The A Different World franchise has re-entered the entertainment landscape with the premiere of the Netflix sequel series in late September. Now, two original stars of the NBC sitcom who reprised their roles in the sequel series are launching a podcast. Kadeem Hardison, who plays Dwayne Wayne, and Daryl M. Bell, who plays Ron, are launching a weekly rewatch podcast of the original series, according to a Variety report.
Variety also reported the podcast's official synopsis.
“Each week, the pair will bring their nearly 40-year friendship and signature chemistry to conversations spanning entertainment, pop culture, sports and whatever else has their attention before heading back to Hillman. They’ll rewatch ‘A Different World’ episode by episode, sharing behind-the-scenes stories, unpacking why the groundbreaking series continues to resonate nearly four decades later and welcoming familiar faces from the show along the way. They’ll also look ahead to the new Netflix sequel series, with conversations featuring members of both the original and new casts.”
Bell spoke about his excitement to do the podcast project in a quote obtained by Variety.
“I am beyond excited to finally launch the ‘A Different World View with Darryl and Kadeem’ podcast. Kadeem and I have only wanted to do this for over 25 years, and the time is now! I also could not be happier or think of better partners than Charlamagne Tha God, his team at The Black Effect and iHeartMedia.”
