Bel-Air follows a trend that sees multiple cameos from actors who star in the inspiration for the show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. It is a formula that always succeeds, and the show has to maintain the tradition for one actor who has yet to make an appearance. The grittier reimagining of the hit 90s sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, received a mixed reception where some viewers were skeptical about the Bel-Air remake and the justification for its existence. Since then, the show has been praised for its unique twist on the beloved characters, which allows it to stand apart from its predecessor.
