Bel-Air is an American television drama that was ordered to series by Peacock for two seasons on September 9, 2020. The hour long series is a reimagining of the 1990s sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The reboot was inspired by Morgan Cooper’s fan film that re-envisioned the sitcom. The drama hails from Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's Westbrook Studios and Universal Television.[1]
Synopsis[]
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. 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.
