People Really Aren’t Feeling The ‘Fresh Princess Of Bel-Air’ Reboot Rumour

Should some things be left in the past?

Popular 90's TV sitcom 'The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air' is rumoured to be returning - with a 'Fresh Princess'.

Rumours of a potential reboot surfaced this week after TMZ reported that the company behind the show have filed a new trademark to secure the rights to "Fresh Princess" on TV and across media platforms.

They also allegedly want to trademark the name for merchandise including bags, backpacks, animal collars, clothing and footwear.

Speculation concerning the female-focused reboot follows a post made by Will Smith - who played the show's titular character - appearing to endorse the idea of a cartoon version of the hit show.

Not everyone is happy about the news, however, as skeptical fans of the sitcom took to social media to air their views.

"Goodnight to everyone except the person who thinks “fresh princess of bel-air” is a good idea," wrote one user.

90’s shows reboots are corny and unnecessary. Leave the classics alone b. “Fresh Princess of Bel-Air”? Foh lmao

I don't wanna watch no fresh princess of Bel-Air. NO NO NO. No one can play Uncle Phill better than Uncle Phill, no one can play Carlton better than Carlton. Let that show REST IN PEACE

Somebody said to have Will & Jayden re-do Fresh Prince of Bel-Air but for it to be Jayden going to Philly because he is privileged from living in Bel-Air and I think that’s a better idea than “Fresh Princess”
