Will Smith Shares Trailer for HBO Max's THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR REUNION
Will Smith has shared the first trailer for HBO Max’s The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reunion. It offers us a first look at what we can expect from the highly-anticipated reunion, and it looks like a lot of fun! This is something that fans of the sitcom are not going to want to miss! It was also announced that the special will debut on HBO Max on Thursday, November 19th.
The special is unscripted, and Smith is joined by series regulars Tatyana Ali, Karyn Parsons, Joseph Marcell, Daphne Maxwell Reid and Alfonso Ribeiro as well as recurring co-star DJ Jazzy Jeff for a family reunion on set in the Banks’ home for a look back at the groundbreaking show. Also joining the reunion is Janet Hubert, who originated the role of Aunt Viv, for the first time in 27 years for an emotional reunion and a candid conversation.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reunion was taped on the 30th anniversary of the original series premiere date, and it will be “a funny and heartfelt night full of music, dancing, and a look at the cultural impact the series has had since its debut 30 years ago.”
Marcus Raboy (Laugh Aid, Whitney Cummings: Can I Touch It?) directs the special, which is executive produced by Rikki Hughes, who also serves as showrunner, as well as Miguel Melendez, Lukas Kaiser, James Lassiter, and Brad Haugen for Westbrook Media. Raphael Saadiq serves as executive music producer.
It’s going to be a lot of fun to watch the cast of the series reunite after all these years and reminisce about their time on the show, sharing behind-the-scenes stories that we’ve never heard before.
