It was reported back in 2015 that Will Smith was preparing a reboot of his hit 90’s show ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air‘ that would star a newer, younger “fresh prince” and keep the same premise of the original series.

Talks simmered down, but now it looks like the plans are moving forward and Will has confirmed the news in a recent interview.

Will and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smoth launched their own entertainment company Westbrook Inc. back in July and the multiple platform company was “designed to expand the Smith family brand beyond film and TV into new media, technology, and even merchandising.”

Westbrook will produce the new series according to Will’s recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter.

In addition to producing Smith-fronted film projects, Westbrook is developing a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air spinoff series (he still earns hefty royalties from the 1990s NBC sitcom, now licensed to air in 193 territories). And as the digital enterprise begins to monetize, it continues to enhance his global box office footprint, allowing his agents to negotiate for even bigger paydays (he is earning $12.5 million for Gemini Man and will land $20 million for playing the father of Serena and Venus Williams in Warner Bros.’ King Richard).

The original “Fresh Prince” ran for six seasons on NBC from 1990-1996. Are you ready for a ‘Fresh Prince’ reboot.
