Peacock’s hit drama series “Bel-Air” is back for a sizzling summer with its third season, premiering August 15. The highly anticipated season kicks off with a bang, launching three new episodes on the same day, promising fans a thrilling start to the summer.
Showrunner, executive producer, and writer Carla Banks Waddles promises an exciting summer-themed season. “Season 3 is a summer season of ‘Bel-Air!'” she shares. “No school. No uniforms. Just summer sizzle. Pools, beach parties, bonfires, fireworks, Juneteenth celebrations, and lots of summer lovin’.”
The new season will delve into profound questions about self-discovery and family dynamics. It will explore themes like proving oneself in a world with limited views, stepping out of comfort zones to create new opportunities, and rebuilding broken trust within the family. Additionally, the show will tackle significant social issues such as the gentrification of South LA, woven into the backdrop of the season’s narrative.
Morgan Cooper, the executive producer and director, emphasizes the vibrant and immersive experience this season offers. “Everything has a little more kick to it this season; the colors are more vibrant, the sound is elevated, the cinematography is more immersive,” Cooper notes. “In season 3, Will’s ready to level up his way, even if it means going against the grain of what’s expected.”
“Bel-Air” reimagines the beloved 1990s sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” as a modern-day drama. It follows Will’s journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the luxurious mansions of Bel-Air. In Season 3, with school out for the summer, Will explores new opportunities and enjoys the perks of being part of the Banks family. However, his partnership with Carlton reveals their differing backgrounds and worldviews, posing new challenges.
The season will also highlight the Banks family’s evolving dynamics, including Viv and Phil’s marital struggles, Hilary’s romantic hurdles, Ashley’s coming-of-age experiences, and Geoffrey’s past catching up with him.
The series features an ensemble cast with Jabari Banks as Will, Adrian Holmes as Phillip Banks, Cassandra Freeman as Vivian Banks, Olly Sholotan as Carlton Banks, Coco Jones as Hilary Banks, Akira Akbar as Ashley Banks, Jimmy Akingbola as Geoffrey, Jordan L. Jones as Jazz, and Simone Joy Jones as Lisa.
