The dramatic revival of the ’90s comedy The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Bel-Air, premieres on Sunday, February 13. The ten-episode series reimagines the original’s comic premise and widens the story to incorporate Will’s genuine danger and the threat from West Philadelphia to Bel-Air, Los Angeles.
Will is a basketball phenom in the series and can play collegiate hoops. But, much as in the OG’s theme song, he becomes embroiled in a battle on a local court, which alters his life forever. Instead of finishing the season with his squad, he’s been sent to his aunt and uncle’s house across the country to a hideout.
It’s a dramatic circumstance, but Bel-Air is skilled at combining Will’s hazardous predicament with his humorous attitude and desire to shine no matter where he lives. The series is a coming-of-age drama that combines themes about the Banks’ political ambitions and the towns in which they live.
