As a huge fan of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and now “Bel-Air,” I can’t contain my excitement for the upcoming third season! The latest trailer has given us a tantalizing glimpse into the return of a beloved character from the original show, Joseph Marcell, who will be playing a mysterious role in the new series.
In simple terms, the popular Bel-Air series will be back on Peacock starting August for its third season. A new trailer has been released, announcing the return of yet another beloved character from the original Fresh Prince of Bel-Air show. Originally inspired by Will Smith’s sitcom that aired from 1990 to 1996, Bel-Air is a modern retelling with a dramatic twist, created by Morgan Cooper based on his 2019 short film. Peacock acquired the rights in 2020 and premiered the new adaptation in 2022.
Previously notable actors from the initial show have joined the cast of “Bel-Air” on Peacock, including Tatyana Ali, Daphne Maxwell Reid, and Vernee Watson-Johnson. They each assume fresh roles in the series. Intriguingly, a new trailer for Season 3 reveals that Joseph Marcell will make an appearance in this season, playing the enigmatic role of a figure from the Banks family history.
Marcell depicted the role of Geoffrey Butler in the beloved sitcom, playing a reserved, British character who wasn’t shy about letting loose when necessary. Although Marcell’s specific part in the upcoming season is still unclear, in the newly released trailer, he can be heard threateningly telling someone out of frame, “A price will always have to be paid. That’s your responsibility.” Take a look at the Season 3 preview for Bel-Air below.
Bel-Air Is a Huge Hit for Peacock
When Bel-Air premiered in 2022, few would have guessed that this fresh take on a classic comedy series would achieve such unprecedented success. However, against all odds, Bel-Air set new records on Peacock, becoming the most-watched original series up to that time. Although Season 1 earned a decent 65% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, Season 2 left everyone in awe with its impressive 90% score.
Initially planned for only two seasons, the show’s impressive performance resulted in Bel-Air‘s continuation in March 2023, marking its third season and a successful addition to Peacock’s lineup. Leveraging nostalgia, Bel-Air explores heavier themes like racial prejudice and social class through its heartfelt adaptation of the classic fish out of water tale. Jabari Banks portrays Will Smith’s character as he navigates the stark contrast between growing up in the rough streets of Philadelphia and adapting to the privileged life in Beverly Hills, all while trying to restore his personal circumstances.
In the latest season of “Bel-Air,” Joseph Marcell joins Tatyana Ali, Daphne Maxwell Reid, and Vernee Watson-Johnson as returning cast members from the original show. However, a few more familiar faces are yet to make an appearance. Among them are Janet Hubert, who originally played Aunt Viv, Alfonso Riberiro as Carlton Banks, Karyn Parsons as Hilary Banks, Ross Bagley as young Nicky Banks, and of course, Will Smith as the Fresh Prince himself.
It’s unclear if any of the original cast members from the hit comedy will appear in Bel-Air, but if the show maintains its success on Peacock and additional seasons are commissioned, there’s a strong possibility they may make an appearance at some point in the future.
Bel-Air
is available to stream on Peacock, with Season 3 premiering August 15, 2024.
