The show is a sci-fi parody of "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" that follows 18-year-old Phil Smith as he comes to live with his uncle and cousins in a futuristic world after getting into trouble back home. Phil struggles to fit in with his minimalist and formal high-tech generation while being influenced by hip hop culture. He causes havoc both on Earth and in space with his group of friends who copy his every move. Phil must learn to take on more responsibility as he grows up under the stress of his uncle, a respected Space Judge, trying to keep him out of trouble.

1. SOAP PITCH

2. Fresh Prince of the
Space Galaxy
 The show is going to be a parody of the hit TV programmed “Fresh
Prince of Bel-Air” however, with a sci-fi twist.
 It will follow the life of Phil Smith, an 18 year old kid, living in a futuristic
world, accompanied by his friends, who cause havoc, both on earth
and in space.
 Although, Phil must find a way to come to terms with growing up and
the responsibilities which come with age.

3. Characters
 Phil Smith: Is 18 years old and has come to live with
his uncle and cousins due to a space fight that went
slightly wrong in his home town. Phil is heavily
influenced by hip hop but due to the fact the show is
set in the future, his clothing style and casual
accent, does not fit in with the rest of the minimalist,
high tech and formal generation.

4. Characters
 The Possy: These are a group of 4 other teenagers, who
speak, dress and act exactly like Phil Smith. They seem
to have no unique personalities and seem to copy nearly
everything Phil Says.
 Darlton Banks: Is also 18 years old and is Phil’s cousin,
though the two can’t be more different. Darlton is well
spoken and strives to do well in school, unlike his wilder
cousin. Darlton Dresses in the typical futurist gear and is
always wearing the latest tech!
 Uncle Bill: A local and highly respected Space Judge,
Struggling to look after the young Phil Smith. He is an
uptight, middle aged man, who is put under huge
amounts of stress keeping Phil Smith out of trouble.

5. Audience
 The target audience age range will be from 13 to 20 as
the characters in the show will have varying ages
ranges.
 Furthermore, the hybrid between sci-fi and soap genre
allows for a mass audience appeal, both male and
female.
 In addition, the show will only be aired on Netflix, once a
week and on no TV broadcasted channel. As a result of
this a younger audience is more likely to watch the show,
as they are the main users online, with 54% of Netflix
users being aged between 18-35
 A diverse selection of ethnicities and sexualities present
throughout the show and therefore, appeals to a wide
range of audiences.
 The runtime for each episode will average 30 minutes

6. References and competitors
 Similar programmes which are already successful on Netflix,
are programmes such as “Orange is the New Black” and
“House of Cards” both of which, have a huge online following.
 80% of Netflix rental activity is for TV shows, meaning there is
potentially a large audience available to watch.
 Another spin off and parody genre is the upcoming programme
“Better Call Saul” which takes themes from “Breaking Bad”
and follows Saul Goodman, a criminal lawyer.

7. Narrative
 The narrative for “Fresh prince of the Space Galaxy”
will be linear and though Phil smith is the
Protagonist, the show will follow a multi-stranded
plot, delving into the lives of Darlton Banks, Uncle
Bill and other family members.
 Occasional Flashbacks will be used to help keep
the storyline interesting, however these will be
extremely cliché and unrealistic due to the parody
and scifi genre.

8. Set
 Trying to replicate “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” as much as
possible, the location will be set in a studio with a multi-
camera set up.
 The studio setup will allow for an easier programme turn
around, whilst also making the scifi set design easier to
reproduce on a weekly basis.
 However, there will be some location shooting when Phil Smith
and his “Possy” spend time on earth, which will be gritty and
post look apocalyptic, hugely contrasting to that of the
spaceship.
 The show will be performed in front of a live audience.
 The main meeting location the characters will gather is Uncle
Bill’s “home spaceship” which orbits earth and is inhabited
predominantly by Darlton Banks and Phill Smith.
