The entire voice cast will be reprising the roles from the original series, along with some much needed updates.
TV & Movies Lizzo, Lil Nas X, and Tiffany Haddish are among the celebrities guest-starring in the new show. It’s hard to come up with a better end to Black history month than the return of The Proud Family. Over 15 years after the Disney animated series came to an end, a reboot — The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder — will hit Disney+ on Feb.23. Like the original, the new show will follow the antics of titular Proud Family, including teenager Penny Proud, her parents Trudy and Oscar, and her beloved grandma Sugar Mama. The reboot will also include the addition of several new characters — many of them voiced by celebrities — as they settle into life in the town of Smithville. Read on for a full breakdown of the new and returning cast. Kyla Pratt will reprise her role as protagonist Penny, the Prouds’ plucky and precocious teenage daughter and engine that drives the show. Though Penny may be Pratt’s most iconic role, fans may also remember her turn as Brianna Barnes on the early 2000s sitcom One on One or as Maya, the daughter of Eddie Murphy’s character, from the Dr. Doolittle film franchise. “Realizing throughout my life, and my journey, how many people come up to talk to me about how influential [ The Proud Family] has been to them… it helped me realize how [influential] it was for me [too],” Pratt told Bustle in a recent interview. Of the main cast, Keke Palmer is probably the biggest name. She’s appeared in shows including Insecure, Big Mouth, and the Scream TV series on MTV in addition to a standout role in Lorene Scafaria’s buzzy crime dramedy Hustlers, and she’s next set to appear in Jordan Peele’s new horror-thriller Nope.
