The Banks family is back and so is the drama. Peacock’s Bel-Air returns for its highly anticipated fourth season, pushing its beloved characters into uncharted emotional territory while keeping its signature mix of authenticity, ambition, and style.

This season finds Will (Jabari Banks) navigating the exhilaration and pressure of senior year a moment filled with both opportunity and uncertainty. Carlton (Olly Sholotan), still reeling from major choices that could alter his future, must find his footing again. Their friendship, tested and transformed through past struggles, becomes a lifeline as both young men face pivotal crossroads.

Meanwhile, the adults of the Banks household aren’t spared from change. Phil (Adrian Holmes) and Geoffrey (Jimmy Akingbola) face an unexpected power shift that tests their loyalty to one another and to the family they’ve helped shape. Viv (Cassandra Freeman) is redefining herself and motherhood with new eyes, while Hilary (Coco Jones) embarks on a path of self-discovery and independence. Even Ashley (Akira Akbar) isn’t immune to growing pains, navigating her first year of high school with a newfound rebellious streak.

Inspired by Morgan Cooper’s viral short film that reimagined The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as a modern drama, Bel-Air continues to evolve under showrunner Carla Banks Waddles. The series, produced by Universal Television and Westbrook Studios, dives deeper into class, identity, and the price of belonging all through the lens of Black excellence and resilience.
