Bel-Air Season 4: What's coming in the final chapter? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 27, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated June 27, 2025, 16:03 IST 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.

Post Office compensation still moving far too slowly, MPs warn
Plans to compensate subpostmasters wronged by the Horizon IT scandal are 'still moving far too slowly', a committee of MPs has said. The Department of Business and Trade (DBT) needs to 'outline what more it will do to ensure every affected postmaster' is aware of their options for redress, according to the public accounts committee. The government announced earlier this month that more than £1 billion has been paid out to subpostmasters across the Horizon-related schemes. Between 1999 and 2015, more than 900 subpostmasters were prosecuted after faulty Horizon accounting software made it look as though money was missing from their accounts. Many are still awaiting compensation. Committee chair Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown has described the scandal as 'one of the UK's worst ever miscarriages of justice' as 'thousands of people were failed deeply by the system'. Releasing the annual report into DBT and its accounts, Sir Geoffrey said: 'This Committee would have hoped to have found government laser-focused on ensuring all those eligible were fully and fairly compensated for what happened. 'It is deeply dissatisfactory to find these schemes still moving far too slowly, with no government plans to track down the majority of potential claimants who may not yet be aware of their proper entitlements.' According to the findings of the report released on Wednesday, DBT does not 'yet have clarity' on the number of claims that could be submitted under the Horizon Shortfall scheme, or the value of claims that could come forward under the convictions redress scheme. According to figures released by the DBT earlier in June, £559 million has been paid out to 6,337 claimants from the Horizon shortfall scheme. The data also says that of the 492 subpostmasters who joined Sir Alan Bates in taking the Post Office to court between 2017 and 2019 that have not been convicted, also known as the Group Litigation Order Scheme (GLO), 488 have received £167 million between them. Elsewhere, £245 million has been paid out to 463 subpostmasters who had their convictions quashed by legislation put in place last summer, and £68 million has been paid to those who have had their convictions quashed in the courts. A Department for Business and Trade spokesperson said: 'This report is based on a period from before last year's election. 'Since then, this Government has quadrupled the total amount paid to affected postmasters to provide them with full and fair redress, with more than £1 billion having now been paid to thousands of claimants. 'We will consider the recommendations and work with the Post Office, who have already written to over 24,000 postmasters, to ensure that everyone who may be eligible for redress is given the opportunity to apply for it.'

The committee have said that the department should 'outline what more it will do to ensure every affected postmaster is fully aware of their options for making a claim under the Horizon Shortfall and Horizon Convictions Redress Schemes'. They also say that officials should lay out how they plan to deal with remaining cases under the convictions scheme in particular. According to figures released by the DBT earlier in June, £559 million has been paid out to 6,337 claimants from the Horizon shortfall scheme.
