\n\tInspired by Morgan Stevenson Cooper\u2019s viral trailer that reimagined the \u201890s sitcom,\u00a0Bel-Air\u00a0takes a dramatic and raw approach to this world of swagger, style, and aspiration, while exploring Will\u2019s (Jabari Banks) complex journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air through a current lens.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Season 4, Will tries to balance the fun and excitement of senior year with the expectations that have brought him to this moment. Carlton (Olly Sholotan) tests his own resolve as he deals with the fallout of some very big decisions that could threaten his future. Together, both boys will help each other through this pivotal time in their lives.<\/p>\n

\n\tAn unexpected power shift will threaten the brotherhood between Phil and Geoffrey, whose loyalties to the Banks family will be tested. Viv (April Parker Jones) struggles with reinventing herself as she looks at motherhood from a different perspective. It\u2019s Ashley\u2019s (Akira Akbar) freshman year in high school, and she\u2019s working through a rebellious phase, but quickly learns that the status quo may no longer serve her. Hilary goes on a journey of self-exploration.<\/p>\n
