Overview
- The series ends with an unannounced guest appearance in the finale that was kept out of marketing to preserve the surprise.
- Producers say the moment is deliberately open to interpretation, framing the visitor as a source of reassurance rather than a literal reveal.
- Confirmation of the guest’s availability arrived roughly two weeks before production wrapped, leading writers to craft two versions of the ending.
- Creators had long pursued this appearance and previously explored a different role for the guest, which ultimately went to Marlon Wayans due to scheduling.
- Season 4 also features tributes from original Fresh Prince cast members, including Janet Hubert, and all four seasons are now streaming on Peacock.
