For all you late '80s, early '90s fans of the hit show A Different World, get ready because they're back for a update on their lives on TV One's Unsung Hollywood. The episode will air Wednesday, Feb. 11, at 8 p.m.

For those of you who don't remember the cast, the show included Jasmine Guy (Whitley Gilbert), Kadeem Hardison (Dwayne Cleophus Wayne), Darryl M. Bell (Ronald "Ron" Johnson), Dawnn Lewis (Jaleesa Vinson Taylor), Charnele Brown (Kimberly "Kim" Reese), Cree Summer (Winifred "Freddie" Brooks), Lou Myers (Vernon Gaines), Glynn Turman (Col. Bradford "Brad" Taylor), Sinbad (Coach Walter Oakes), Jada Pinkett Smith (Lena James) and many more.

The show started in 1987 and was a spin-off for Lisa Bonet's Cosby Show character Denise Huxtable.

Bonet attended the fictional Hillman College, which was actually filmed at real historically black colleges and universities, such as Clark Atlanta University and Spelman College, both in Atlanta, Georgia.

Bonet attended the fictional school of her Cosby parents, Cliff (Bill Cosby) and Claire Huxtable (Phylicia Rashad).

During its six-year run, the show covered a range of issues, like domestic violence, hazing, racism and the Los Angeles riots.

One Wednesday night, Feb. 11, the gang will be back on TV One. One of the stars of the show, Charnele Brown aka Kimberly Reese, will talk about her life after the show, revealing that she has guest starred on sitcoms such as Living Single, Martin and Girlfriends. She now lives in Houston and is creating a new sitcom, which she describes as The Cosby Show meets Modern Family .

Internal battles with the network ensued, resulting in the show's sudden cancellation. The cast and crew will come together to discuss the creation of the show, share behind-the-scenes stories of important episodes and reflect on the legacy of a show that still resonates today.

Don't forget to tune in to the reunion on TV One tonight at 8 p.m.

Last time we checked in the director Debbie Allen and some of the stars, they were featured on OWN's Where Are They Now?
