Now, Avery tragically passed away in 2013 after experiencing complications from open heart surgery, which dashed our hopes of a Fresh Prince revival with the show's original cast.

Make the damn reboot happen, people.
If you grew up in the 90s, then there's a pretty decent chance you watched Will Smith's hit show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. (If not, you've probably seen a rerun, or at least danced to/ yelled the iconic Fresh Prince theme song at a wedding at some point).
