Every 'The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder' Season 2 Guest Star

The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder season 2 features a host of big names appearing as guest stars in the new episodes.

The animated series originally ran for two seasons in 2001 and 2002, before ending with the 2005 Disney Channel original movie, The Proud Family Movie.

The Proud Family, which follows the antics of Penny Proud and her loved ones, then returned in 2022 for a 10-episode run of the revamped series The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder on Disney+.

In both the original and the new series, Penny's family is made up of parents Oscar and Trudy, twin siblings BeBe and CeCe, and grandmother Suga Mama.
