HuffPost
Jabari Banks will make his television debut in "Bel-Air," a dramatic retelling of the classic sitcom that catapulted Smith to stardom in the 1990s.
Bel-Air’s new “prince” has officially been crowned. Peacock last year announced plans for a reimagined take on the beloved sitcom “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” which catapulted Will Smith to stardom in the 1990s. The new version will be titled simply “Bel-Air” and, according to People and other outlets, will be a drama series that maintains the premise of the original while highlighting “the plight of Black men in America today.” On Tuesday, Smith virtually broke the news to actor Jabari Banks that he had landed the role of Will, the streetwise Philadelphia teen who relocates to Bel-Air, a wealthy neighborhood in Los Angeles, to live with his wealthy aunt and uncle in their mansion.More Related News
