Will Smith Shuts Down Rumors Of A ‘Fresh Prince’ Reboot

This is a story all about how there probably won't be a "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" reboot.

The classic sitcom's star Will Smith told his "Suicide Squad" co-star Margot Robbie, in a dual interview with E! News, that the speculated revival of the series was a long shot.

"I don't think ever, like pretty close to when hell freezes over," Smith, 47, said. "Like we're going to leave that one alone."

In August 2015, reports started surfacing that the show would be revamped for modern day by Smith's production company.

"Fresh Prince" aired for six seasons on NBC and ended its run in 1996. Other classic ‘90-era shows have received reboots recently, including “Full House,” “The X-Files” and “Twin Peaks.”

It is reported that the creators of “Fresh Prince” discovered Smith through his music video "Parents Just Don't Understand" and imagined he would be a good fit for the main character.

The actor went on to star in hit blockbusters like "Men in Black," "Independence Day," "Bad Boys" and many more.

Smith's next big film is "Suicide Squad," which is due out on Aug. 5.
