Bel-Air

Monday

Peacock

In 2019, Morgan Cooper wrote and directed a short fan film based on the 1990s-defining sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Influenced by the films of Ryan Coogler (Creed, Black Panther), Cooper’s vision was of a darker, grittier, more dramatic and updated Bel-Air.

Inspired by the reimagining, Will Smith teamed up with Cooper to develop the short into a full-blown series, which retraces Smith’s steps from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air. Jabari Banks stars as the young Will Smith, while Adrian Holmes becomes the new Uncle Phil.
