Peacock’s officially renewed Bel-Air for a fourth season, which, unfortunately for fans, will be the series’ final season. The 10-episode third season premiered in August 2024. Peacock’s announcement didn’t confirm when the fourth season is expected to debut.
The drama stars Jabari Banks as Will, Adrian Holmes as Phillip Banks, Cassandra Freeman as Vivian Banks, Olly Sholotan as Carlton Banks, and Coco Jones as Hilary Banks. Akira Akbar plays Ashley Banks, Jimmy Akingbola plays Geoffrey, Jordan L. Jones is Jazz, and Simone Joy Jones is Lisa.
The Fresh Prince‘s Tatyana Ali, Joseph Marcell, Vernee Watson-Johnson, and Daphne Maxwell Reid have appeared as guest stars. Bianca Belair, Bill Bellamy, Justin Cornwell, Andra Day, Melissa De Sousa, Nicholas Duvernay, and Dulé Hill have also popped in over the first three seasons.
“Set in modern-day Los Angeles, Bel-Air reimagines the iconic culture-defining ’90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air through a new, dramatic take on Will’s complicated journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air,” reads Peacock’s synopsis. “In season three, school’s out for the summer, and Will is doing Bel-Air his way. Being a part of the Banks family has given him a new perspective – it isn’t just about wealth, it means that Will now has options to lean into other things that excite him and has the privilege to dream bigger. As Will makes an exciting pivot, he finds a partner in Carlton, who desperately wants to leave his life of addiction behind and rebuild his damaged reputation.
And while the dynamic duo has a lot of exciting wins, working together also reveals fundamental differences in their backgrounds and worldviews. Can a partnership of such extremes work? Pressure at work and home will also pose challenges for Viv and Phil. How does a couple hold strong when their lives are at sea? Hilary’s romantic journey with LaMarcus will face some shocking hurdles, and Ashley’s views on romance will start to blossom as she comes of age the summer before she starts high school, and Geoffrey’s London past will come a little too close to home.”
Carla Banks Waddles guides the series as showrunner, writer, and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Morgan Cooper, Will Smith, Terence Carter, James Lassiter, Miguel Melendez, Benny Medina, Quincy Jones, and Andy & Susan Borowitz.
