Who will appear in the French Prince of Bel-Air reunion?

According to Deadline, the sitcom's star Will Smith will be appearing in the one-off special, alongside the Banks family members – Tatyana Ali (Ashley), Karyn Parsons (Hilary), Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton), Daphne Maxwell Reid (the second Aunt Viv) – and of course Joseph Marcell (Geoffrey the Butler) and DJ Jazzy Jeff.
