A Saved By the Bell reboot is officially in the works at NBCUniversal’s streaming service.
NBCU’s newly named streaming platform, Peacock, is bringing back the Bayside gang for a new Saved by the Bell series.
According to the logline, the revival will see California governor Zack Morris in hot water for closing too many low-income high schools. When he suggests sending the affected students to the highest-performing schools in the state — including Bayside High — the influx of new students “gives the overprivileged Bayside kids a much-needed and hilarious dose of reality.”
According to sources, the service has currently tapped two original stars to reprise their roles in the comedy —Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley. The streamer is also in talks for other original stars to return.
The series hails from Great News creator Tracey Wigfield.
Peacock is scheduled to launch in April 2020.
