The first teaser trailer for Bel-Air has been released, offering a very different take on the classic theme song from Fresh Prince. While no specific date has been given, Peacock has made it known that Bel-Air will premiere on the streaming service in 2022. 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. But basically, the show starred Smith as a kid that went from growing up on the rough and tough streets of Philadelphia to living in the Bel-Air mansion of his aunt and uncle.
