WILL SMITH PLANS TO REVIVE "THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR" THE TV SHOW THAT LAUNCHED HIS ACTING CAREER

Will Smith jump-started his acting career by starring on popular Nineties sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

And now, almost 20 years after the series went off the air in 1996, the 46-year-old is looking to capitalize on Hollywood's revival craze by rebooting the series.

According to TV Line, Will is currently developing a present-day reboot along with his production company, Overbrook.

The original series revolved around wise-cracking Philadelphia teen Will - played by Smith - being sent to live with his aunt and uncle - the sophisticated Banks family - in Bel-Air, California, and the misadventures that ensued when the differing personalities collided.

TV Line noted that according to multiple sources, the reboot would 'put a new spin on the fish-out-of-water tale while maintaining the spirit of the original series.'

The publication also reported that a pitch is currently being finalized, after which Overbrook will begin shopping it around.
