About Moesha TV Sitcom
Moesha aired on UPN from 23 January 1996 to 14 May 2001. The series stars the famous R&B singer Brandy Norwood as Moesha Denise Mitchell. Moesha is a high school student living with her family in the Leimert Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. The show was primarily ordered as a pilot for CBS’ 1995–1996 television season but the network rejected the sitcom. UPN picked it later and aired it as a mid-season replacement. It went on to become the biggest success for the nascent network and one of the greatest hits throughout the network’s entire run. The series was a joint production of Regan Jon Productions, Saradipity Productions, and Jump at the Sun Productions in association with Big Ticket Television for UPN.

Netflix’s announcement was accompanied by a star-studded video mash-up from the series’ numerous actors. Tracee Ellis Ross, Robert Ri’chard, Tia Mowry, Coby Bell, Pooch Hall, Valerie Pettiford, and Sicily Johnson shared favorite moments from their shows.
“I am beyond humbled and honored at how much the fans continue to ride hard for [these shows] years later and how it’s made a huge impact on the culture,” the actors said. “These shows changed the face of television as we know it. And it helps for black creators both in front of and behind the camera. It has provided us with being able to be in the homes of people worldwide.”
“These shows made us laugh, and cry, and sing along with those catchy theme songs. And mostly importantly, we felt like we saw ourselves on screen — in some cases for the very first time,” said a statement from Bradley Edwards, Netflix’s content acquisition manager, and Jasmyn Lawson, manager of Strong Black Lead. “Every week we were able to tune in to see people, families, and friends that looked like us and characters whose everyday ups and downs reflected Black life in an authentic way.”
