Bel-Air Season 4: Release Date, Cast, Trailer, & Everything You Need to Know

Warning: major spoilers for Bel-Air season 3 below.

Bel-Air season 4 is officially on the way — and it will be the last time we see the Banks family. After a season 3 finale that delivered multiple shocking cliffhangers, fans are eager to hear word from Peacock on whether Bel-Air will return for season 4, and we have finally gotten an answer: Bel-Air is coming back for a fourth season, and it will be the final one.

ICYMI: Bel-Air is a reimagining of the beloved ‘90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which starred Will Smith as a fictionalized version of himself. While Fresh Prince was a half-hour family sitcom, Bel-Air is an hour-long drama.

The dramatic concept of the series is a result of filmmaker and Fresh Prince fan Morgan Cooper’s question of what the seminal sitcom would look like if it were made today. In 2019, Cooper created his answer: a four-minute short film titled Bel-Air that depicted all the characters we know and love in dramatic setting with darker conflict. After the short film-slash-trailer went viral, it caught the eye of Will Smith — and the rest is pretty much history.

“Working with partners that have been so supportive of that vision while bringing their own sensibilities and talent to the project, we were able to create something that we were ultimately all really proud of,” Cooper said to Teen Vogue back in 2022 of the show’s creative journey. “This show came from a place of passion and wanting to make something meaningful to the culture. It’s been quite a journey, but I wouldn’t change anything about it.”

The third season of Bel-Air concluded in August 2024 and left audiences screaming at their screens — fans knew this cannot be where Will and the Banks family’s stories end. Below, we’ve compiled a guide of everything you need to know about Bel-Air season 4, including new and returning cast, a potential release date, any photos or trailers, and, of course, plot details.

**Has Bel-Air season 4 started filming?**

The TikTok is geotagged in Los Angeles, California (where the show films) and near the very end of the nine-second clip, you can see Akira Akbar, who plays Ashley, peeking into the frame, clearly amused at her two fictional siblings. The comment section is, expectedly, filled with fans demanding a release date for Bel-Air season 4 — but if they know like we know, patience is key, as it seems that production has just begun.
