The once beloved 90s comedy will return as a drama.
The trailer for the reboot of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, titled only as Bel-Air has been released. Will Smith announced the news and shared the trailer on his YouTube.
The reboot will follow the same story foundation, the title character still moves from west Philadelphia, where he was born and raised, to his aunt and uncle’s luxury mansion in a wealthy LA suburb, but the new show will take on a gritty, dangerous tone turning the beloved 90s sitcom into a drama.
In 2019, a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air fan came up with an idea to reboot the sitcom as a gritty drama, even making a mock trailer to show how it could look. Soon after Will Smith got in touch and made the fan-made version happen. The fan, Morgan Cooper and Smith will executive produce the show.
The show will premiere on February 13th.
