With many of us self-isolating, it's more important than ever to have quality entertainment to binge on. Luckily, it appears that Will Smith has come to the rescue, with his brand new series for Snapchat, titled Will From Home.

There will reportedly be 12 episodes in total, and the show is part of the platform's wider response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Sean Mills, the head of original content at Snapchat, told the Hollywood Reporter that inspiration for the series came from conversations between the company and Smith's production company, Westbrook Media, regarding how self-isolation would inevitably lead to "new forms of creativity and new ways to tell stories."

"Will was feeling a lot of pent-up creative energy and was excited to do something with it in a new and different way," Mills told the publication.

"Our first reaction was to shore up the news coverage and really deliver on that. But after a week-and-a-half or so, we started to see a huge surge in interest in entertainment content, especially humor and comedy […] The kinds of things that the community wants are things that are positive, that feel empowering. It’s not just about escapism but it’s about actually what is the good that can come of a challenging moment in time. Will From Home fits perfectly with that."

The first episode of Will From Home was released on Snapchat on Friday, April 3rd, and saw the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star setting up his new studio, and producing a very familiar theme tune...
