I don't even think they needed any ties to the original cast to do this reboot (and chronologically, wouldn't Dwyane and Whitney's daughter be like 30 now, lol, unless they say it's another/younger daughter). I would have just had Dwyane and maybe Kim or Freddie pop up as occasional professors. 

But nonetheless, great news and I hope it gets ordered by Netflix. It's long overdue for this concept to get the reboot treatment.  

Their youngest daughter. Theoretically, they'd have had more than one child by now

Exciting!

That fine ass photographer on Bill and Hayley's wedding on BTG has gotten cast in this this. Must watch!

 

The Variety article on this as well:

Maleah Joi Moon (“Hell’s Kitchen”) will star in the series as Deborah Wayne, the daughter of original series characters Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison) and Whitney Gilbert (Jasmine Guy). The official logline states the show “follows Deborah as she enters her freshman year at her parents’ HBCU alma mater and finds the shadow of her parents difficult to escape. She sets out to build her own legacy – while having the time of her life – alongside a whole new generation of Hillman’s best and brightest.”
