The 51-year-old actor took to Instagram to share the sweet snap. He captioned it: "Today is exactly 30 YEARS since The @FreshPrince of Bel-Air debuted! So we’re doin’ something for y’all… a for real Banks Family Reunion is comin’ soon to @HBOmax! [sic]."
He also paid tribute to the late James Avery, who portrayed Uncle Phil. The actor passed away back in 2013, at the age of 68.
"RIP James," he simply wrote.

Naturally, fans were overjoyed to see the actors reunite, and at the time of writing, the post has garnered over three million likes on Instagram, since it was shared today (September 11).
"This is exactly what the world needs right now," wrote one Instagram user, while another corroborated, "This is epic! 30 years? That’s incredible. This will be special."
"We can't wait for this! and hopefully we can get the Ice Tray's season 1 cheesesteak recipe!" added a third.
As well as sharing the cast photo, Smith also shared a snap of himself and Janet Hubert, who played Aunt Viv until she was replaced by Reed following disagreements with Smith and the producers of the show, which first debuted back in 1990.
The pair are due to discuss their previous issues in the special, according to HBO Max, as they spoke for the first time in over 25 years.
HBO Max has said that the reunion show will be a "funny and heartfelt night full of music, dancing, and more special surprise guests.'
The special is set to be directed by Marcus Raboy, and will broadcast later this autumn.
