Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Gritty Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot reveals first (real) trailer

Three years on and the show's star Will Smith has made it a reality - and the first real trailer has been revealed.

The title character still moves from west Philadelphia, where he was born and raised, to his aunt and uncle's luxury mansion in a wealthy LA suburb.

But the tone of the show has been flipped and turned upside down.

Instead of the breezy comedy of the 1990s original, the new show - simply titled Bel-Air - is deadly serious.

Will Smith has zero interest in a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reboot

"I don't think ever, like pretty close to when hell freezes over," Smith said about possibly rebooting his classic sitcom while promoting Suicide Squad with co-star Margot Robbie. "Like we're going to leave that one alone."

Rumors circulated a year ago that a reboot was in the works with Smith on board as a producer. However, some reports then indicated that the Smith project was an original sitcom possibly inspired by the Fresh Prince's fish-out-of-water storyline.
