In addition to its humor, the Proud Family was a big step for inclusion and cultural diversity on children's television—plus its theme song sung by Solange Knowles and Destiny's Child remains iconic.

The new show will be executive produced by Bruce W. Smith and Ralph Farquhar, alongside co-executive producer Calvin Brown Jr., who all worked on the original run of the show.

While there's no release date for the show yet, all previous seasons of  The Proud Family  are currently available to stream on Disney+.
