Bel-Air returns for season 2 on February 23 and picks proper again up in the course of the household drama. Will left the Banks home after studying Phil and Viv lied to him about the place his father has been all these years. HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Jabari Banks about the way forward for Will’s relationship along with his father after Will mentioned he needed nothing to do with Lou.
“When tensions are high, you say some things that you don’t mean,” Jabari mentioned in the course of the present’s press junket. “We will see the remnants of Will’s father this season in Will’s decisions in the way that he goes about resolving issues. Whether that be like challenging authority or running or fighting, that’s something that we’ll see this season, which I’m excited about. It’s kind of unspoken about, but it’s there.”
Will was heartbroken to study that his Uncle Phil and Aunt Viv had betrayed him by protecting the reality about his father’s time in jail a secret. Despite their points, Jabari believes that reconciliation is feasible.
“I think it can get back to what it was,” the 17-year-old actor mentioned. “It is repairable, but the trust is broken. So it’s going to take some time and some effort to get back to that place fully. We find Will outside of the gates of Bel-Air at the beginning of season 2, and he’s trying to find himself, he’s finding his freedom, and who he is. He’s creating his own narrative, and that’s something that’s super important for the development of the character Will.”
Jabari famous that the latest betrayals are “a lot to take in” for Will. “When those secrets are uncovered and those lies are uncovered, what next? I think that’s what he’s struggling with now with trusting and really trusting his family again,” Jabarid continued. “Even just being in the same space as them. I think he has taken time for himself to be able to process that, which is an admirable thing to do as a teenager. Sometimes we just go, go, go, go, go, but I think Will is smart enough to be like, no, this affected me in this way and I don’t want to deal with that until this is resolved. So he’s getting away.”
Despite points with Phil and Viv, Will and Carlton stay stronger than ever. Jabari revealed that Carlton is “kind of the messenger between Phil’s emotions and Will.” He famous that “Will and Carlton’s camaraderie is such a beautiful thing that I’m happy to show this season.” The first 3 episodes of Bel-Air season 2 premiere February 23 on Peacock.
