He also talks about how having original cast member Tatyana Ali guest this season was a borderline spiritual experience. custom-image-bel-air-olly-sholoton.

The audience gets to see a lot of the things that Carlton is really good at in relationships, but also the things that he needs work on, and the things, in himself, that he needs to deal with before getting into a relationship with someone else. I have to go in there and find that stuff and bring it out, but at the end of the day, it’s worth it. I was on the lot for ADR, or for a fitting or something, and we ran into each other. You don’t have anxiety anymore.” In reality, it’s more about learning to cope with the anxiety, and learning to deal with it, and figuring out how to live a life with it. And so, playing a character that gets to speak to that is really important to me. And I know there was definitely a small voice in the back of my head that was like, what if I do this and I hate it? What has most helped you to find that and make it as authentic as possible? And then, when I saw that it was a dramatic retelling, I was like, “Wait a second, this is very interesting.” I remember for my audition, they had said, “This is not the ‘90s sitcom. When it comes to Carlton, a big issue for him is his anxiety, and how he deals with it or doesn’t deal with it. We’ll do it again.” That’s the type of creative environment that we’ve fostered on our set, and I think it’s what led to the show being so good. The original Carlton, in the sitcom, was such a specific character, so did it ever concern you to take on this role, knowing that it would not be what people expected? I also love that, just when I thought it was at the point where I might be past being able to like Carlton, that dynamic really flipped.

"I'm proud that they're thinking this way, but I don't want it to backfire and bite them in the butt and affect them in a negative way," Holmes, 48, said of Phil's attitude toward his kids. "Will really pushes him out of his comfort zone," Sholotan said. The protest storyline also intersects with a story about Carlton attempting to wean off his anxiety medications.

The name Jackie may not ring much of a bell with the casual watcher, nor will it mean anything to those who are new to Bel-Air (Fresh Prince or otherwise) but the character definitely holds significance. It's a pretty epic moment but while it is a pleasure to see Ali back in the universe in what appears to be a recurring role, we're actually talking about a different comeback. She is one of Will's childhood best friends from West Philadelphia, who moves out to California after taking a basketball scholarship at UCLA. [The Prince of Bel-Air is back](https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a39450413/bel-air-olly-sholotan-carlton-backlash/) and he's straightening his crown and learning how to walk tall without being dependent on Aunt Viv (Cassandra Freeman) and Uncle Phil (Adrian Holmes).

When I got on the call, Will Smith was there and his screen was so clear, I thought it was a pre-recorded video, but he was like, ‘Yo, what’s up’ and before my eyes, it was Will Smith talking to me. I remember I was told the story. So I had my sides ready and was gonna give it my all and I actually did the audition in my friend Dante’s closet. I had to break past that barrier in my mind of like, ‘why they chose me for this role?’ I had to go and show up every day and just be myself and bring myself to the role and really tap into the frequency that I was on when I booked it. But I think that they like to add a dope silhouette to the bottom of the feet so I just appreciate them for that. So I was like, wow, that’s such an amazing feeling, to touch the youth in that way. So it’s like the reach of the show is so large and I’m just grateful for Morgan Cooper for giving me the opportunity to bring this show back to life. When I heard that Marlon Wayans was going to be playing my dad, I thought whoa, this is an interesting choice. And Morgan Cooper had texted me, he said, ‘Hey, we want to do one more creative session with you.’ And I was like, ‘what does a creative session mean when it comes to acting’ so I was Googling creative sessions. But I had a great support system around me, people who supported me and reminded me that I was there for a reason because they love what I did. Growing up, it was so dope to kind of see myself portrayed on screen in that way. Jabari Banks: I really love the reaction to Bel Air.

Banks shared how Will Smith surprised him with news of his "Bel-Air" role in a new interview on "The Drew Barrymore Show."

It was almost surreal," he said. "It was so meta. "Morgan Cooper called me and he said, 'We want to do one more creative session with you,' and I was like, 'What is a creative session?'" ["The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,"](https://www.insider.com/then-and-now-cast-of-fresh-prince-of-bel-air-2020-7) which was [coincidentally Smith's acting debut as well.](https://www.insider.com/will-smith-improvised-fresh-prince-of-bel-air-piano-scene-pilot-2021-11) "I was actually here in New York, and my friend didn't have a big space and so he didn't have a wall that I could actually audition on," Banks told Barrymore about how he ended up in a closet to take the call. - Jabari Banks said on "The Drew Barrymore Show" he learned he was cast in a surprise Zoom call.

Season 2 of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot, Bel-Air starring Jabari Banks as Will Smith is available to watch on Peacock in the US now.

Check back here for updates on the UK release of Bel-Air season two. However, unlike some US shows which come to the UK through Sky Atlantic, the second season of Bel-Air is currently unavailable to watch. The second season sees Will playing street-ball, hoping to catch the attention of a recruiter and go professional.

