The original Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was aired on NBC from 1990 to 1996 which was starred the famous Will Smith as the main character.
Since we’re now officially in the era of making reboots, producers decided to create a remake of the old one, only that the new one is entitled “Bel-Air” and is repurposed into a more dramatic tale to which the watchers can relate.
Here are the details you need to know about the upcoming series.
Bel-Air Season 1: Its Official Trailer
Fortunately, there is! Last January 10, the official trailer was released by Peacock that gave the viewer’s a peek of what to expect from the series.

The Plot
The official synopsis calls the series a “dramatic analogue” of the 90’s sitcom and this can already be seen crystal clear in the released trailer. As expected, the new series conceptualizes the original sitcom but will deeply explore the origin story of the main character and why he had to move from Philadelphia to Bel-Air.
