Bel-Air Producers Say The Show Won't Feature The Iconic Carlton Dance
Peacock's dramatic Bel-Air reboot will not be featuring the iconic Carlton Dance. The show is a reinterpretation of the classic NBC sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which aired for 6 seasons from 1990 to 1996. In 2019, filmmaker Morgan Cooper made a fan film imagining a gritty, realistic version of the series that caught the attention of star Will Smith himself. Smith teamed up with Cooper to grow the short into an entire series, which will begin streaming its first episode on Peacock tomorrow, Super Bowl Sunday. Although it features a much darker tone than its source material, Bel-Airfollows the same general plot as Fresh Prince, in which a young Will Smith gets sent from West Philadelphia to live with wealthy relatives in California after being involved in a fight on a playground.
