Elizabeth Berkley and Mario Lopez will star in a new SavedByTheBell series

Per a press release confirming the revival, which has been rumored for more than a year, the new show imagines a world where Zack is now governor of California , but he’s in political trouble for “closing too many low-income high schools.” To fix his political problem, Governor Morris decides to “send the affected students to the highest-performing schools in the state — including Bayside High.
The Peacock-provided logline seems to suggest Gosselaar will not be a series regular, and his name isn’t listed among the credits provided for the show. That’s no doubt because the actor is contractually committed to Mixed-ish and it’s unlikely he’ll be available to appear in the new Saved by the Bell.
As for Berkley and Lopez, they’ll presumably reprise their roles as Jessie Spano and A. C. Slater, who were a couple on the show for much of its run. The two last appeared together in character in the 1994 reunion film Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas, which essentially served as a series finale for the original show, following the disastrous spinoff Saved by the Bell: The College Years.
Saved by the Bell isn’t the only NBC comedy oldie in line for a revival at Peacock. A previously reported revival of the ’80s family sitcom Punky Brewster starring Soleil Moon Frye has officially landed at the nascent streamer, though the platform hasn’t committed to make anything beyond a pilot episode at this point.
