Bel-Air season 4: Plot details and what to expect

The season 4 trailer opens with Will back home after his Season 3 kidnapping. It shows him diving into senior year thrills, parties, hoops and hangouts with Carlton while flashbacks to his Philly roots underscore the pull between worlds. 

Quick cuts reveal tense family dinners, Viv clutching a pregnancy test as Phil urges the boys toward life beyond Bel-Air, and Geoffrey shadowed by old enemies returning from London.

Hilary and Lamarcus strain over his health and their marriage, while Ashley throws punches in a high school brawl, signalling her bold break from the past. Snoop Dogg's cameo adds street cred to a scene with Will and Carlton.

Overall, the season strikes a balance between fun teen moments and heavy choices. Will weighs local dreams against far-off opportunities. Carlton fights to rebuild after his risky decisions threaten his college. Viv grapples with the impact of motherhood on her art career.

The Banks unite against external threats, blending humour from Jazz's antics with raw confrontations over class and loyalty.

Expect a tight pacing in the shorter run, featuring emotional payoffs, confessions, Carlton's redemption, and a family strengthened by scars. Subtle nods to the original sitcom weave in, honouring roots amid the drama.

Showrunner Carla Banks Waddles has hinted at satisfying answers to lingering questions, delivering a sendoff that feels earned.

Bel-Air Season 4 streams only on Peacock. The initial three episodes launched on November 24, 2025, at 12 a.m. PT. Peacock Premium provides ad-free access.
