West Philly's Jabari Banks will play Will in the dramatic reboot of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," Peacock announced Tuesday.
The show, titled "Bel-Air," will reimagine Will's journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated neighborhood of Bel-Air in California. The show will be updated from the '90s sitcom to a gritty TV drama.
The actor currently lives in West Philadelphia heard he was taking over the role during a video call from Will Smith himself!
