Will Smith is working on a "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" reboot.  This time, instead of the series being a comedy, he plans to make it a drama.  The idea came from Morgan Cooper who created and directed a viral video on his Youtube in March 2019 that presented the show taking place as a drama in modern times.  Cooper will be an executive producer on the show and is also expected to co-write the script with Chris Collins.
