The third season of “Bel-Air,” the contemporary reimagining of the iconic ’90s sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” is set to welcome new talent to its cast. According to Deadline, rapper-turned-actor Vic Mensa and Alycia Pascual-Peña are joining the ensemble, bringing fresh faces to the Peacock series. Mensa will portray Quentin, and Pascual-Peña will take on the role of Amira, both of whom are slated for recurring roles. While specific details about their characters’ impact on the storyline remain under wraps, their inclusion signals an exciting expansion of the series’ narrative.
“Bel-Air” has already established itself as one of Peacock’s flagship offerings, reinterpreting the beloved original with a modern twist and deeper exploration of its themes. The series boasts a talented cast including Jabari Banks, Adrian Holmes, Coco Jones, Akira Akbar, Jimmy Akingbola, Cassandra Freeman, Olly Sholotan, Jordan L. Jones, and Simone Joy Jones. Additionally, Justin Cornwell, Karrueche Tran, and Jovian Wade are confirmed to return in their recurring roles, further enriching the show’s dynamic storytelling.
The brainchild of Morgan Cooper, whose original viral trailer caught Will Smith’s attention and led to the series’ creation, “Bel-Air” benefits from the creative input of both Cooper and Smith as executive producers. Carla Banks Waddles serves as the showrunner and writer, guiding the series’ narrative direction. The executive production team also includes Terence Carter, James Lassiter, Miguel Melendez, and original sitcom producers Benny Medina, Quincy Jones, and Andy & Susan Borowitz, among others. Westbrook Studios and Universal Television are behind the production, ensuring a high-quality rendition of this beloved story.