Coco Jones talks all things “Bel-Air” season 2, and reveals her true feelings about short kings and the best advice she got from SZA.

So I feel like the [current] momentum has validated [me again], but in a way that even if it ‘goes away,’ it won't… How do you feel now, almost exactly a year later, with season 2 finally out in the world? it charged me up in a way, so I wanted to give that same energy to Hilary,” Coco tells Teen Vogue. What I Didn't Tell You reaching the top spot of Apple Music's R&B charts upon its release is indication that Coco has hit her groove, and the world is finally tuned in.

Bossip interview with 'Bel-Air' actors Adrian Holmes, Jimmy Akingbola, and Olly Sholotan about challenges, cast musicality and more.

Olly Sholotan spoke about the challenges he faced with social media bullying in the first season of the show but said that ultimately Carlton is his favorite character he’s portrayed. The trio also discussed how the set is full of music, with Olly and other actors often playing the piano between takes. [inside scoop](https://bossip.com/2191771/bel-air-season-2-first-look/) from the cast.

Jordan L. Jones & Simone Jones discuss relationships, why Jazz doesn't always wear sunglasses, and their exciting new arcs in Bel-Air season 2.

It's little stuff that I just want to bring to the emotions of the viewers. And I think that not only pushes the show along, but it reveals a lot about what we're going to do in crisis, and what Will and Carlton think is important. To protect him, Will's mother sends him to live with relatives in LA's wealthiest suburbs, which is only the beginning of a complicated journey for the teenager. I think that [it's] opposed to the first season, where I'm just the voice of reason and don't really have any conflict in my life. And I never want to be put in a box with my career. There's certain times, like in the first episode: I'm kind of supposed to be serious when I pull up to the mansion, but I was like, "F--k it. Of course, in digging into the layers, I want to have some conflict here. I think Drew is a character that pushes buttons and boundaries. It's really pushed them to be honest with each other, and I think that's a really beautiful thing about their relationship in whatever capacity it comes. One of my main things was just trying to get it down, because I'm not actually Muslim, but I just wanted to do it as accurately as I possibly could to just shed light on that. I think that you're going to see a lot of that because that's what happens in every relationship. And you guys have the best soundtrack out of any show really out there.

Cassandra Freeman, Coco Jones & Akira Akbar discuss the impact of new characters, new relationships, and Tatyana Ali's cameo in Bel-Air season 2.

To protect him, Will's mother sends him to live with relatives in LA's wealthiest suburbs, which is only the beginning of a complicated journey for the teenager. How does she handle more of the managerial role in the influencer space and navigate her partnerships with other influencers? Coco, I love the relationship with Hilary and Jazz. But I really think the story is about how men recognize what other men are doing underneath the surface, and so she doesn't peep things the way Phil peeps it. For me, the first goal is get Geoffrey back in this house; to get Will back in this house. Akira, there's a real passing of the torch moment this season, especially with the fist bump between your Ashley and Tatyana Ali, who's on the show as Mrs. How have Will and the rest of the Banks' family changed from season 1 to season 2? And there's some other blessings that happen, but also she has to push some other people to the side and have to raise her husband to understand who he needs to be to. Cassandra, at the start of the season, Geoffrey and Will have both gone. When Will moves in with his family and starts at the same school as his cousin, he tries to find his footing and figure out his place in this new world. Will also reconnects with his family, to Ashley's great joy, while Hilary splits focus between her new managerial role in the influencers space and her relationship with Jazz. When the series opens, Will Smith runs into trouble in Wes Philadelphia and his mother sends him to live with his aunt and uncle in the wealthy LA suburb of Bel-Air.

What if he is using Jackie to keep tabs on Will and keep him close? Things continued to deteriorate in Hilary's content house when Ivy didn't want to be part of a promotional campaign. When Carlton tries to do something by himself, Will swoops in and usurps everything. Carlton has big dreams, and among them is winning the Founders Award, which makes his chances at getting to Princeton much better. The Bel-Air team won't keep giving him a pass, and they might boot him. Will and Carlton's brotherhood seemed to deepen, as nothing makes a relationship stronger than mutual secrets. While it is noble to be there for your friends, one has to know their limits, and Jazz had reached his limit when Will started coming home late. Aunt Viv was still trying to break into the art scene, but Reed's reach was too far. The initial competition that marked the beginning of their relationship was less prevalent. It was not as flowery as he wanted because Jazz was tired of having him on his couch. With parental supervision, he was in a better position. Living with Jazz gave Will too much freedom, and who knows what he had been up to?

'Will is searching for his freedom in Season 2, who he is, where he belongs,' says Banks of his hoops-loving character.
