The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
WARNING : Spoilers forBel - Airseason 1 , episode 9 !
Bel - Air ’s set - up for the Banks family ’s future suggests a major fibre fromFresh Princewon’t exist in the reboot . In only the first 9 episodes , Bel - Airhas brought back plenty of characters fromFresh Princewho were n’t originally usher in until the show ’s recent seasons . WithLisa and Fred Wilkes , Will ’s father , Geoffrey ’s son , Judge Roberston , and even nods to Jackie being included inBel - Airseason 1 , it appears every spectacular design from the original series will return in the reboot , though possibly with one major elision .
With the new dramatisation ofFresh Prince ’s iconic characters , many figures have been excluded from the reboot or have had their situation comedy personality adjusted . idle words is no longer Will ’s goofy friend who incessantly tease Hilary , Aunt Viv is now a calling - orient artist , Geoffrey is a much more suave employee of Philip Banks , and Fred Wilkes has been set up asBel - Airseason 1 ’s main opponent . In exchange the trajectories of the core characters , Bel - Airhints that a figure fromFresh Prince ’s later season wo n’t appear in the novel show .

It seems thatBel - Air ’s future seasons will be miss Nicky Banks , the new child ofPhilip and Vivian Bankswho was accept at the very end ofFresh Princeseason 3 . While Nicky grew to become a fastness in the Banks home once he was quickly senior forFresh Princeseasons 5 and 6 , he ’s arguably the most disposable of the original independent fiber , which support the notion that he wo n’t exist in the dramaticBel - Airreboot . SinceBel - Airepisode 9 substantiate that Aunt Viv ’s art life history will be take the center stage for the Banks family after Uncle Phil degenerate out of his wash for District Attorney , it would seem unmatched for the series to elaborate the more career - oriented next ofBel - Air ’s Aunt Vivwith an unplanned pregnancy . This is n’t to say that she could n’t still be a raw parent and successful artist , but that introducing Nicky would complicate her ease of mind in plunge back into her calling , peculiarly sinceBel - Airalready established that the initial understanding for her 20 - year creative person hiatus was due to her home obligations .
Nicky Banks not existing inBel - Air ’s reboot still makes gumption for the bombastic painting , particularly because he was never even part ofFresh Prince ’s original plan . Nicky was only write intoFresh Princeonce the original Aunt Viv actress , Janet Hubert , became meaning in material life . Even though the original Aunt Viv would berecast in time of year 4 with actress Daphne Maxwell Reid , Fresh Princestill had to feature Hubert ’s pregnancy in season 3 , which signify rerouting the futurity of the show to admit the Banks ’ young child .
Nicky ’s quality clearly became a complicated topic forFresh Princeseasons 4 through 6 , as the youngest Banks child was an infant in season 4 until he was as if by magic aged into a kindergartener for the season 5 premiere . In an attempt to avoid dealing with the same narration difficulties , Bel - Airmay be writing Nicky out exclusively . Since Aunt Viv did n’t become meaning untilFresh Princeseason 3 , it ’s still potential that Bel - Air could write in Nicky for the future of the show , but change the circumstance of his role within the Banks kin . Perhaps Nicky is a young child that the Banks adopt into their nursing home , but it seems improbable thatBel - Air ’s innovative rebootwill repeat the route of Aunt Viv and Uncle Phil having an unexpected maternity .
