Great news for fans of classic sitcoms, A Different World is now available on Netflix! The beloved show, which originally aired from 1987 to 1993, started streaming on February 7, allowing both longtime fans and new viewers to enjoy all six seasons​

A spin-off of The Cosby Show, A Different World followed Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) as she navigated life at Hillman College, a fictional HBCU (Historically Black College or University). After Bonet’s departure, the show shifted focus to an ensemble cast, tackling important social issues like race, class, and relationships while maintaining humour and heart​



Adding to the excitement, Netflix is reportedly developing A Different World reboot! The new series will focus on the daughter of Whitley Gilbert and Dwayne Wayne, two of the original show’s most beloved characters. Debbie Allen, a key force behind the original series, is set to return as a producer, alongside other industry veterans​

The show's return to streaming has reignited conversations about its cultural impact. It inspired many students to attend HBCUs and remains a significant part of Black television history.a



So, whether you're revisiting Hillman College or experiencing it for the first time, now is the perfect time to stream A Different World on Netflix!
