The next generation of Hillman College students are arriving this fall in Netflix‘s A Different World, and Deadline has your first-look at the trailer above. New photos of Season 1 have also been released, and can be found below.

The single-camera comedy will release all 10 half-hour episodes on September 24.

Maleah Joi Moon is at the center of the new chapter, playing Deborah Wayne, the youngest daughter of Hillman royalty: Whitley Gilbert-Wayne (Jasmine Guy) and Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison). Deborah is a sheltered young woman, a free spirit with a flair for the spotlight and a big heart who’s still figuring out her own path at Hillman.

The new A Different World hails from Felicia Pride.

The trailer reveals Deborah will have a special relationship with Dr. Langhorne, played by Debbie Allen. Allen has been part of the continuation from the start as an executive producer and director of the premiere episode. The legendary multi-hyphenate, who directed 83 episodes of the original series, was not previously announced as having a role on the show.

In a funny scene between the two, Dr. Langhorne asks Deborah, “Baby, why are you here?” Deborah gives a short speech on hour her parents have inculcated in her the importance of Hillman, but Dr. Lanhorne knows better.

“You didn’t get in anywhere else, did you?” said Dr. Lanhorne, leaving Deborah to embarrasingly confirm it was true by putting her head down.

One thing about Deborah’s mom Whitley that we can’t forget from the original series: she is an impeccable dresser. Her appearance in the trailer shows her decked out in a classic Chanel suit. Deborah is forging her own stylish reputation wearing Balmain and a Chanel look of her own.

The new class also includes Rashida Duvall (Alijah Kai), a first‑gen criminal justice major; Shaquille Johnson (Cornell Young IV), a five‑star athlete choosing legacy; Amir Rodale (Jordan Aaron Hall), a sharp psych major better at fixing everyone else’s problems than facing his own; Hazel Henry (Kennedi Reece), a church‑raised small‑town girl defining her own values; and Kojo Achebe (Chibuikem Uche), a Ghanaian‑Nigerian fashion entrepreneur finding the courage to follow his vision.

And for us old school fans back for more, in addition to Guy and Hardison, the series will see the return of Darryl M. Bell as Ron Johnson, Cree Summer as Freddie Brooks, Charnele Brown as Dr. Kimberly Reese Boyer, Jenifer Lewis as Professor Davenport, Jada Pinkett Smith as Lena James, Dawnn Lewis as Jaleesa Vinson-Taylor, and Glynn Turman as Col. Bradford Taylor.

The trailer can be watched above and more new photos can be found below.

Comedian Ramy Youssef and screen legend Sharon Stone will star in Martha & Muhammad, an of-the-moment comedy being produced and financed by A24.

The standup comedian wrote the script and will make his directorial debut on the feature, which tackles several hot button flashpoints as it tells the story of a white widowed socialite in New York who develops a relationship with a young Muslim man. Class, religion, immigration and age are on the table on what promises to be a showcase for both Youssef and Stone.

Youssef is producing via his Cairo Cowboy banner alongside Eli Bush, Ronald Bronstein, and Josh Safdie of Central, Christopher Storer and Tyson Bidner for American Light & Fixture, and A24.

Production is looking to begin this fall.

The feature is being made at a critical moment in American culture as Middle Eastern representation and the American-Muslim experience gain new levels of prominence. Much of that is being fueled on the political level, with figures such as New York mayor Zohran Mamdani and Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed currently on the frontlines of many conversations on those topics.

Youssef has been tackling the Muslim-American experience for years within his stand-up comedy as well as his Hulu series, Ramy, which earned him a Golden Globe and a Peabody award, as well as a pair of Emmy Award nominations, for acting and directing.

Martha & Muhammad is the latest collaboration between Youssef and A24, which has proven a potent partnership. The team-up birthed Ramy as well as Youssef’s two critically acclaimed comedy specials, Feelings and More Feelings, both of which were nominated for Critics’ Choice and Writers Guild Awards. And the two were also behind Happy Family USA, Prime Video’s hit animated series which is returning for a second season.

Stone is the Hollywood legend who starred with Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct and earned an Oscar nomination for her performance in Martin Scorsese’s 1995 crime saga Casino. The actress has been enjoying a resurgence of late and appeared in HBO’s third season of Euphoria. On the feature side, she recently wrapped David Mamet’s Speed the Plow alongside Ben Mendelsohn and has several other movies in the can, including Marc Maron’s ensemble feature In Memoriam as well as AGC Studios’ feature Babies in which she appears with Seth Rogen and Anna Kendrick.

Youssef, who earlier this year released his third HBO stand-up special, Ramy Youssef: In Love, is repped by WME, Entertainment 360 and Yorn Levine.

Stone, who was last seen on the big screen as the scene-stealing villainess in Nobody 2, is repped by IAG, The Artists Partnership, Link Entertainment and Brecheen Feldman.
