Overview
- The project was reported Tuesday as being in development at Peacock with a public logline and production partners named but no official series order or release plan.
- Coco Jones is set to reprise Hilary Banks as the star and an executive producer, and Tracy Oliver is attached as writer and executive producer.
- Will Smith’s Westbrook Studios and Universal Television are producing, and the report lists franchise stakeholders such as Morgan Cooper, the Jeff Pollack trust and the Quincy Jones estate as executive producers.
- The logline says Hilary accepts a job from celebrity chef Yvonne Durand and impulsively moves to New York to prove herself beyond her Bel‑Air connections, a premise that departs from Bel‑Air’s finale while echoing the original Fresh Prince series.
- If the show is greenlit, it would likely be Peacock’s first scripted-original spinoff and would keep Westbrook’s modern Fresh Prince universe active while giving Jones a leading-series role and Oliver a showrunner-sized creative platform.
