Bel-Air season 3: Release date, trailer and latest news
The third season of the Peacock original drama is almost here.
It's almost time for the third season of Bel-Air to land on our screens, as it's set for its US release this week.
It was just a few weeks ago that we got a glimpse at the new instalment of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air spin-off with a glossy trailer, which teased plenty of exciting plotlines to come – as well as the appearance of Joseph Marcell's Geoffrey.
Marcell, of course, starred in the original series as the beloved Butler, and looks to be reprising his role in the spin-off - but in what capacity, we'll just have to wait and see.
The new season will see Will (Jabari Banks) doing summer his own way and finding partnership with Carlton (Olly Sholotan), but with the two being quite the opposite, just how will things pan out for them?
With that, read on for everything you need to know about Bel-Air season 3.

What will Bel-Air season 3 be about?
Things are set to get a whole lot more interesting, as this third season will see Will "doing Bel-Air his way" after breaking up from school for the summer.
The official synopsis for season 3 reads: "Being a part of the Banks family has given him a new perspective — it isn’t just about wealth, it means that Will now has options to lean into other things that excite him and has the privilege to dream bigger.
"As Will makes an exciting pivot, he finds a partner in Carlton, who desperately wants to leave his life of addiction behind and rebuild his damaged reputation.
"And while the dynamic duo has a lot of exciting wins, working together also reveals fundamental differences in their backgrounds and worldviews. Can a partnership of such extremes work?
"Pressure at work and home will also pose challenges for Viv and Phil. How does a couple hold strong when their lives are at sea?
"Hilary’s romantic journey with LaMarcus will face some shocking hurdles, and Ashley’s views on romance will start to blossom as she comes of age the summer before she starts high school, and Geoffrey’s London past will come a little too close to home."
