The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is one of the most loved and nostalgic series of the 90’s. It launched Will Smith into superstardom as an actor. The show dealt with real issues of the time, and it had well-written and likeable characters. So it only makes sense that we’d be getting a reunion of the living cast members. HBO Max is bringing us all the Fresh Prince Reunion on November 19th. The show is an unscripted look at basically a conversation between the living cast members including: Will Smith, Tatyana Ali, Karyn Parsons, Joseph Marcell, Daphne Maxwell Reid and Alfonso Ribeiro as well as recurring co-star DJ Jazzy Jeff.
They’ll all be meeting up on the Banks house set for one more time in the special. I’m sure it’ll be an emotional moment when James Avery, who played Uncle Phil, is brought up. His presence will definitely be missed on the reunion.
You might be sitting there thinking, “well what about the original actress that played Aunt Viv on the show?” That question is also answered here. Will Smith did an interview with original actress Janet Hubert for this special. So you’ll be able to get her point-of-view on the show and her time on it.
So, we could be in store for a great reunion show that builds and adds to the cultural impact of the original show. Let’s hope that it’s a night of fun for all involved.
