Bel-Air, the modern and dramatic reinterpretation of the beloved 1990s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, is gearing up for its fourth and concluding season on Peacock. Since premiering in 2022, the show has drawn attention for its raw and more realistic portrayal of Will’s transition from the streets of West Philadelphia to the upscale world of Bel-Air. With Season 3 leaving fans on edge with shocking cliffhangers, anticipation for Season 4 is at an all-time high. Here’s everything we know so far about Bel-Air Season 4, including release date speculation, cast details, and plot insights.
Bel-Air Season 4 Release Date Speculation
As of May 2025, Peacock has not announced an official release date for Bel-Air Season 4. However, based on the show’s production history and recent updates, we can make an educated guess.
Actress Cassandra Freeman, who plays Vivian Banks, revealed in a February 2025 interview that production for Season 4 is expected to begin “in a few months.” Given the time required for filming and post-production, a 2026 release seems more likely than 2025. Historically, Bel-Air seasons have premiered within six to nine months of filming, so if production starts by mid-2025, a late summer or early fall 2026 premiere is plausible.
Bel-Air Season 4 Cast: Who’s Returning?
The Bel-Air Season 4 cast is expected to feature the return of the core ensemble, ensuring a proper send-off for the Banks family and their extended circle. Based on the Season 4 renewal announcement and the video released by Peacock, the following main cast members are expected to return:
