Tyra Banks Joins ‘Bel-Air’ Season 4, Over 30 Years Since Her Role In Original Series

Tyra Banks is joining the fourth and final season of Bel-Air.

Her cast announcement for the season comes over 30 years after she recurred in the original The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as Jackie Ames, Will’s ex-girlfriend from Philadelphia. A reimagined version of the character which shares the same name was played by Jazlyn Martin in Bel-Air.

In Bel-Air, Banks will play “former college classmate with a big personality who Viv is reluctantly reunited with.”

Here’s the official description of Bel-Air Season 4:

In season four of Peacock’s successful one-hour drama series “Bel-Air,” Will tries to balance the fun and excitement of senior year with the expectations that have brought him to this moment. Carlton tests his own resolve as he deals with the fallout of some very big decisions that could threaten his future. Together, both boys will help each other through this pivotal time in their lives. An unexpected power shift will threaten the brotherhood between Phil and Geoffrey, whose loyalties to the Banks family will be tested. Viv struggles with reinventing herself as she looks at motherhood from a different perspective. It’s Ashley’s freshman year in high school and she’s working through a rebellious phase but quickly learns that the status quo may no longer serve her. Hilary goes on a journey of self-exploration.
