In an interview with theWrap, original creators Smith and Farquhar spoke about how they were begging Disney to have The Proud Family return for years. “They knew we wanted to come back. We were annoying. We were calling them up, taking them out to lunch, and finally they said, ‘OK, OK, we’ll bring you back,'” said Farquhar.
“In this new game of streaming, you need content, you need content that speaks to a wide range of audiences,” explained Smith. “And I think what The Proud Family did the very first time we were on the Disney Channel is that we tapped into an audience that probably wasn’t an audience that Disney had on the regular. And I think with social media, you started to really understand the heat around the nostalgia of The Proud Family and what it meant to a lot of people who were kids at the time, who are now 30-something-year-olds with certain levels of influence, some with kids.”
