Summary
- Hubert to play wise woman who helps Hilary
- Chikenzie to portray leader of Geoffrey's former London gang
- Bel-Air features cameos from Fresh Prince stars
As Bel-Air prepares to launch its fourth season, the dramatic reboot of the classic 90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is set to welcome two new faces to its ensemble cast. Veteran actress Hubert will be joining the show, portraying a wise woman whom Hilary (Coco Jones) meets and who becomes instrumental to the Banks family.
Meanwhile, Chikenzie will be taking on the role of Dominique Warren, the leader of Geoffrey's (Jimmy Akingbola) former London gang, who is also like a sister to him. Interestingly, Chikenzie's real-life husband, Adrian Holmes, who plays Bel-Air's Uncle Phil, is also a London native.
In addition to these new cast members, Bel-Air has also featured surprise cameos from several original Fresh Prince stars. These include Daphne Maxwell Reid, who played Aunt Viv #2 in the original series and portrayed Helen in Season 1, Episode 9 of Bel-Air, and Vernee Watson-Johnson, who played Will's mom Vy Smith and appeared as Janice in the same episode. Tatyana Ali, who originally played Ashley Banks, also made a guest appearance as a middle school teacher, Mrs. Hughes, in Season 2.
As the series continues to explore the complex journey of Will (Jabari Banks) from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air, Season 4 promises to be a captivating continuation of the dramatic reimagining of this beloved story.
