Plot

In a press release for season three of Bel-Air, Peacock shared the official synopsis for the upcoming season. You can read that below.

Season 3 is summer season of Bel-Air! No school. No uniforms. Just summer sizzle. Pools, beach parties, bonfires, fireworks, Juneteenth celebrations and lots of summer lovin’.

Season 3 explores questions like, how do you prove yourself in a world that views you in limited ways? How do you reach beyond your comfort zone to create new opportunities for yourself? How does a family rebuild broken trust?

Bel-Air has always been a show with a strong cultural point of view. In addition to our soapy teen and family stories, this season we’ll have a lot of great discussion on the gentrification happening in South LA and how so many people are capitalizing on the economy at the cost of the community. And this convo will become a backdrop through the season.

Trailer

Peacock has yet to release an official teaser or trailer for season three of of Bel-Air. Stay tuned for it as it should arrive in the coming weeks and months.
