Lisa Bonet has not taken a screen role since 2017 and has stepped almost entirely out of public life. The Cosby Show star’s last credit was Jellywolf, an eight-minute short film, and her divorce from Jason Momoa was finalized on 9 July 2024. She did not join the A Different World revival.

When Did Lisa Bonet Last Act?

Bonet’s last screen credit is Jellywolf, a short film released in 2017. The eight-minute piece was directed by Alma Har’el, commissioned by Chanel, and co-starred Kiersey Clemons.

Her last substantial television role came a year earlier, playing Marisol in the fourth season of Ray Donovan in 2016. She also appeared in Girls that same year.

That leaves roughly nine years without a new acting role as of November 2026. No new screen project has been announced with her attached, by her or by any studio or streaming service.

Why She Left “A Different World” After One Season

Bonet left A Different World in 1988 over her pregnancy and a disagreement about how the show would handle it. She had anchored the spin-off as Denise Huxtable through its first season, which ran from 1987 to 1988.

Incoming producer Debbie Allen wanted to write the pregnancy into the storyline. Series creator Bill Cosby rejected that idea, and Bonet returned to The Cosby Show instead, where she had played Denise since 1984.

Her daughter with Lenny Kravitz, Zoe Isabella Kravitz, was born on 1 December 1988. Bonet and Kravitz had eloped in Las Vegas on 16 November 1987, her twentieth birthday, and divorced in 1993.

Is Lisa Bonet in the Netflix Revival of “A Different World”?

No. Bonet is not in the cast of the sequel series, which returned as a Netflix series on 24 September 2026.

Denise Huxtable still exists in the story without her. The character’s son, Ellington, played by Vincent Jamal Hooper, attends Hillman College, and the first season closes with Dwayne Wayne, played by Kadeem Hardison, taking a phone call from Denise.

Returning cast members have been asked directly whether she will appear. Jasmine Guy called the question “a cliffhanger”. Cree Summer said of Bonet, “That’s my sister. But I can tell you, even if I begged, I don’t think she would come back.” Darryl M. Bell said he thinks she “has decided there’s a different path in life”.

No public statement from Bonet about a possible return has been reported as of 2 November 2026.

What Happened Between Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa?

They divorced in 2024, after a separation that had begun almost four years before it was announced. Bonet and Momoa had been together since 2005 and married in October 2017.

The couple made their separation public in January 2022. Bonet’s court filing later gave 7 October 2020 as the date of separation, which was their third wedding anniversary.

She filed for divorce on 8 January 2024, citing irreconcilable differences, and the terms were agreed within days. A Los Angeles County judge finalized the dissolution on 9 July 2024. The couple share joint legal custody of their two children, Lola and Nakoa-Wolf, and neither pays child support or spousal support.

Why Is Lisa Bonet Also Called Lilakoi Moon?

Lilakoi Moon is her legal name. She changed it in the 1990s but has always worked professionally as Lisa Bonet, which is why both names turn up in credits, photo captions and court records.

The Associated Press used Lilakoi Moon in its reporting on her divorce. Picture agencies file some of her images under that name too, which is a common source of confusion for anyone searching for her.

Where Is Lisa Bonet Now?

Bonet is 58 and keeps a largely private life, surfacing publicly a few times a year. Her most recent appearance was on 3 October 2026, when she sat in the front row at Celine’s show during Paris Fashion Week, where her waist-length silver hair drew most of the coverage.

Four months earlier, on 4 June 2026, she attended her daughter Lola’s high school graduation in Los Angeles alongside Momoa. Several outlets called the Celine show her first public appearance in about four years, a description that skips over the June graduation. The four-year gap actually runs from an October 2022 exhibition premiere to the middle of 2026.

She still has no announced acting work. The 3 October 2026 appearance is the most recent verified public update on her as of 2 November 2026.
