Wayne), Dawnn Lewis (Jaleesa Vinson Taylor), Cree Summer (Winifred 'Freddie' Brooks), Glynn Turman (Col. Bradford 'Brad' Taylor) and Sinbad (Walter Oakes) will all participate in the tour, which will feature panels and other events.

Producers Susan Fales and Debbie Allen will also be included.

The tour will kick off Feb. 29 in Atlanta, Georgia at the prestigious Atlanta University Center — home to Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College and Spelman College.

A full slate will be announced soon, but other cities include Washington, DC (hosted by Howard University) and Montgomery, Alabama (hosted by Alabama State University and Tuskegee University), both in April.



A Different World ran on NBC for six seasons, from Sept. 24, 1987 to July 9, 1993. The series, a spin-off from The Cosby Show, centered on Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) and the life of students at Hillman College, a fictional HBCU in Virginia.

Bonet left the show after the first season, as did Marisa Tomei and Loretta Devine. Future stars who appeared on the sitcom included Jada Pinkett Smith and Karen Malina White, among others.

The show was consistently ranked first or second among Black viewers during most of its run, and is often cited as the defining reason as to why many decided to attend a HBCU

That's part of the reason the cast from A Different World is getting together now. The tour will not just be a nostalgic trip down memory lane for the Different World family, but also a chance to raise money for scholarship funds

Considering it's goal is to fundraise it might be successful because older people will go and support but I’d bet most of the college kids outside of those aspiring to get into the film world won't give a fukk that they're on campus.

Yep. 25 years too late for something like this. Young ppl in 2024 ain't fanning out over A Different World cast.

I like seeing them get some shine but this wasn't well thought out.
