Jabari Banks Interview | Bel-Air Final Season


Jabari Banks opens up about the most talked-about moment of Bel-Air’s final season — Will Smith’s surprise and deeply emotional cameo in the series finale, where he appears as an older version of Jabari’s Will. Jabari reflects on what that moment meant personally and creatively, and how it brought the reimagining full circle.

We discuss the powerful scene where Will Smith shares life advice with his younger self, encouraging him to live fully, laugh, cry, enjoy the ride, and trust that everything will be okay. Jabari also talks about the seven-year journey of Bel-Air, the responsibility of honoring an iconic legacy, and how the series helped audiences embrace reboots and reimaginings in a new way.

Jabari reflects on growing into a leading star in real time, hosting the 2025 Capitol Battle of the Bands, and what’s next for him following the end of Bel-Air. Plus, he shares insight into his music career, including his debut EP ULTRA and the release of his “No Trouble” video.

All four seasons of Bel-Air are now streaming on Peacock.

In season four of Peacock’s successful one-hour drama series “Bel-Air,” Will tries to balance the fun and excitement of senior year with the expectations that have brought him to this moment. Carlton 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. An unexpected power shift will threaten the brotherhood between Phil and Geoffrey, whose loyalties to the Banks family will be tested. Viv struggles with reinventing herself as she looks at motherhood from a different perspective. It’s Ashley’s freshman year in high school and she’s 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.
Inspired by Morgan Stevenson Cooper’s viral trailer that reimagined the iconic, culture-defining ‘90s sitcom, “Bel-Air” takes a dramatic and raw approach to this world of swagger, style, and aspiration, while exploring Will’s complex journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air through a current lens. The series features an ensemble cast that includes Jabari Banks as Will and a creative team that includes showrunner, executive producer, and writer Carla Banks Waddles and Cooper, who serves as executive producer and will direct the final two episodes of the series.
