Bel-Air S1-3
Bel-Air successfully reimagines Fresh Prince as a drama, with last season nominated for Outstanding Drama Series at both the 2024 Black Reel and Image Awards, with Jabari Banks up for Best Actor at both as Will.
In Season 3, Will makes an exciting pivot – and finds a partner in Carlton, who’s desperate for a fresh start.
Adrian Holmes is back in his Image Award-nominated role as Uncle Phil, as is Nigerian-American actor Olly Sholotan as Carlton.
Bel-Air is once again executive produced by Oscar winner Will Smith and Morgan Cooper, whose viral fan trailer inspired the show’s reimagining as a drama.
