Nostalgia alert!
The cast of beloved 90s sitcom The
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reunited
on Monday for a get-together that will surely have everyone singing, "Now
this is a story all about how..."
Alfonso Ribeiro shared
the group snapshot featuring Tatyana Ali, Karyn
Parsons, Daphne Maxwell Reid and Joseph Marcell to his Instagram, which he captioned,
"Always amazing to spend an afternoon with my Fresh Prince family. Wishing
that James Averywas still
with us to make this complete."
Avery, who played Will's no-nonsense Uncle
Phil on the show, passed away in 2014.
And while it's been more than a decade since Fresh
Prince ended its
wildly popular six-season run, fans are still holding out for a revival.
When E! News caught
up with the show's titular star last year, he was quick to shut down
speculation that a reboot was in the works. "I don't think ever, like
pretty close to when hell freezes over,"
Smith shared. "Like we're going to leave that one alone."
Two
years prior, Alfonso explained why the cast has opted out of any sort of
official reunion in honor of Avery's legacy on the show.
"Since
the passing of my favorite dad in the world, ever on TV, James Avery passed,
the chances of a Fresh
Prince coming back together will not happen," he told E! News. "I don't think we feel
as a cast that we would do even our fans justice. We all felt like he was
the centerpiece or the nucleus of that show. Without him, it just doesn't work.
So even if the whole cast comes to support me on the show, we're not looking for
that to happen. And that's OK."
