Thrust into a life of privilege, he now resides in their sprawling mansion alongside a cast of unforgettable characters. There’s Uncle Phil Banks, a no-nonsense authority figure, and Aunt Vivian, a sharp and ambitious woman carving her own path. Rounding out the household are Will's cousins: Carlton, with his polished preppy style and undeniable air of superiority; Hilary, effortlessly stylish but delightfully naive; young Ashley, still finding her place; and Geoffrey, the family’s ever-observant, dryly humorous butler. Navigating this new world isn't always smooth sailing – Will’s vibrant, unconventional lifestyle frequently collides with his relatives' more refined sensibilities, often leading to hilarious chaos for everyone involved.25 episodes · Sep 10, 19907.625Sep 10, 19907.602Season 2He’s back and ready to shake things up!
