Breathing new life into a character the culture already loves is no easy assignment... especially when she comes from a Black TV classic weโve carried with us for decades.
Across four seasons of 'Bel-Air,' cocojones made Hilary Banks feel completely her own... ambitious, vulnerable, stylish and rooted in today. Now, Peacock is developing 'Hilary,' a spinoff that could finally put her at the center, with Coco also stepping behind the scenes as an executive producer.
At a time when Black television too often has to fight for staying power, thereโs something meaningful about watching one of our stories get the time and room to grow... creating space for even more Black stories to thrive.
