The fifth season of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air premiered on September 19, 1994 and aired its season finale on May 15, 1995. The series opens with Will working in Philadelphia, before a worker from NBC shows up and kidnaps him, telling him that the show's called The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, not The Fresh Prince of Philadelphia. Ross Bagley was added to the show's cast, playing a now preschool-aged Nicky Banks despite the character being a newborn infant in the previous season. This is common in television series and soap operas. In the first episode to feature this change, Jazz (one of Will's friends) expresses amazement while Will just stares uneasily into the camera.

- Will Smith, James Avery, Alfonso Ribeiro, Karyn Parsons, and Joseph Marcell were present for all episodes.
- Tatyana M. Ali was absent for one episode.
