The initial series ran for six periods and also aired 148 episodes in between 1990 and 1996, thrusting Smith to international fame. Now 23 years given that the last season covered, the publication reports that Smith is in the center of broadening his worldwide brand as well as this includes a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air spin-off.
Huge followers of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, aka the 90s TV sitcom starring Will Smith, could really be coming back.
We youngster you not, the funny, where Smith played a fictional version of himself as a teenager who is sent out to relocate with his wealthy auntie as well as uncle in their Bel Air estate after entering difficulty in your home, is set to be having a reboot, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Information are under wraps in the meantime however the job is obviously being headed up by Westbrook, the holding business for Smith as well as his other half Jada’s businesses which they introduced earlier this year.
This isn’t the first time there’s been rumours circulating about a brand-new series, fans have actually been speculating regarding it because FOREVER. In the previous there were records that Fresh Prince was coming back as a female-led comedy (now that would be excellent), as well as others claiming it would be an animated collection after Smith shared an image of an animation variation. Now, it seems like we have finally obtained one of the most official verification yet.
Back in 2017, Smith actually joked that if there was a reboot he ‘d need to play the role of Uncle Phil since he’s currently in his 50s. For real fans though, he’ll constantly be the slightly silly, gangly West Philadelphia youngster.
In 2015 Alfonso Ribeiro who played Carlton Banks, Smith’s cousin in the program, claimed that a rebirth would certainly be impossible after the death of James Avery in 2014, the star that played Uncle Phil.
Ribeiro claimed, «Do we actually wish to see Will and also Carlton in their, you recognize, 50s and 40s? James Avery, right, he’s really one of the most crucial personality on the show … Without him, everything that Will and also Carlton did would indicate nothing.»
We’re hoping Ribeiro is confirmed wrong since if any individual can efficiently restore our favorite 90s comedies for a new audience, we think it’s Will Smith.
