"BEL-AIR is a one-hour, dramatic retelling of the beloved '90s sitcom, 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,' that leans into the original premise of Will’s complicated journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air," Universal TV said in a statement to TODAY.
The trailer is still available online and shows a new cast filling the shoes of Will, Carlton, Aunt Viv and Uncle Phil. There's plenty of drama, but none of Will's silly antics that made the comedy a hit.Smith first saw the trailer in March 2019 and said the dramatic retelling was"brilliant." The next month, he"Bel-Air is a reimagining. It's a reinterpretation of this incredible story, and bringing it into modern day life in 2019," Cooper told Smith in the video.
Smith agreed that while the show was funny, there was an entirely different"layer" they weren't able to explore. "In a one hour drama, you can do eight episode arcs," he said."The dramatic version of these ideas means that you can use existing storylines, but it's not going to seem like you're redoing an episode, because the storyline is going to be be brand new from the dramatic perspective."said the series is being shopped to streaming networks, including Netflix, NBC's Peacock and HBO Max, among others.
