First thing first Rest in Peace Uncle Phil. NBC sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” officially announced Friday that a much-anticipated cast reunion will air Nov. 19 on HBO Max. The get-together will mark the 30th anniversary of the series, which premiered in 1990 and ran for six seasons and 148 episodes. The reunited Banks family will include cast members Tatyana Ali (who played Ashley), Karyn Parsons (Hilary), Joseph Marcell (Geoffrey), Daphne Maxwell Reid (who replaced Hubert as Aunt Viv), Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton) and DJ Jazzy Jeff (Jazz). The heartfelt 2 minute trailer featured how each actor felt workign together and Will Smith even said no one asled him if he could act and was just known as a rapper. It then brings up the actor who played uncle Phil, James Avery, who is described as the heart in the show. So your question may be ” So, what about the first Aunt Viv” and this reunion will indeed include a shocking sit-down with cast member Janet Hubert, who played Aunt Viv for the first three seasons. The reunion isn’t the only “Fresh Prince” revival in the works: Smith has also committed to executive produce a dramatic reboot of the show.
