Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! It's another "fall premiere week" (though admittedly, with the decline of broadcast and cable along with the rise of series premiering outside of the fall season, it isn't as powerful as it used to be), and we have news about some new series pickups, an American Idol move, and more.

Brandy to Sing Theme Song for A Different World; Damon Wayans Reuniting with David Alan Grier on St. Denis Medical

Netflix announced that Grammy Award winner, Brandy Norwood, is bringing her voice to the theme song for A Different World, releasing September 24th, only on Netflix.

A Different World returns to Hillman College with a new class stepping onto campus - and beloved faces coming home. At the center is Deborah Wayne (Maleah Joi Moon), Whitley and Dwayne's lovingly sheltered youngest daughter, a free spirit with a flair for the spotlight and a big heart who's still figuring out her own path at Hillman.

Along the way, she's joined by a new generation that reflects the breadth of Black life on campus: Rashida Duvall (Alijah Kai), a first gen criminal justice major; Shaquille Johnson (Cornell Young IV), a five star athlete choosing legacy; Amir Rodale (Jordan Aaron Hall), a sharp psych major better at fixing everyone else's problems than facing his own; Hazel Henry (Kennedi Reece), a church raised small town girl defining her own values; and Kojo Achebe (Chibuikem Uche), a Ghanaian Nigerian fashion entrepreneur finding the courage to follow his vision. Legacy favorites also return, including Whitley Gilbert (Jasmine Guy), Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison), Freddie Brooks (Cree Summer), and Ron Johnson (Darryl M. Bell).

Set against the rituals, humor, and nuances of an HBCU, A Different World is a hopeful dramedy, full of heart and unapologetically centered on the richness and complexity of the Black experience.

Damon Wayans (My Wife and Kids, Lethal Weapon) reunites with In Living Color castmate David Alan Grier on the season three premiere of NBC's St. Denis Medical. Wayans will guest star in the role of Dr. Highland, a charming but pompous new doctor at St. Denis. He is filling in while Ron (David Alan Grier) is recovering from surgery. All the patients and staff (besides Alex) have fallen head over heels for him and his insights.

St. Denis Medical is a mockumentary about an underfunded, understaffed Oregon hospital where the dedicated doctors and nurses try their best to treat patients while maintaining their own sanity. In season three, romantic entanglements and personal struggles complicate relationships in the Emergency Department, pushing some St. Denis employees to the brink.

The series will return for season three on Monday, November 2 at 8 p.m. on NBC. Season one and two are available to stream on Peacock.
