The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ended its original television run in 1996.
The sitcom premiered in 1990 and completed six seasons before its final broadcast year. Its concluding storylines addressed changes in the Banks household and brought the original NBC run to a close after Will had spent years adapting to life in Bel-Air.
The end of the original run is separate from later reunions and adaptations. The cast reunited for a 2020 unscripted special, while a dramatic reimagining titled Bel-Air began much later. Neither production changes the year in which the original sitcom ended.
Some date confusion comes from the final season being produced and broadcast across television scheduling cycles. For the original series as a whole, 1996 is the correct end year, following the six-season run that began in 1990.
