September 10, 1990. Thirty years ago the very first episode of the sitcom was released The fresh prince of Bel-Air on antenna. A very young Will Smith shone in it as a school-going riot from West Philadelphia – born and raised – who was sent by his mother to his Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian in fashionable Bel-Air. The target? Keeping the impulsive Will out of trouble and teaching some life wisdom. Thirty years later, Smith has rallied the cast for a reunion episode.
“A month ago I posted a photo with the entire cast of The fresh prince of Bel-Air”He says in the trailer. “But you can’t be ready for this trailer. Happy Thanksgiving! ” The trailer shows that the entire cast with Smith, Karyn Parsons (Hilary), Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton), Tatyana Ali (Ashley), Joseph Marcell (Geoffrey), Jazz (DJ Jazzy Jeff) and Daphne Reid (Aunt Vivian) on the sofa. They are talking about the greatest moments in the series. “I didn’t realize how many people we were going to reach,” says Parsons. And it also pays attention to James Avery, who died in 2013 at the age of 68. The actor played Uncle Philip Banks. A somewhat stout man who often bellowed at Will when he’d hung out again, but had tremendous affection for the boy. “James was this Shakesperian beast and I wish he thought I was right,” Smith says of his TV uncle.
The biggest surprise comes when Janet Hubert-Whitten enters the scene. She played the role of Aunt Vivian for three seasons, but left after an argument with Smith. She later called him an “asshole” in interviews and ruled out a reunion. In the process, both Smith and Hubert-Whitten backed down on that front. After an emotional chat, she still boarded the reunion. The episode will be released on HBO Max on November 19. With us, the sitcom can be seen on Netflix. Whether the episode will also appear on the platform is not clear.
