Bel-Air, the modern, re-imagined version of Will Smith’s The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, is not just that. The series follows Will Smith’s journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the mansions of Bel-Air and delves into the real-life issues of racial tension, culture shock, and black excellence. Starring new talent and exemplary fashion, Bel-Air is a remake that is a worthy tribute to the original and the most streamed original series on Peacock.
Episode 6 of Bel-Air Season 2 has just released on March 30, 2023. And in a very unexpected yet highly welcome move, Peacock has made a decision that will have you all over the moon. Bel-Air is going to be back again for another season!
Amid Season 2 of Bel-Air, Peacock has announced a renewal of the series. The show shall run for a third season, and most of the cast will likely return around February 2024. The release date, plot outline, and cast have yet to be officially announced.
1. Has Bel-Air Season 3 been officially announced?
To much delight of the viewers, Bel-Air Season 3 was announced by Peacock on March 17, 2023. It was made official through their Twitter account with a video of the cast holding up the number three.
Bel-Air will be back for another season, and though it was highly likely due to whopping viewership and streaming, it is now official. Bel-Air fans everywhere can rejoice with certainty now! Hurray!
The series was picked up by Peacock for two seasons initially but now has been renewed for a third season, indicating the streaming service’s confidence in its most-watched original premiere and most-watched sophomore series.
The announcement of Season 3 is a major surprise for the Bel-Air fandom (I still can’t get over it!) in the midst of Season 2. With a slideshow of the cast holding up three fingers to indicate Season 3 in Peacock’s Twitter post, we can hope for their return too in the new season.
2. When will Bel-Air Season 3 release?
There is no official announcement yet regarding the release date of Bel-Air Season 3. However, the new season is expected to release in February 2024 or at least spring 2024. Peacock is expected to announce the release date soon.
Season 1 of Bel-Air was released in February 2022, and Season 2 in February 2023. And if Peacock plans to keep up this trend, Season 3 will release in February 2024. The chances of the OTT platform maintaining this constancy are very high. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed for a February release!
3. Will the cast of Bel-Air return for Season 3?
Peacock has yet to officially announce or hint at the cast of Bel-Air Season 3. Though Season 2 is still progressing, we can expect Jabari Banks, Olly Sholotan, Coco Jones, Akira Akbar, and much of the wonderful main cast to return.
As we have only completed half of Season 2 and with much of the storyline remaining, it is difficult to say with surety about the cast of Season 3. However, as we don’t expect the plot of Season 3 to veer so differently from the previous seasons, our favorite main cast will probably be back.
Jabari Banks (as Will Smith), Olly Sholotan (as Carlton Banks), Coco Jones (as Hilary Banks), Akira Akbar (as Ashley Banks), Adrian Holmes (as Phillip Banks), Cassandra Freeman (as Vivian Banks), Jordan L. Jones (as Jazz), Jimmy Akingbola (as Geoffrey), and Simone Joy ( as Lisa Wilkes) are expected to be back on our screens for Season 3.
April Parker Jones and Marlon Wayans could also be back as Will’s parents, as the family has a much-unsaid story. Brooklyn McLinn as AAU Coach Doc Hightower, Jazlyn Martin as Jackie, and Riele Downs as Yazmin from Season 2 can also be expected to return.
4. What is the plot for Bel-Air Season 3?
Peacock has not yet teased the plot of Bel-Air Season 3. Amid Season 2, it isn’t easy to guess the storyline of Season 3. However, we can expect the new season to go deeper into Will, his family, Carlton, Viv and Phil, Hilary, and Jazz and their relationships.
Season 2 saw a straight-away continuation of Season 1, with the truth of Will’s father’s absence being revealed and the Banks family dealing with their grief. Will is figuring out his identity, life, and emotions and trying to figure out who is worthy of his trust.
Will and Carlton are closer than ever, and Lisa and Will seem to be on the path of reconciliation. Hilary is reaching even greater heights, Jazz is utilizing his vulnerability, and Ashley is figuring out her identity. Aunt Viv and Uncle Phil are trying to figure out a work-life balance to keep their marriage intact.
A lot is happening in Season 2 of Bel-Air, and the plot could go anywhere. Thus, Season 3 could be delving in any direction, and we will have to wait to learn more about the plot of Season 3. Stay tuned!
