A Different World to Return for Season 2 on Netflix; Prime Video's Barbershop Comedy Series Premieres February 10
Netflix announced that A Different World has been renewed for a second season. Season 1 premiered September 24th, following Deborah, Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert's free-spirited, well-intentioned, yet rebellious youngest child, during her freshman year at Hillman College alongside a whole new generation of Hillman's best and brightest.
Season 2 Logline: After transformative summers, Deborah and her Hillman classmates return to campus for sophomore year with a "New Year, New Me" attitude, only to find themselves faced with past decisions, uncertain futures, new loves and friendships, and deeper questions of purpose... all while, of course, getting themselves into a whole lot of new mess.
Prime Video revealed a new teaser from the upcoming comedy series, Barbershop, from Amazon MGM Studios, MGM Television, Hartbeat, Busy B Entertainment, Prominent Productions, and State Street Pictures at this year's CultureCon. The comedy series inspired by the beloved film franchise will premiere all eight episodes on February 10, 2027, exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Travis "Trav" Walker (Jermaine Fowler) returns to Chicago hoping to honor his grandfather's legacy at the iconic Calvin's barbershop, but the shop has changed, and so has the city. As Trav struggles to find his place among a new crew of barbers and loyal customers, Calvin's remains what it's always been, a place for sharp fades, sharp opinions, and a community that always has something to say.
The cast also includes Brett Gray, Punkie Johnson, Roy Wood Jr., E.J. Bonilla, Bresha Webb, Bokeem Woodbine, Tiana Okoye, and Langston Kerman. Guest stars who will appear are Zack Fox, Ego Nwodim, Diallo Riddle, Ziwe, Tituss Burgess, Comedian CP, Devon Walker, and Belmont Cameli.
