Which is Ed Sheeran's favorite TV show?

Ed Sheeran's favorite TV show is The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The American sitcom, starring Will Smith as a fictionalized version of himself, was one of Sheeran's well-known pop-culture favorites, and he has repeatedly shown his enthusiasm for it in public appearances.

The series originally ran from 1990 to 1996 and follows a teenager from West Philadelphia who moves in with his wealthy relatives in Bel-Air, Los Angeles. Its mix of comedy, family conflict, music, and social commentary made it one of the defining sitcoms of the 1990s. The show's opening rap, performed by Smith, became almost as recognizable as the series itself.

Sheeran's connection to the program is especially memorable because he performed an acoustic version of the famous theme during a 2017 radio appearance. That performance helped renew attention on his fandom. A common mix-up is confusing the title with the character's name: the show is The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, while “Fresh Prince” is the nickname used by Smith's character, Will.
