Apple Music's Carpool Karaoke Series Trailer

Carpool Karaoke has proved such a sensation that it's earned its very own spinoff, the first trailer of which sees host James Corden rap The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song with Will Smith.

The duo can also be seen ditching the car in favour of a helicopter for a witty rendition of R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly."

This new series, which is set to be released via Apple Music, won't always be fronted by The Late Late Show host Corden.

In fact, the trailer shows off some unique pairings including Billy Eichner and Metallica, Seth MacFarlane and Ariana Grande as well as wrestler John Cena and former NBA professional Shaquille O'Neal.

The decision to expand the segment comes after every new video becomes a viral sensation, racking up millions of views on YouTube.

Singers to have joined Corden include One Direction, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. Even former First Lady Michelle obama got involved in th action.

Carpool Karaoke: The Series will span 16 half-hour episodes.

Corden presented this year's Grammy Awards at the weekend briefly doffing his cap to the segment with a star-studded rendition of Neil Diamond song “Sweet Caroline.”
