Watch The First Teaser For The Dramatic 'Fresh Prince' Reboot
The first teaser for “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” reboot is here.
Inspired by the ’90s sitcom, Peacock’s reimagined drama “Bel-Air” is based on Morgan Cooper’s viral fan film Bel-Air, which dropped in 2019. Newcomer Jabari Banks takes on the role of Will Smith’s character from the original series, which went off the air in 1996.
Smith, who serves as executive producer, provides a dramatic reading of the show’s theme song in the underwater clip. Banks wears Jordans as an homage to the sneakers worn by Smith’s character. There are also basketballs, trophies, and pairs of dice, a reference to the song’s lyrics, “The license plate said ‘Fresh’ and it had dice in the mirror.” At the end, a crown is placed on Banks’ head as he takes his throne as the prince of Bel-Air.
