Bel-Air Plot and Cast
In the Bel-Air Season 1 finale, Will learns the truth about his father. He hadn’t left Will, as he had always been told, but had been incarcerated for robbery. Feeling betrayed, Will stormed out after an explosive argument with Aunt Viv and Uncle Phil. He thought about returning to Philly but seemed to reconsider after a talking-to from Jazz.
When asked for Season 2 details, showrunner T.J. Brady told TVLine that they will go to try and define themselves in Los Angeles outside of Bel-Air. He also added that they could look forward to him seeing what else that city has to offer in terms of making him feel like he belongs, places and people where he can thrive, and just figuring out a future for himself.
Brady continued that the incident with Lou coupled with Jazz’s words and Will’s journey is going to take him on that coming-of-age self-discovery that everyone can relate to.
The cast members expected to return includes Jabari Banks, Olly Sholotan, Adrian Holmes, Cassandra Freeman, and Coco Jones. We might get to see the return of Akira Akbar, April Parker Jones, and honorary family member Jimmy Akingbola. We can also expect Simone Joy Jones and Jordan L Jones to return.
