Bel-Air season 3 is set to launch this summer, promising plenty of drama and excitement. The new season premieres on Peacock in the US on Thursday, August 15.
Season 3 shows Will enjoying his summer and exploring new opportunities, and gaining a new perspective from his time with the Banks family.
What is the story of Bel-Air Season 3?
Will teams up with Carlton, who is trying to overcome his addiction and repair his reputation. Their partnership will face challenges due to their different backgrounds.
Viv and Phil will face pressures both at work and at home that will test their relationship. The romance between Hilary and LaMarcus will face unexpected problems, while Ashley’s ideas about romance will evolve as she approaches high school. Jeffrey’s past in London will also resurface, causing new complications.
The official synopsis for Season 3 reads, “In Season Three, the school summer break is over, and Will is doing Bel-Air his own thing. Being part of the Banks family has given him a new perspective – it’s not just about money; it means Will now has the option to try his hand at other things that excite him and he’s allowed to dream big.”
It added, “Will takes a thrilling turn, finding an ally in Carlton, who also wants to leave his drug addiction behind and rebuild his damaged reputation. And while this dynamic duo has many exciting triumphs, working together also reveals fundamental differences in their backgrounds and worldviews. Can a partnership of such extremes work?”
