We chat with BelAir stars Olly Sholotan (AfricanGodling), Adrian Holmes, and JimmyAkingbola about Carlton's relationship with Will as well as Geoffrey's relationship with Phil in season 2 of the peacock series:
Bel-Air begins when Will Smith gets into trouble at home in West Philadelphia, causing his mother to send him to live with his aunt and uncle in the wealthy LA suburb. After moving in with his family and starting school with his cousin Carlton, Will slowly finds his footing and learns how to handle his new environment and community. The dramatic reimagining of the beloved 1990s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air just returned for season 2 on Peacock, and it's already shaking up the game.
Olly Sholotan: That growth is one of my favorite things that we've gotten to explore this season. Because season 1, they were very much at each other's throats. And for kind of most of the season, they did not get along. And I think that's something that I know audiences wanted to see: was that relationship that was more akin to the original Fresh Prince of Bel Air. But with our show, we really, really took the time for them to get there.
Adrian Holmes: That's a good question. He has to try and figure out his career, get focused on what direction he wants to go. And he learned a lot when he was running for DA with the community and just things that need to be done. Also his wife was there with him and her art, and he's just trying to make everything come together and be balanced. But now he doesn't have Geoffrey in this house. A lot of things that were being taken care of, he has to now step in and fill those shoes.
I'll keep that quiet, but look for it. There's so many nuggets on this season. Tatyana Ali is one of them and, as everyone knows, she's amazing. She was amazing to work with. She loved being on the show, and seeing her and Ashley together was a moment for sure. I think a bit of distance is done him a lot of good, but also, I think he's allowed that feeling of anger and frustration we feel build up. Healing takes time. There's some family members in these days, they don't speak for years. Some friends that have a disagreement and don't speak again. We definitely lean into the possibility of that, I will say that much.
