And while the dynamic duo has exciting wins, working together reveals fundamental differences in their backgrounds and worldviews which should come as no surprise to anyone who’s been watching since Season 1.
Viewers can also expect to see Viv (Cassandra Freeman) and Phil (Adrian Holmes) navigate challenges caused by pressures at work and home which parallels Hilary’s (Coco Jones) romantic journey with LaMarcus (Jordan L. Jones) that will face some shocking hurdles.

One of the show’s biggest wildcards is Ashley (Akira Akbar) whose views on romance will start to blossom as she comes of age the summer before high school while Geoffrey’s (Jimmy Akingbola) London past will come a little too close to home.

“Season 3 is summer season of Bel-Air!” said Showrunner/Executive Producer/Writer Carla Banks Waddles. “No school. No uniforms. Just summer sizzle. Pools, beach parties, bonfires, fireworks, Juneteenth celebrations, and lots of summer lovin’.”
“Season 3 explores questions like, how do you prove yourself in a world that views you in limited ways? How do you reach beyond your comfort zone to create new opportunities for yourself? How does a family rebuild broken trust?”
“Bel-Air has always been a show with a strong cultural point of view. In addition to our soapy teen and family stories, this season we’ll have a lot of great discussion on the gentrification happening in South LA and how so many people are capitalizing on the economy at the cost of the community. And this convo will become a backdrop through the season.”
“The writing team dug deep into their own lives to craft stories that will resonate with our audience. I love how everyone can see a little of themselves in the Banks family. No matter how fantastic and aspirational their lives are, we strive to tell stories that stay rooted in the love and compassion required to keep a family strong.”
Bel-Air Season 3 premieres Aug. 15 on Peacock.
