Keke Palmer joined the original cast of Kyla Pratt, Tommy Davidson, Paula Jai Parker, Cedric the Entertainer, and more last August as Maya Leibowitz-Jenkins, a new kid on the block described as a teenage activist.
Zachary Quinto and Billy Porter have joined Proud Family: Louder and Prouder as Barry Leibowitz-Jenkins and Randall Leibowitz-Jenkins, Maya's mixed-race adoptive parents.
EJ Johnson has also been added to the cast as Michael Collins, "Penny's best guy friend who is a non-conforming trendsetter, serving fierce looks at school and on the basketball court," according to Entertainment Weekly's exclusive first look of the show.
Looks like Proud Family: Louder and Prouder is ramping up to be an exciting queer-inclusive series, and we can't wait! It's expected to launch on Disney+ in 2022.
