Bel-Air Season 5: Will Peacock Renew It or Pull the Plug?
Bel-Air’s fate hangs in the balance—will Season 5 get the green light or is the Banks family nearing a curtain call? With Will’s LA journey still unfolding, here’s what we know so far and when a verdict could drop.
Short version: if you were holding out hope for Bel-Air Season 5, it is not happening. The show wrapped with Season 4, and that was the plan.
So, is Season 5 happening?
No. Bel-Air is over with Season 4. The fourth season was announced as the final run, and there has been no movement on a renewal beyond that. Deadline previously reported that Season 4 would be the last, and nothing from the creators or cast has hinted otherwise. At this point, it is safest to take Season 4 as the end of the road.
- Season 4 was announced as the series finale season and premiered on November 24, 2025, per Deadline.
- The final season runs 8 episodes.
- The series finale, titled 'The Next Act', dropped on December 8, 2025.
- The finale tracks the Banks family through big end-of-senior-year pivots, new opportunities, and a couple of unexpected reunions.
- All four seasons are streaming on Peacock.
What the final season sets up
Season 4 plays like a curtain call. It leans into the big life transitions that come with senior year winding down, gives the core characters some grown-up choices to make, and circles back to relationships that have been evolving since the pilot. It is a tighter, more compressed rollout than you might expect for 8 episodes, but it gets to the point fast.
The premise, in case you need a refresher
Bel-Air reframes Will's story as a grounded drama: a kid from West Philadelphia lands in the rarefied world of his wealthy family in Los Angeles and has to figure out who he is in a place that wants to define him. The show digs into class and identity, how family ties get stressed under public pressure, and the messy balance between loyalty, image, and growth. It is a more emotionally direct version of the story that Andy and Susan Borowitz originated, with this series leaning into sharper stakes and real consequences.
Who is in it
The ensemble includes Jabari Banks, Cassandra Freeman, Jimmy Akingbola, Olly Sholotan, Coco Jones, Akira Akbar, Simone Joy Jones, Jordan L. Jones, Adrian Holmes, and more.
