With production just getting underway, no footage from the show is available. It certainly won’t be arriving any time before 2022. However, in terms of a release date for the series on Peacock, that is to be determined. Now, production is getting underway in Los Angeles and Philadelphia. The first news about Bel-Air came in fall 2020 when Peacock ordered two seasons from Cooper and his creative team. Peacock recently announced the other main cast members that will make up the Banks family. Banks found out the news from Smith himself. That honor was given to actual Philadelphia native Jabari Banks, a completely fresh face as he has no previous credits, according to IMDb. The first job of Bel-Air was to cast the new actor taking on the role that made Will Smith a star. With a reimagined vision, Bel-Air will dive deeper into the inherent conflicts, emotions and biases that were impossible to fully explore in a 30-minute sitcom format, while still delivering swagger and nods to the original show.” Who is in the ‘Bel-Air’ cast? “Set in modern-day America, Bel-Air is a serialized one-hour dramatic analogue of the 90’s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air that leans into the original premise: Will’s complicated journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air. The official synopsis from Peacock reads: The show will be an hour-long drama that keeps the basic premise of the original show, but transports it to modern day America and dives deeper into the real conflicts that would come from a kid from West Philadelphia uprooting his life and moving in with his upper-class relatives in California. That is where Bel-Air will differ, as it is distinctly a drama. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was a half-hour sitcom that played on Smith’s big personality, and while it did feature a number of episodes dealing with issues including gun violence, discrimination and absentee fathers, it was first and foremost a comedy. Will is also involved in the project as an executive producer along with original series creators Andy and Susan Borowitz.But basically, the show starred Smith as a kid went from growing up on the rough and tough streets of Philadelphia to living in the Bel-Air mansion of his aunt and uncle. Now, more than a year later, Morgan is co-writing and co-executive producing The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot with showrunner Chris Collins. A month later, Will and Morgan met up to discuss how the trailer came to be. Will was one of the millions blown away by the YouTube video. In March 2019, cinematographer Morgan Cooper released a four-minute trailer entitled BEL-AIR, which reimagined the show as a drama set in today's world. Intrigued? Here’s what’s in store for Bel-Air: What is The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot Bel-Air about? The new show promises to tell a modern narrative in which the protagonist faces deeper challenges as a young Black man. While Will's career soared after starring in the hit NBC show, the 52-year-old actor never forgot about his roots - and now, he's returning to them with a reboot of the show called Bel-Air. The beloved ‘90s sitcom follows a street-smart teenager from Philadelphia who moved to Bel-Air to live with his uncle and aunt. Roughly 20 years ago, Will Smith was at the center of TV history starring in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
