According to a press release obtained by VIBE, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, “picks up the story of its central character, Penny Proud, and her iconic family: parents Oscar and Trudy, twin siblings BeBe and CeCe, and grandmother Suga Mama (and Puff!)”

Penny is also joined by her longtime crew, and some new faces, including Dijonay Jones, LaCienega Boulevardez, Zoey Howzer, Maya Leibowitz-Jenkins and Michael Collins.

Orlando Brown’s character “Sticky Webb” has not returned to the series, which launched 22 years ago.

This season will be action-packed with “entertaining and laugh out-loud stories, while highlighting culturally specific experiences of the Black community and addressing universal topics.” Viewers can expect to laugh and learn about important topics including self-worth, interracial dating and the national holiday Juneteenth.
