Bel-Air season 3: Release date, cast, plot, and other rumors

Bel-Air season 3 release date

Bel-Air’s filming was initially delayed a bit due to recent Hollywood strikes, but Peacock has since set the official Bel-Air season 3 release date for August 15, 2024. The first three episodes of the new season will be available straight away, with additional episodes rolling out weekly thereafter until the season ends.

The entire main cast returns for Bel-Air season 3. As a refresher, here’s a breakdown of the main cast:

• Will is played by Jabari Banks
• Carlton is played by Olly Sholotan
• Hilary is played by Coco Jones
• Ashley is played by Akira Akbar
• Geoffrey is played by Jimmy Akingbola
• Lisa is played by Simone Joy

Of course, Season 3 will bring fresh blood as well. Alycia Pascual-Peña and rapper Vic Mensa are both joining this season, playing the characters Quentin and Amira. You can also expect a few recurring cast members to return including Justin Cornwell as Hilary’s ex-boyfriend, Karrueche Tran as Hilary’s frenemy Ivy, and Jovian Wade as Geoffry’s estranged son.

To understand what’s coming in season 3, let’s quickly recap the previous season. Season 2 brought some pretty big changes to the source material, including introducing the idea that Will’s father didn’t abandon his family, he was in prison for thirteen years. The season also dived deeper into Will’s own journey to discover himself and overcome his trust issues, something he makes some progress on but ultimately, it’s still an issue at the season’s end.

The season wrapped up with more than a few cliffhangers as Carlton battles addiction and Geoffrey is haunted by his own troubled past in London. It also ended on a slightly optimistic note, however, as the season concluded with the end of school for the year, and Will hoping for a great summer.

As you’d expect, season 3 picks up right where the last season left off, this time focusing on Will’s life outside of the school year. The trailer suggests Will continues to get himself into trouble, getting involved in a dangerous street race, and much more.
