“In our minds, the show never really went away, as we still had tons of stories left to tell,” said Farquhar and Smith. “It’s the perfect time to bring back this show, and we can’t wait to take fans, old and new alike, on this journey with us.”
“The show’s humor and relatable stories are as relevant with audiences today as ever,” said Agnes Chu, senior vice president, Content, Disney+. “Our audiences have loved rediscovering their favorite episodes of The Proud Family, and we’re excited Bruce, Ralph, Calvin, and the returning cast are creating new stories for their new home on Disney+.”
“The genius of the original Proud Family series was that, under the guise of a family comedy, it provided a brilliant social commentary on our life and times,” said Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide. “With this new series, Bruce and Ralph will once again challenge everyone to think differently about the world we share.”
All previous seasons of The Proud Family are currently available on Disney+.
