Published at | Updated at
(LOS ANGELES) — “Yo, home to Bel Air”…again!
Will Smith may produce a reboot of his popular 1990s sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, TVLine.comreports.
The project, which is said to be in the very early stages of development, would put “a new spin on the fish-out-of-water tale while maintaining the spirit of Fresh Prince,” the website notes.
Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, would serve as executive producers of the project, which reportedly will be shopped around by Smith’s production company in the near future.
In the original series, Smith played a troublemaking teen sent from West Philadelphia by his mother to live with his rich aunt and uncle in Bel Air. It aired on NBC from 1990 to 1996.
Several 1990s series are already getting the revival treatment, including Full House, Twin Peaks, Coach and Xena: Warrior Princess.
