In a February 2026 interview with People magazine, Lewis referenced that there'll be a A Different World sequel on Netflix. The original six-season NBC series, which was a The Cosby Show spin-off, focused on Hillman College students, including Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet).
"They have asked my availability date, so I'm sure at some point I'm going to be doing a guest star spot on the show," said Lewis, who starred in the series for the first five seasons. "They also indicated last summer that they're going to be reusing the original theme song, which is especially special for me because I wrote it. So we'll see if that actually manifests. That would be beyond cool."
"The show has never not been on the air. Since we first aired in 1987, the show has been on every week of every month of every year since then," said the actress in the People interview. "And not just here in the States, but around the world. So people, the young generation is still watching it, but now they're going to have kids their own age, more current."
"Sadly, some of the things that we had to tackle on that show are still issues to be tackled today, but now we've got different resources, we've got different options, different perspectives," said Lewis to the publication. "So we'll see how they deal with it, but I'm looking forward to this being a game changer and a mind changer for this current generation."

"Every day, someone will say, 'I went to an HBCU because I watched A Different World. I'm a doctor, an engineer because I watched A Different World. It's one of the most rewarding part of the work we've done," said the actor during the TODAY interview.
"I think it's very powerful because they could see themselves there," said Guy in the interview.
"I think that was one of the real sacred keys about Different World. We represented all of these different facets of young Black life that we had never seen before," said Summer.
