UK viewers will be able to stream Bel-Air online from Valentine’s Day on Monday, February 14 on Peacock, exclusively on Sky and NOW.
The Bel-Air reboot is set to have much more of a gritty feel to it. The official trailer, on Will Smith’s YouTube channel begins with a fairly dark backdrop from Carlton and Will’s perspective overlooking the hills, with just a glimmer of sunlight. This is vastly different from the brightly coloured Fresh Prince of Bel-Air we are used to in the original series.
This dark and gritty theme carries on throughout the three-minute clip as we see Will in some fighting scenes and under pressure by the police, - along with hints of violence ahead as guns are pulled.
Will Smith does have a producer credit on this new Bel-Air reboot. However, thus far there is no indication that he will have any cameo appearances.
Cast members that have been announced for the new series include newcomer Jabari Banks who will play Will, Adrian Holmes (Chained) as Uncle Phil, Cassandra Freeman (Blue Caprice) as Aunt Viv, Nigerian-American actor Olly Sholotan as Carlton and Coco Jones (Let it Shine) as Hilary. Akira Akbar (Captain Marvel) will portray Ashley.
British actor Jimmy Akingbola will also be in the cast. He will play Geoffrey, who if going by the original

Peacock’s Intriguing ‘Bel-Air’ Flips ‘Fresh Prince,’ and Turns Low Expectations Upside-Down : TV Review
Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticNo matter what it turned out to actually be, “Bel-Air” was always going to raise some eyebrows by its premise alone. As every network and streaming service scrambles to make the best (or at least most) use of their in-house IP, a grim reboot of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” for Peacock sounds like something ripped straight from a “30 Rock” joke about NBC trying to make it 1990 again through science or magic.
