“Set in modern-day America, Peacock’s new one-hour drama series Bel-Air reimagines the beloved sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air through a new, dramatic take on Will’s complicated journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air,” a synopsis for the show on YouTube reads. While that show was a half-hour sitcom, “Bel-Air” is an hour-long drama, reimagining the initial story with a darker subtext.
Peacock released the first trailer for the series on Monday and announced it would begin streaming on February 13.īut the new show looks different than what fans of the original may expect. “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” the beloved sitcom starring Will Smith that aired for six seasons in the 1990s, is officially coming back – being rebooted as simply “Bel-Air” on Peacock, NBC’s streaming service.
Bel-Air’s iconic Fresh Prince is getting a fresh new look, 30 years later.
