Veteran Nigerian actor Richard Mofe-Damijo has appeared in Netflix’s *A Different World*, joining the cast of the streaming service’s sequel to the popular American sitcom.

Mofe-Damijo, widely known as RMD, plays Mr Chukwu in the new series. He makes a guest appearance in the seventh episode.

The sequel premiered on Netflix on September 24th 2026, nearly four decades after the original series debuted on NBC in 1987.

**Hillman returns**

The new series follows Deborah Wayne, the youngest daughter of original characters Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert, as she begins her first year at the fictional Hillman College.

The 10-episode series introduces a new generation of students while bringing back familiar characters from the original show. Its cast includes Maleah Joi Moon as Deborah, Kadeem Hardison as Dwayne and Jasmine Guy as Whitley.

RMD’s appearance adds another international production to the Nigerian actor’s career. His role also brings a Nigerian character into a series built around the experiences of students at a historically Black college.

Netflix has not announced a separate spin-off or further storyline centred on Mr Chukwu. For now, his appearance is part of the show's larger story about a new generation finding its place at Hillman College.
