Will Smith Producing Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reboot

[tay1]

A reboot of the popular 90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is reportedly in the works.

According to TVLine, original series' lead Will Smith is spearheading the project, where he will serve as producer at Overbrook Entertainment.

The show is reportedly in the early stages of development, and will provide a modern-day take on the show that skyrocketed Smith's acting career, but still retain the spirit of the original show.

Overbrook is believed to be finalizing its pitch now, which should begin making the rounds to networks within the next several weeks.

[sooperhooper]

90s war the pinnacle of television. A handful of great shows. Nowadays it's just a plethora of mediocre shows.

Yea keep that stuff dead in the 90s. The show ended for a reason. Stop trying to bring stuff from the dead man.

It's never going to be the same.

Just like with Girl Meets World. Not half the show the OG was.

Of course, it isn't. Especially with Uncle Phil gone.

In regards to Girl Meets World, I think the show has created its identity with a mix of Corey's daughters world and his world. I really like the balance of how the episodes bring back old characters and focus on Riley's life.

Pun intended?

 

[Fozz]

I'd simply be happy with a reunion special on NBC. To see the OG cast back in Bel-Air and have a tribute to Uncle Phil.

weren't you the one who was saying who cares, and to make reboots. that it doesn't tarnish the previous body of work ? now you don't want a reboot

 

[knowledgebones72]

I wonder if they're gonna go with lightskinned Aunt Viv or darkskinned Aunt Viv

 

[lightweight champion]

Janet Hubert still has a strong distaste for Will.

 

[dathbgboy]

And I really wanna know why. I'm not buying either of their stories

When people get older they tend to glorify all the good things around the time in which they grew up and put it on another pedestal.

The black mom or the white mom is what we used to say
