Hilary Banks Gets Peacock Spinoff Series
25 Aug
Summary
- Bel-Air's Hilary Banks to get a spinoff series on Peacock.
- Coco Jones will star as Hilary Banks in the new show.
- Tracy Oliver is writing the new series, Hilary.
Peacock is developing a spinoff series, Hilary, focusing on the character of Hilary Banks. Coco Jones, who portrays Hilary on the breakout hit Bel-Air, is slated to star in the potential new series. Tracy Oliver, known for "Girls Trip" and "Harlem," is penning the script.
The series will follow Hilary Banks as she impulsively relocates to New York after accepting an unexpected job offer. Her goal is to establish herself independently, but she soon discovers that achieving success, friendship, and love in the city comes at an unforeseen price.
This premise offers Hilary a fresh narrative direction, diverging from the Bel-Air series finale where she returned to Los Angeles to launch her own cafe. The spinoff's setup echoes the finale of the original "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," where Hilary also moved to New York.
Bel-Air, which concluded its four-season run in December, is a modern reimagining of the classic 1990s sitcom. Jones, in addition to her role on Bel-Air, has appeared in "Vampires vs. the Bronx" and "Strung," with the romantic comedy "That's Her" upcoming. As a musical artist, her debut album "Why Not More?" earned a Grammy nomination.
