Bel-Air season 1 may have only just ended but we’re already getting geared up for a second outing with Will, Carlton and the rest of the Banks family.

The dramatic reboot of beloved 90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was based on the viral trailer by Morgan Cooper, who also helped to develop the new series. It is executive produced by the original’s star, Will Smith.

The first season saw twists and turns galore, with Will left conflicted about his future at the end of the season finale, having stormed out of the house after a fiery confrontation with his absent father Lou.

But can we expect to see Bel-Air return to our screens, and if so, when? Read on for everything you need to know about Bel-Air season 2.

Will Bel-Air be back for season 2?

Yes! When the reboot was first commissioned it was given a two season deal, meaning that the show will definitely be coming back for at least one more outing. While the episode count hasn’t yet been confirmed, if it follows the first season’s length that will mean we can expect another 10 episodes.

Bel-Air season 2 release date speculation

We don’t yet have release date for Bel-Air season 2 – in fact, we haven’t had any updates on filming yet at all.

If it follows a similar release schedule to season 1 then we could expect the new season in February 2023, but that’s not yet confirmed.

When the series does return, it is likely to once again be released on Peacock, which is available to Sky and NOW subscribers at no additional cost. You can sign up for Sky TV here.
