Plot

Will, a street-smart teenager, moves from the tough streets of West Philly to posh Bel-Air to live with his Uncle Philip, Aunt Vivian, his cousins — spoiled Hilary, preppy Carlton and young Ashley — and their sophisticated British butler, Geoffrey. Though Will’s antics and upbringing contrast greatly with the upper-class lifestyle of his extended relatives, he soon finds himself right at home as a loved part of the family.

About The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is an American television sitcom created by Andy and Susan Borowitz that aired on NBC from September 10, 1990, to May 20, 1996. The series stars Will Smith as a fictionalized version of himself, a street-smart teenager born and raised in West Philadelphia who is sent to live with his wealthy uncle and aunt in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, where his lifestyle often clashes with that of his upper-class relatives. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was a massive commercial success and a hit for NBC, running for 148 episodes over six seasons. Smith and James Avery were the only actors who appeared in every single episode. The series was Smith's star vehicle into television and film. The series is widely regarded as one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. A reunion special/retrospective reuniting the surviving cast debuted on HBO Max in November 2020. A more dramatic re-imagining of the series, titled Bel-Air and based on the fan film of the same name, received a two-season order for Peacock, and was released on February 13, 2022.
