On which streaming service did the reunion special premiere?

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reunion special premiered on HBO Max. The streaming event, officially titled The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reunion, reunited the surviving original cast for a retrospective and celebration of the landmark sitcom.

HBO Max released the special in November 2020, close to the 30th anniversary of the original series. The sitcom had premiered on NBC in 1990 and became one of the defining television comedies of the decade, running for six seasons.

The reunion was filmed on the original show’s soundstage and included cast conversations, behind-the-scenes memories, archival clips, and music. Will Smith served as host, while performers including Alfonso Ribeiro, Tatyana Ali, Karyn Parsons, Joseph Marcell, Daphne Maxwell Reid, and DJ Jazzy Jeff took part.

A notable segment featured Janet Hubert, who played the original Aunt Vivian, returning to speak with Smith. Viewers sometimes confuse HBO Max with Peacock because Peacock later became the home of Bel-Air, the dramatic 2022 reimagining. Peacock did not premiere the 2020 reunion.
