Los Angeles, CALIF. (November 3, 2021) - iPOP Alum Karrie Martin is set to appear in the upcoming reboot of the hit Disney Channel series, ‘The Proud Family.’ The show will debut on Disney+ in 2022 as ‘The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder’ and is currently in post-production.

Bruce W. Smith and Ralph Farquhar will serve as executive producers on the series, as they did for the original show. In addition, Jan Hirota has boarded the project as a producer with Calvin Brown Jr. as co-executive producer and story editor.
Karrie currently stars on the hit Netflix series ‘Gentefied.’ She has also appeared in Pretty Little Liars, The Arrangement, and USA’s The Purge.
