The team fell in love with Wrice’s aesthetic, making it easy for them to envision her as a character.
“We said, ‘oh my gosh, she’s Penny Proud,'” Farquhar said in the featurette. “If we were to imagine Penny Proud as a pop star, that’s who she would be.”
Following behind legendary artists, Wrice knows she has big shoes to fill but is happy to have the baton.
“I was a fan of [The Proud Family] growing up, and the theme song is just so iconic,” Wrice said. “It’s timeless; it is classic. Destiny’s Child and Solange sang it, and I couldn’t stop singing it, for me to take the baton and do it, it’s amazing.”
In Louder and Prouder, fans will see The Proud Family doing what they do best as we follow Penny Proud in her teen years and typical shenanigans with her family and friends. The original cast, including Kyla Pratt, Tommy Davidson, and Paula Jai Parker, is back with the team. This season wouldn’t be louder and prouder without guest voices such as Lizzo, Normani, Lil Nas X, and many more.
