The young Philly actor leads the 'Fresh Prince' reboot for Peacock.
“Bel-Air” creator and director Morgan Cooper reimagined the series set in modern day through a short film he released on YouTube in 2019. The video, which was structured as a show trailer, went viral and caught the eye of Smith and other producers. Banks’ father alerted the actor to news of the reboot this past summer, and Banks’ agent sent him sides for the role of Will a few weeks later, kicking off several rounds of auditions.
“Bel-Air” started filming shortly after Banks was cast, and wrapped in late fall. Unlike the original series, which was a multicam sitcom, “Bel-Air” is a highly stylized drama, chaptered across one-hour episodes. But all of the familiar characters are back: Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian, preppy cousins Carlton, Ashley and Hilary — who’s set on becoming a social media chef — and loyal butler Geoffrey.
