About The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Will, a street-smart teenager, transitions from the familiar streets of West Philly to the opulent Bel-Air lifestyle. His new home is with his Uncle Philip, a successful lawyer, and Aunt Vivian, a sophisticated professor. He also meets his cousins: the image-obsessed Hilary, the preppy and ambitious Carlton, and the inquisitive young Ashley. Rounding out the household is Geoffrey, their ever-observant and witty British butler. Despite the initial culture shock and clashes with his more privileged relatives, Will finds himself embraced by the family, becoming an integral part of their lives and, in turn, changing them for the better. This fish-out-of-water tale delivers laughs, and heartfelt moments, that explore themes of family, identity, and belonging.
