‘Bel-Air’ Spinoff ‘Hilary’ Starring Coco Jones in Development at Peacock
“Hilary,” an offshoot of the Will Smith-inspired drama series starring Coco Jones , is in development at the streamer. The project hails from writer-producer Tracy Oliver, co-writer of “Girls Trip” and “Little.”
If the series moves forward, “Bel-Air” will become Peacock’s first scripted original series to get a spinoff.
Jones played Will Smith’s (Jabari Banks) cousin Hilary Banks across all four seasons of “Bel-Air,” a dramatic reimagining of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” that became a breakout hit for Peacock. The show followed Will Smith’s journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the luxurious gated mansions of Bel-Air. (We all know the song…) Popular on Variety
The logline of “Hilary” reads, “After accepting an unexpected job offer from celebrity chef Yvonne Durand, Hilary Banks impulsively moves to New York determined to prove herself beyond her Bel-Air connections — only to find that success, friendship and love in the city come with a cost she never anticipated.”
