American comedian Tommy Davidson revealed at a premiere event that The Proud Family will be returning with new episodes on Disney+ — the company’s upcoming streaming platform.
Attending the premiere event for 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, Davidson — who voiced Oscar Proud in the original cartoon — revealed during an interview that Disney will be bringing back The Proud Family to Disney+, with new episodes to come as well. "I forgot to tell you that The Proud Family is coming back. Proud Family‘s coming back," Davidson said. "It’s on one of Disney’s streaming [services]. Yeah, Proud Family‘s coming back. They told me not to tell you…"
The Proud Family originally debuted in 2001 and ended its run in 2005 with a movie release titled The Proud Family Movie. The comical cartoon series followed the life of 14-year-old Penny Proud, voiced by Kyla Pratt, and her family through the meanderings and challenges of teenage life. Despite Davidson’s comments, Disney has yet to confirm the return of the beloved series to its upcoming streaming service, which is set to launch November 12, 2019.
For more Disney+ news, Ewan McGregor is rumored to be returning as Obi-Wan Kenobi for a Star Wars series on the platform.
