The Proud family is making their return for the fourth and final season of their Louder and Prouderrevival series, and Entertainment Weekly is exclusively debuting the first look at what’s in store for fans.

Season four, from creator and executive producer Bruce W. Smith and executive producer Ralph Farquhar, picks up after the dramatic events of its predecessor, which left the Proud family at a life-changing turning point. Penny (Kyla Pratt) and her boyfriend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Brown (Asante Blackk) must now deal with the consequences of their decision to run away from Emilyville together after their parents attempted to intervene in their increasingly co-dependent relationship.

And, of course, her family doesn’t make that easy on her.

As Penny tries to regain her parents’ trust and right the world that’s been thrown off-kilter, she’s pulled into a series of unexpected adventures that test her courage and identity.

With a promise of more action-packed, mind-bending and heartfelt twists than ever before, season 4 finds the Prouds facing every new challenge head-on, proving that no matter how chaotic life gets, they’re strongest when they face it together.

Season 4 features the return of series regulars Pratt, Tommy Davidson (Oscar Proud), Paula Jai Parker (Trudy Proud), JoMarie Payton (Suga Mama), Cedric The Entertainer (Uncle Bobby), Karen Malina White (Dijonay Jones), Soleil Moon Frye (Zoey Howzer), Alisa Reyes (LaCienega Boulevardez), Carlos Mencia (Felix Boulevardez), Alvaro Gutierrez (Papi), Raquel Lee Bolleau (Nubia Gross), Marcus T. Paulk (Myron), and Melissa De Sousa (Sunset Boulevardez).

And as the trailer teases, this season features the luminous return of Ms. Mariah Carey, who makes her comeback to the series more than 20 years after she first lent her voice to the original version of the sitcom.

First announced in February 2022, Disney+’s revival of the franchise with Louder and Prouder has garnered recognition and critical acclaim. The series has won a NAMIC Award, multiple NAACP Image Awards, including for Outstanding Animated Series, and a Children’s and Family Emmy Award for Outstanding Casting for an Animated Series, as well as GLAAD Media Awards and Annie Awards nominations.

Kurt Farquhar returns as songwriter and composer with six new original songs to be included in this holiday special.
