Our lives may be about to get flipped, turned upside down once again, as a spin-off to the popular 90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is reportedly in the works.

The Hollywood Reporter released the tidbit of information about the new series in an extensive profile covering Will Smith and his extending global brand, which is now said to include a Fresh Prince spin-off, over 20 years on from the original NBC show's final season.

While details remain scarce at the moment, the outlet confirmed that the new series would be developed under Westbrook Media, the cross-platform holding company that is owned by Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

This is good news for Fresh Prince fans, who may have been following the stories of a potential reboot for the past few years, with earlier reports giving rise to the idea of a new series that would provide a modern-day take on the show while retaining the spirit of the original series, from which Smith still earns "hefty royalties."

The rapper-turned-actor played a fictionalised version of himself on the much-loved show, which comprised of 148 episodes across six seasons, airing between 1990 and 1996.
