Get ready to bust out “the Carleton” because The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is getting revived.

Following a trend of rebooting favourite ’90s TV shows a la Fuller House, The X-Files and Twin Peaks, TVLine reported Thursday that Will Smith’s production company Overbrook Entertainment is in the early stages of developing a modern take on the “fish-out-of-water tale while maintaining the spirit of Fresh Prince.”
