The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air season 2

The second season of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air premiered on September 9, 1991, and concluded on May 4, 1992. Following the first season, the set pieces for the Banks mansion where changed to a new design that would be used throughout the rest of the program. The new design involved one large set piece divided between separate but adjacent mansion areas, with emphasis on providing ease on continuous shots between them. In addition, the show's writers provided further additional characters to the Banks family who would have recurring appearances in later seasons.

Season overview
After the success of the first season, production staff decided on a redesign of the sets used to represent the Banks family's mansion. While it had been designed with formality in mind, rooms were done in separate set pieces which required more time filming scenes. The set designers thus created a more robust arrangement that would ease filming - the focus being on creating one continuous set piece divided into separate areas. The new design focused on the mansion having a contemporary aesthics, with a living room adjacent to the kitchen and a conversatory, with a patio garden outside, allowing for the camera to make a continuous shot mostly within the indoor areas between the living room and kitchen.

Plots for the episodes of this season began to start divluging away from a focus on Will primarily, as had been in the first season, and more towards a mixture of main plotlines involving him or other members of the family, along with side plots that would be interlaced with the main story. In addition, the show's writers expanded the Banks family, incorporating important topics on family, parental love and respect with episodes that featured the extra character; other episodes touched on additional significant topics, including bullying, cheating, prejudgmental assumption, understanding sex, and friendship.
