Great news for fans of the popular series Bel-Air as Peacock announces the highly anticipated third season will premiere on Thursday, August 15, 2024, with the first three episodes available immediately. New episodes will then stream weekly, continuing this refreshing take on the classic ’90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
This season will focus on the evolving dynamics between cousins Will (Jabari Banks) and Carlton (Olly Sholotan), exploring their contrasting perspectives and raising the question of whether their partnership can withstand their differences.
The show will also explore the lives of other favourite characters: Viv (Cassandra Freeman) and Phil (Adrian Holmes) as they navigate parental challenges, Hilary (Coco Jones) and LaMarcus (Justin Cornwell) facing unexpected relationship obstacles, and Ashley (Akira Akbar) embarking on the exploration of romance as a high school student. Additionally, Geoffrey’s (Jimmy Akingbola) past in London will come back to haunt him.
Created by filmmaker and Fresh Prince enthusiast Morgan Cooper, the series originated from a four-minute short film that went viral, capturing the attention of none other than Will Smith, who is now an executive producer. Bel-Air reimagines the classic sitcom for a modern audience, offering a fresh take on the familiar characters and their stories.
