Will Smith has dropped the first trailer for the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” reunion special. The trailer features the cast reminiscing about the iconic sitcom 30 years later.

The 52-year-old Men in Black star shared the video via YouTube on Friday, 13th November.

“You’ve probably seen the picture. I posted it a month ago, me with the whole Fresh Prince cast. But you’re not ready for this trailer. Happy Thanksgiving. Yes, thank you, Will, you’re welcome.” He says in the introduction.

The two-minute clip featured series regulars Smith, Tatyana Ali, Karyn Parsons, Joseph Marcell, Daphne Maxwell Reid and Alfonso Ribeiro reuniting with recurring costar DJ Jazzy Jeff in the Banks’ living room.

The group remembered the on-screen chemistry between “playmates” Smith and Ribeiro, 49, and the “Friday night party” vibe that the cast had during tapings

However, some of the cast had some reservations about joining the show. Reid, 72, recalled not wanting to do a sitcom with a “rapper” while Jeff, 55, wasn’t on board for the project at first because he didn’t consider himself an actor.

The cast also paid tribute to James Avery, who portrayed patriarch Philip Banks on the NBC sitcom. Avery died at the age of 68 in December 2013 following complications from open-heart surgery.

“James Avery was this 6-foot-4 Shakespearean beast and I wanted him to think I was good,” Smith said before a clip played of the pair in an emotional scene. “I fall into his arms at the end of the scene and he’s holding me, and the shot pans off and he whispered in my ear, ‘Now, that’s acting.’”

The trailer ends with Janet Hubert, who originally played Aunt Vivian, returning to the set. Hubert, 64, left the show in 1993 after she and Smith had difficulties working together. Reid took over the role for the final three seasons.

“Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” was created by Andy Borowitz and Susan Borowitz and aired for six seasons on NBC from 1990 to 1996. The popular sitcom followed Will (Will Smith), a troubled Philadelphia-born teen who was sent to live with his aunt, uncle and cousins in their Beverly Hills mansion.

The reunion special will debut Thursday, 19th November 2020 on WarnerMedia’s HBO Max. You can watch the trailer here:
