Bel-Air , the dramatic reimagining of the iconic '90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air , is set to conclude with its fourth and final season on Peacock. Since its debut in 2022, the series has captivated audiences with its modern take on Will's journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the luxurious gated mansions of Bel-Air. With season 3 leaving fans on the edge of their seats with shocking cliffhangers, anticipation for the final chapter is at an all-time high. Here's everything we know about Bel-Air Season 4. Bel-Air Season 4 Potential Release Date
Peacock confirmed Season 4 on December 3, 2024, just months after Season 3 ended on September 5. Past seasons stuck to a yearly rhythm—February 2022, February 2023, August 2024—but production details hint at a wait. Cassandra Freeman (Vivian Banks) mentioned in February 2025 that filming starts late spring 2025. With post-production time, expect a premiere in early 2026, though some hope for late 2025 if things move fast. Bel-Air Season 4 Expected Cast
The heart of Bel-Air lies with its cast, and most key players should return to finish their arcs. Based on the renewal announcement and reports, here's who's expected: Jabari Banks as Will, navigating Bel-Air's elite world from his Philly roots.
Adrian Holmes as Philip Banks, the lawyer keeping the family steady.
Cassandra Freeman as Vivian Banks, facing new family challenges.
Olly Sholotan as Carlton Banks, rebuilding after personal struggles.
Coco Jones as Hilary Banks, caught in a messy love life.
Akira Akbar as Ashley Banks, growing up fast as a teen.
Jimmy Akingbola as Geoffrey Thompson, the manager with a dark past.
Jordan L. Jones as Jazz, Will's loyal friend eyeing Hilary.
Simone Joy Jones as Lisa Wilkes, Will's complicated love interest.
Recurring faces likely to show up include: Karrueche Tran as Ivy, Hilary's pal.
Marlon Wayans as Lou, Will's dad who shook things up.
April Parker Jones as Vy, Will's mom.
Dulé Hill as Omar Campbell, a Season 3 standout.
Alycia Pascual-Peña as Amira, Carlton's new flame.
Vic Mensa as Quentin, the slick mogul.
Jazlyn Martin as Jackie, Will's ex.
Season 3 introduced folks like Joseph Marcell as Roman, and past Fresh Prince stars like Tatyana Ali have popped in. More cameos might happen, but Will Smith's sticking to his executive producer role, not the screen. Bel-Air Season 4 Potential Plot
Season 3's finale was a rollercoaster, setting up a ton for Season 4. The show dives deep into race, class, and family ties, and here's what's likely to unfold: Will's Kidnapping and Geoffrey's Secrets
Will getting nabbed in the finale screamed trouble, probably linked to Geoffrey's shady London past. After ditching the Banks family to protect them, Geoffrey's likely coming back to save Will. Expect some intense moments as their bond gets tested, with themes of loyalty and redemption front and center. Vivian's Pregnancy Twist
Vivian's surprise pregnancy, a nod to The Fresh Prince , throws a wrench into her and Phil's rocky marriage. This could spark tension over her career dreams versus family life, adding layers to their story as they navigate trust and change. Hilary's Heartbreak
Hilary's wedding to LaMarcus was all vibes until he collapsed on their honeymoon. If he doesn't pull through, her feelings for Jazz could bubble up, stirring a love triangle. Their chemistry's been a fan favorite, so this arc's bound to hit hard. Carlton's Comeback
Carlton's been clawing his way back from addiction and bad choices. His tighter bond with Will and new romance with Amira suggest growth. Maybe they'll push their business hustle forward, showing how far they've come. Ashley's Journey
Ashley's stepping into her teens, exploring romance with Eli and finding her voice. Her story should bring a fresh angle as she carves out her place in the family.

How Are ‘Squid Game' Season 3's VIPs Still This Awful?
Squid Game I am currently halfway through season 3 of Squid Game, which was released yesterday and is (maybe) the final run of the series. I think it's quite good so far, and episode 2 in particular is easily one of the best of the entire show. However, by episode 3, you run into an old, hard-to-believe problem: the arrival of the VIPs in their gold animal masks that have the absolute worst dialogue and delivery of the entire series. It's to the point where it's so jarring it takes you out of the entire episode, which is filled with compelling performances from its Korean cast. Spoilers follow. The question is…how did this happen again? After the VIPs were lambasted in the wake of season 1, how did they get this group of villains so wrong yet again? This time, there's an American, a Brit or two and possibly a woman from Japan. The difference this time is that they got to 'participate' in the second game by being part of the clean-up crew that goes around shooting players who failed the game. The dialogue is horrific. It's not just the writing, which is, in fact, terrible; it's the delivery and the fact that this is English dialogue that somehow sounds like it's dubbed over itself to make it sound like someone recording separately from a sound booth. Which, for whatever reason, is probably what happened. Squid Game These are the exact same complaints about the season 1 VIPs, and while there is some speculation this is done on purpose to be campy like past genre films, that does not seem to be the case. There was actually an interview done with one of the actors who explained why this was so weird and bad. This is from the Guardian and ran shortly after season 1 was released: 'It's different for every show, but non-Korean performers often act with dialogue that is translated by a non-native – sometimes even by Google Translate – so it can sound unnatural,' he says. 'Often we don't have the scripts for the rest of the show,' he adds. 'We are only given our scenes, so we have no idea of the tone.' 'We were all wearing very heavy plaster masks, and sitting on couches that were at least 20-30ft away from the closest VIP. We all had to yell our lines vaguely into the air, which added to the weird tonality of the delivery.' That sounds like exactly what's still happening, right down to the distance between the VIPs, and it's impossible to imagine there was no way to fix this from season 1. The explanations are that they did it on purpose and left it this bad despite the blowback, or they simply screwed up again and did not learn their lesson. Again, the rest of the show is great so far, but once again, the VIPs are the low point and so bad they make the rest of the episodes worse. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram.

How Love Island USA Host Ariana Madix Was ‘Inspired By' UK Host Maya Jama
When Vanderpump Rules alum Ariana Madix announced on the show how much she loved Love Island USA, the stars aligned. Later, Ariana signed on to host Season 6 of the series about sexy singles looking for a connection. Of course, Ariana brought new eyeballs to the Peacock series, and the ratings soared. And it seems like Season 7 of Love Island USA has even more heat and more controversy. Now, Ariana is opening up about why Maya Jama, the host of Love Island UK, caused her to up her game. As a host, Ariana brings some humor and playfulness to her role. So, who did she model her Love Island persona after? 'I'm a big fan of so many of the women who have hosted the show in the different countries, and in the U.S.,' Ariana told Variety. 'I think that no matter what, if you try to do what someone else is doing or has done, it won't work. I wanted to really bring myself to it.' She added, 'So whatever that is – being a little bit more on the sexy side, and trying to bring a level of confidence … if I'm not feeling it in the moment, you fake it until you make it. And of course, humor.' Plus, Ariana wanted to showcase some amazing fashion, and she slays. 'And I knew I really wanted to bring some amazing looks, and that was something that was also inspired by other hosts around the world,' the Pump Rules alum explained. 'Because when Maya Jama is walking into that U.K. villa, she is sex on a stick.' I think that Ariana also deserves a shout-out for reacting to the backlash against some of the Love Island cast members. 'Don't be contacting people's families, don't be doxxing people,' Ariana stated on Aftersun, 'don't be going on islander's pages and saying rude things.' She added, 'This is an amazing, fun, and beautiful show, and we should be thanking each of these islanders every day for giving us themselves, so be nice.' Love Island USA is available to stream on Peacock. New episodes drop every day except Wednesdays. TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ARIANA AS A HOST ON LOVE ISLAND USA?
