It’s happening!
According to Jo Marie Payton, The Proud Family is returning with new episodes on Disney+. Payton, who voiced Suga Mama on the series, broke the news during the third hour of Good Morning America.
Speaking with Keke Palmer, Michael Strahan, and Sara Haines, Payton said, “Suga’s large and in charge. That’s all I’ve got to say. Suga Mama will be doing some new episodes come February.”
The news comes after Tommy Davidson, who voiced Oscar Proud, told reporters in August that the series would be revived.
The Proud Family starred Kyla Pratt, Paula Jai Parker, Orlando Brown, Alisa Reyes, Tara Strong, Soleil Moon Frye, Davidson, and Payton. The series, which aired from 2001-2005 on the Disney Channel, also featured an infectious theme song by Solange, featuring Destiny’s Child.
