KeKe Palmer Is Joining Disney+'s The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder Revival

If you were already excited about Disney+'s The Proud Family revival The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, get ready for even more great news. TV Guide has learned that Keke Palmer is joining the cast of the anticipated animated series. 

Palmer is set to play a 14-year-old activist named Maya Leibowitz-Jenkins who "relentlessly marches to the beat of her own drum." Per the show's official description, she is "extremely mature for her age and will not hesitate to shut anyone down with her blunt honesty and wisdom. The adopted daughter of mixed-race parents, Maya is new to town, and initially disassociates herself from Penny and her crew because she is skeptical about what she perceives to be the superficiality of social cliques. However, Penny eventually gains her hard-earned respect and the two become good friends."

Palmer joined the cast Thursday for a virtual reunion ahead of the upcoming series, which you can check out in the above video.
