The pilot will follow Dwayne Cleophus Wayne (Kadeem Hardison) and Whitley Gilbert-Wayne’s (Jasmine Guy) daughter’s time at an HBCU. The project has reportedly been in development at Netflix since last year. It was initially set to be a single-camera, and as of now, it’s unknown if that will change, as the original series was a multi-camera. The sequel comes from writer and executive producer Felicia Pride and executive producers Debbie Allen, Mandy Summers, Tom Werner, Gina Price-Bythewood, and Reggie Bythewood.
