Original Aunt Viv from Fresh Prince Janet Hubert Joins Final Season of Bel-Air

**The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air** brought us lots of laughter and heartwarming moments back in the day, and now, a familiar face is making a return to the beloved series. Janet Hubert, known for her role as Vivian Banks in the first three seasons of the show, is joining the final season of **Bel-Air** on Peacock.

After leaving the show in 1993 due to “creative differences,” Hubert is back to take on a new character in the Banks family. Caroline Chikezie, from **Power Book II: Ghost**, is also making an appearance as a guest star in this upcoming season. The streaming platform Deadline reports that Hubert’s character will play a pivotal role in Hillary’s storyline, while Chikezie will portray Dominique Warren, a key figure from Geoffrey’s past.

In the years since leaving **Fresh Prince**, Hubert and Will Smith, who serves as an executive producer on **Bel-Air**, have worked to mend their relationship. The two actors, who famously had a public feud, reconciled during the show’s HBO Max reunion special in 2020. They’ve since maintained a strong bond, with Hubert sharing that they text each other regularly and have a deep respect for one another.
