It looks like the Fresh Prince of Bel Air will be rebooted and be back on television screens with Will Smith as a producer.

According to TVLine, Smith’s production company, Overbrook Entertainment, is in the very early stages of developing a present-day Fresh Prince reboot that puts a new spin on the show while maintaining the spirit of the original series.

According to their sources, a pitch is being finalized now and Overbrook will begin shopping it around in the coming weeks. Will Smith would serve as an EP alongside his Overbrook producing partners James Lassiter, Caleeb Pinkett and Jada Pinkett-Smith.

The ’90s Fresh Prince — which launched then-rapper Smith’s acting career — ran for six seasons on NBC, before ending in 1996.

Usually I’m not for reboots, but this one might be exciting if it really comes back.
