The Proud Family is coming to Disney+ in an entirely new series called The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder. And now we know the series will February 23. And there is a lot to look forward to because most of the original voice cast will also be returning for the revival!
Take a look at what’s to come below.
The original Proud Family series was nothing less than groundbreaking. It was the first animated Disney Channel Original Series and the first to star a Black character, Penny Proud, and her family. The series ran from 2001-2005 and gained a massive cult following amongst animation heads around the world.
The show was led by Kyla Pratt as the tenacious and intelligent Penny. Pratt will be reprising her role alongside other OG cast members Tommy Davidson as Oscar Proud; Paula Jai Parker as Trudy Proud; Jo Marie Payton as Suga Mama; Karen Malina White as Dijonay Jones; Soleil Moon Frye as Zoey Howze; and Alisa Reyes as LaCienega Boulevardez. Cedric the Entertainer will also return as Uncle Bobby Proud.
New stories also mean new characters will be joining our favorite family on screen. And that means some excellent new additions to the show’s cast. Disney+ has shared that “the guest-starring voice cast will feature some of music and entertainment’s biggest names.” These will include:
Lizzo; Lil Nas X; Chance the Rapper; Normani; Leslie Odom Jr. (“Hamilton”); Tiffany Haddish (“Like a Boss”); Lena Waithe (“Master of None”); Anthony Anderson (“Black-ish”); Gabrielle Union (“L.A.’s Finest”); Debbie Allen (“Grey’s Anatomy”); James Pickens Jr. (Grey’s Anatomy”); Courtney B.
