Like many celebrities, Will Smith is turning to social media to express himself while he self isolates. He partnered with Snapchat for a 12-episode original series called Will From Home. He will be connecting with friends, family, and celebrity guests who are staying at home as well. The first guest was model and TV personality, Tyra Banks. New episodes will appear on the social network on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

According to Sean Mills, Snapchat's head of original content, the show came about after discussions between the company and Smith's production company, Westbrook Media, discussed how the constraints of the global shutdown give way for "new forms of creativity and new ways to tell stories." And while Snapchat is stepping up with more content related to COVID-19 updates, the social network finds an uptick of interest in entertainment-related content. Smith's new show fits right into this category.
