Bel-Air had one more surprise for longtime fans. Will Smith cameoed during the series finale on Peacock. Jabari Banks plays Will in the dramatic version of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. It’s been a while since he shared the screen with the man who made the role famous. The 57-year-old has been a long-discussed cameo for Bel-Air. Now, the OG and the new Fresh Prince share a sweet moment for fans of both series.

“Even though fans of the show won’t be going into the next act with the Banks family, I think we gave them a proper send off that will have everyone rooting for them. I know a lot of people are sad that the show is ending, and that’s a testament to the talented writers, producers, cast and crew for what they poured into four seasons of Bel-Air,” Banks Waddles told the fans. “I hope this season and the finale feels like a big thank you to the faithful audience who has been riding with us since season one. The support, love and appreciation is definitely felt.”
