A Beloved Campus Comedy Finds Its Way Home to Netflix

Nearly four decades after NBC brought the curtain down on "A Different World," the show is returning to the screen it never had. Susan Fales-Hill and Debbie Allen, both instrumental to the original series, are joining a new generation of Black creators to shepherd the revival for Netflix. The reunion pairs the show's original stewards with fresh voices tasked with carrying its legacy forward. It is, by any measure, a rare second act for a series that helped define a generation's idea of college life on television.
