The Bayside gang is getting back together.
Another series is getting the reboot treatment with multiple outlets confirming that NBCUniversal’s streaming service working on a new Saved by the Bell series.
The series will reunite two original stars who will reprise their roles in the comedy —Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the streamer is in talks for other original stars to return.
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.”
The series hails from Great News creator Tracey Wigfield. Wigfield will also showrun and exec produce alongside original series creator Peter Engel and Franco Bario. Lopez and Berkley will also produce.
NBCU’s newly-named streaming platform, Peacock, will launch April 2020.
