Cassandra Freeman as “Vivian Banks” ( The Enemy Within, Atlanta).Adrian Holmes as “Phillip Banks” ( At That Age, V Wars).In addition to acting, Jabari is an accomplished songwriter, singer, rapper, and basketball player. He graduated from University of the Arts in Philly in 2020. With a reimagined vision, Bel-Air will dive deeper into the inherent conflicts, emotions and biases that were impossible to fully explore in a 30-minute sitcom format, while still delivering swagger and nods to the original show. Set in modern-day America, Bel-Air is a serialized one-hour dramatic analogue of the 90’s sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” that leans into the original premise: Will’s complicated journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air.Filming Location: Los Angeles, CA and Philadelphia, PA.Produced By: Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Westbrook Studios, a division of Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith’s media company Westbrook Inc.Executive Producers: Will Smith, Terence Carter, James Lassiter, Miguel Melendez, Malcolm Spellman, Quincy Jones, Benny Medina, and Andy & Susan Borowitz.Director / Co-Writer / Executive Producer: Morgan Cooper.Co-Showrunners / Executive Producers: T.J.I think that with Bel-Air we have created something unique and honest. Everything can be inspiration, and having a two-season order gives us the opportunity to go infinitely deeper narratively, visually, and aesthetically. I’m inspired by a lot of things as a director it could be a random conversation, memories from my past, it could be art, music, fashion.

“My approach to the series started with a deep focus on tone and really being intentional with my creative choices. At its core, Bel-Air is a celebration of the black experience through the perspective of a family. We’re able to go have tough conversations that challenge perspectives. Because Bel-Air is a drama, we’re able to really peel back the layers of these characters and themes in a way that you simply couldn’t do 30 years ago in the half-hour sitcom format. “With this dramatic reimagining, we wanted to create a show that stands on its own while honoring the spirit and innovation of the original series. Morgan Cooper, Director, Co-Writer, Executive Producer Our creative team, including Will Smith, recognized that Jabari embodied the talent, charisma, and sheer swagger necessary to make this iconic role his own.” “During the development of Bel-Air, the most daunting question was: Could we find a young actor who’d be able to step into the role of Will Smith? Well, did we ever find him. His name is Jabari Banks and he won our hearts in the same way he won this role.

The series was the fabric of so many of our upbringings, tied to memories and the joy of seeing ourselves represented on TV so it is important to us to pay respect to its legacy.” It’s been incredible to bring these iconic characters to life when you tap them into the cultural pulse of our time. We have stayed true to the original premise of the legacy series – Will’s life is turned upside down after he is forced to leave West Philly and lands in Bel-Air with its gated mansions and wealth, however, our new series brings Will and the Banks family into the world as we know it now. “At its heart, Bel-Air is a coming-of-age story that celebrates the strength and love of the Black family. Brady and Rasheed Newson, Executive Producers and Co-Showrunners All of which makes for a waste of perfectly fine production design.T.J. But at the same time, you don't have to travel half way across the galaxy to find an emotionally remote father. Kitai really needs to prove himself to his father. And that big alien thingie they were giving a ride to might still be alive and waiting for Kitai out there.Įven if 'The 100' had not cornered the market on post-apocalyptic generational and parental issues, there would still be little reason to recommend 'After Earth.' That's how heavily contrived and predictable it is. That becomes increasingly necessary considering Cypher suffered a compound fracture in the crash which even 30th century medicine has no quick fix for.

To make matters worse, the emergency beacon is in the other half of the spaceship, several days hike across a hazardous planet full of things that want to eat them. When the spaceship carrying Kitai(Jaden Smith) and his father Cypher(Will Smith) crashes, they are the only survivors.
