*We caught up with the creative team behind “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder” to dish on season two which premiered February 1 with all episodes streaming on Disney+.
Per the official synopsis: “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder” revival 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!). By Penny’s side is her loyal crew: Dijonay Jones, LaCienega Boulevardez, Zoey Howzer, Maya Leibowitz-Jenkins and Michael Collins.
Building off the standout success of the series’ debut, season two of “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder” continues to tell entertaining and laugh out-loud stories, while highlighting culturally specific experiences of the Black community and addressing universal topics. Various storylines this season include self-worth, interracial dating and Juneteenth.
The first season of the revived show featured guest stars like Lizzo, Lil Nas X, and Tiffany Haddish, and the second installment tapped a slew of A-list voice actors, such as Leslie Odom Jr., Gabrielle Union, Chance the Rapper, Maury Povich as himself, Storm Reid, Anthony Anderson, Courtney B. Vance and more.
