Will Smith has debuted the official trailer of the upcoming Fresh Prince of Bel-Air cast reunion.

The HBO Max event celebrates the 30th anniversary of the beloved sitcom and sees the main living cast — Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton Banks), Daphne Maxwell Reid (the second actress who portrayed Aunt Viv), Karyn Parsons (Hilary Banks), Tatyana M. Ali (Ashley Banks), DJ Jazzy Jeff (Jazz) and Joseph Marcell (Geoffrey) — back on the Fresh Prince set. They look back at how they first got involved in the project, with Reid and Jazzy Jeff revealing they didn’t want to do the show in the first place. The group also touches on the impact of the late James Avery (Uncle Phil), and are surprised by the news that Smith also sat down/invited Janet Hubert, the original actress who portrayed Aunt Viv for the first three seasons but left with bad blood.

Watch the full trailer above. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reunion airs November 19 on HBO Max.

Elsewhere in entertainment, Sylvester Stallone has joined the cast of The Suicide Squad.
