Complete cast breakdown of Bel-Air Season 4: Who plays Who & where you’ve seen them before

Bel-Air's season 4, the final season of Peacock’s dramatic reimagining of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, will premiere on November 24, 2025. It offers a darker and more grounded take on the iconic 1990s sitcom. Inspired by Morgan Cooper’s 2019 fan film, the series follows Will, played by Jabari Banks, as he leaves the dangerous streets of West Philadelphia to live with his affluent family in Bel-Air. 

While the original show approached themes of race, privilege, and class with humor, Bel-Air addresses these same issues through a serious, character-driven lens. Premiering in 2022, it became one of Peacock’s earliest originals and the first to secure an additional season order. 

With several major storylines still unresolved, the concluding season aims to offer a cohesive and satisfying ending. Unlike its sitcom predecessor, which spanned many years, Bel-Air has been structured as a tightly woven, four-season drama, allowing it to conclude its story with clarity and intention.

Bel-Air’s fourth and final season will feature eight hour-long episodes. Viewers and critics have praised the project, providing an 85% “fresh” critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
