SPOILER ALERT! 

Wayans is fresh off of his critically acclaimed role as Will’s long-lost father Lou on Peacock’s Bel-Air. After years of wondering about who his father was, Will found out the truth when Lou showed up and revealed he was in prison, and didn’t want his son to see him that way, so he made Vy and Phil promise not to bring him for visits. It was an emotional moment viewers weren’t expecting from The Wayans Brothers star. Producers have been cagey on whether Lou will be back in Season 2, but we can’t imagine the story between Will and his father is anywhere near finished.
