Janet Hubert -Daphne Reid – ‘Fresh Prince of Bel Air’
Unlike the other recastings on TV that you are now aware of, this recasting happened when the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was already on air. Janet Hubert was taken on board as Aunt Viv and people were slowly getting used to seeing her in the character.
By the time the third season arrived, the makers thought that Daphne Reid was a better choice for the character. Reid replaced Hubert in the third and fourth seasons. If reports are to go by, Hubert and Will Smith, the star of the series, didn’t share a comfort level.
Therefore, the makers thought replacing Hubert would be a wise decision to keep the show running. Of course, different parties might have a different story to tell and it is hard to find out which one is the authentic story.
