You asked, he listened! First Bad Boys 2, and now this? BLESS UP.
According to an article published by The Hollywood Reporter, Will Smith is in talks to revive the quintessential 90’s sitcom.
Tis the season of remakes and reboots, so it was only a matter of time before this happened! Some were skeptical though, because Smith had said in the past that he’d only do a reboot “over his dead body” EVEN if his son Jaden was cast in the lead role.
Now Will’s camp has only JUST confirmed the news to THR, so there’s no word on anything like casting so don’t get too excited just yet! Will has been promoting Fresh Prince merch as of lately which looks pretty fire, honestly. Take a look at the tweets below for a little more info on the spinoff series!

NBC Productions was behind the series while Warner Bros. TV distributed it domestically. So, if the spinoff does move forward, expect it to land on Peacock most likely or HBO Max potentially.
