"The Prince of Bel-Air" is an absolute cult series of the 90s.
Will Smith is now producing a new edition.
The first trailer shows that the remake will be very different.
Before Will Smith became an absolute Hollywood superstar, he was known as "The Prince of Bel-Air" * in the series of the same name.
In this country too, the show is one of the best-known and most popular productions of the 1990s.
The original had quite a few dramatic moments, but was primarily designed as a comedy.
After a fan produced their own trailer that showed what the series would look like as a pure drama, Will Smith came up with the idea of actually repeating it.
Now the first trailer is here.

The premise of "
Bel

" is the same: the focus is on Will, a smart but sassy teenager who was born and raised in West Philadelphia.
After getting into trouble at home, his mother sends him to the Los Angeles neighborhood that gives the film the title
to live with his wealthy aunt and uncle
.
The trailer gives a good first impression of the series that is much more serious than the original.
