Dawnn Lewis starred on ‘The Cosby Show’ spinoff ‘A Different World’ from 1987 to 1992
The world has changed a lot since the late ‘80s, but actress Dawnn Lewis and her former A Different World castmates are prepared to keep up with the times — and the show’s new sequel series.
“We’ll see,” she said of whether the team had decided to keep the track as is or start from scratch. “We're having those conversations now, so we'll see how it turns out.” Beginning in season 2, the focus was on other students at the HBCU with the love story between Whitley Gilbert and Dwayne Wayne at the forefront. When the series ended in 1993, Whitley and Dwayne were married and expecting their first baby.
The sequel will center on Dwayne and Whitley’s daughter, who is now attending Hillman College. While the cast has not been confirmed, Lewis told Us on Friday that she thinks the new show is “exciting.” She noted that college students today are experiencing a “different world from where they were to where they're on their way to.” Lewis told Us that with any “luck” the young students will “continue to carve out a different world, a better world, a brighter future, a more inclusive future.”
In addition to taking part in the upcoming sequel, Lewis is happy to be celebrating The Simpsons holiday special after voicing various characters since season 28. The actress is best known for portraying Bernice Hibbert on the animated series.
