Now this is a story, fans of 90s TV favourite The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air – because your beloved show could be about to get a reboot, except this time with one notable twist.
Yup, according to TMZ Fresh Prince could be about to become Fresh Princess – with rumours that the programme which turned Will Smith into a household name could be set to be picked up, dusted down and given a female makeover for the 21st Century.
Yes folks, it could happen. Because the site has reported that the company which owns the rights to Fresh Prince has recently filed a few trademark applications to lock down rights to the name ‘Fresh Princess’.
And not just for TV either – they’re also looking to put it across a range of merchandise from clothing and backpacks to bags and shoes.
We admit it – we’re excited to see where this leads. Not that others are quite so sure.
Of course this is all still very speculative – and there’s no word on whether Will Smith might be involved in any reboot.
However he has previously played down suggestions that there could be a Fresh Prince reunion some time in the future.
‘Stuff had to go really wrong for there to be a Fresh Prince reunion special,’ he insisted.
‘Like, I don’t know what would have to happen! Nah man, you can’t touch stuff like that. ‘It’s so nostalgic for people – I’m not going nowhere near that.’
Alfonso Ribeiro, who played Smith’s cousin Carlton in the original series also denied the speculation, saying: ‘There ain’t gonna be no Fresh Prince nothing!’
Nobody said anything about Fresh Princess, mind…
