If you’re excited for the return of the Fresh Prince, you may want to know how to watch Bel-Air online for free to see Will Smith’s new Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot.
Bel-Air is a reboot of NBC’s Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which aired for six seasons from 1990 to 1996. The sitcom starred Smith as Will, a street-smart teenager born and raised in west Philadelphia who moves in with his wealthy uncle and aunt in their Bel-Air mansion. Bel-Air, which stars a new cast as the original characters from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, is a more dramatic version of the sitcom and sees Will’s mother send him to live with his uncle and aunt in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, to straighten him out after he’s involved in a gang fight during a street basketball game in Philadelphia. The reboot is based on Morgan Cooper’s 2019 short film of the same title. Cooper is also an executive producer on Bel-Air and helped develop the series.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly in 2021, Jabari Banks, who plays Will in Bel-Air, opened up about what it was like to step into Smith’s shoes as the new Fresh Prince. “Growing up, people always told me I resembled Will and his energy,” he said. “When I got the call, they said, ‘This isn’t Will Smith, superstar.’ They weren’t going for that. And so when they chose me, it took me a couple of weeks to realize that they chose me for me — for what I do. I just had to lean into my instincts and everything that I’ve learned from my experiences, and there’s so many parallels between me and Will, the character.” Cooper told the magazine that Banks was the only choice as Will from his first audition. “You can’t mess that up. And I’ll never forget that first day, on the first take, right away, he’s just fearless in his performance, and I said, ‘He’s going to be just fine,'” Cooper said.
