Tyra Banks to Guest-Star in Bel‑Air Final Season

Tyra Banks will guest-star in the fourth and final season of Peacock’s Bel-Air, which premieres Monday, November 24, 2025, playing a bold former college classmate whom Viv reluctantly reunites with — the role is new and not the Jackie Ames character Banks played on the original The Fresh Prince. Her casting is being framed as a full‑circle moment and she joins other Fresh Prince alums (Daphne Maxwell Reid, Vernee Watson‑Johnson, Joseph Marcell and Tatyana Ali) who have appeared in Bel‑Air as new characters. Season 4 follows Will through his senior year and major turning points for Carlton, Ashley, Viv and the Banks family, including an unexpected power shift that tests loyalties between Phil and Geoffrey. The series — inspired by Morgan Cooper’s viral trailer — has finished production, with Cooper directing the final two episodes, and Peacock will release episodes weekly during the show's final run. Banks’ guest appearance is intended to add nostalgia and dramatic closure to the reimagined franchise.
