It was really nice to reconnect with him. James Lewis, the Harvard Law grad, my partner at the firm, played by Reno Wilson who’s a friend of mine. He learned a lot when he was running for DA, about what the community needs.ĭEADLINE Of those new guest stars, are there any who directly impact Phil?
This season, Phil is going back to his law firm and figuring out what steps to take and what issues he wants to tackle. His definition of success is taking care of his family and seeing that they’re healthy and well. He dropped out of the race at the end of last season for good reason. To re-imagine an iconic sitcom and for it to have legs is a miracle.ĭEADLINE So Phil didn’t get to be District Attorney. So I pray that we will be around for a long time. I really take a lot of pride in that because it’s hard to do. We are the number one streaming show on Peacock with over 9 million subscribers. Our show was recognized with an NAACP Award for Best Drama. We live in such a sad, dark world, you know? We need as much light as we possibly can. I think that’s the most important part of the story, just being a part of a positive narrative. People tap in and they get to be entertained, but they also learn something. It’s like medicine for the community, for the culture. It’s such a great show, and what you’ve done with it is just brilliant and genius.’ It’s something that we all need. Most people I spoke to were just like, ‘we love the show. Yeah, I wasn’t too worried about it, to be honest. I wasn’t as worried about it, as a lot of people thought. HOLMES Well, there was that thought, but like I said, we have created a lane of our own. We’ll get to see him some more.ĭEADLINE Was there a part of you that was concerned that the tailwinds from the Oscars would blow onto your set and impact the show? We’ll have a third, fourth, fifth, sixth season and beyond. But he has a lot going on and you know, hopefully, we’ll see more of him by God’s grace. His presence is definitely felt by all of us. We give a blueprint to how they can deal with them.ĭEADLINE Did the real Will Smith, who is an executive producer on Bel-Air, come by the set in the second season? We tackle a lot of important issues that people deal with on a regular basis. Our show is like therapy to the community, to the culture. Fortunately, there’s not a lot of shows like ours in our lane. There’s a lane for that show, and there is one for ours. We want to be an accurate representation of the world outside of our window. HOLMES We try to stay at the current temperatures we live in. I mean, this is not supposed to be a comedy, but is there a limit to how gritty you think you can get? It just grew and expanded.ĭEADLINE The show is obviously much grittier than the original. I don’t think that we lost anything with the changeover. There’s some great love triangles this season that people are gonna really love and enjoy. The whole writer’s room came together and rallied to make sure that we didn’t suffer. She marches to the finish line so beautifully. We’re very lucky to have Carla Banks Waddles come on and take the lead. The changes that were made were a little concerning at the time, but it was actually a smooth transition for us. Has it taken a while to find the show’s voice?ĪDRIAN HOLMES No, I think we’ve had it all along.
