Have you ever woke up in the morning and the ‘larm gave out a warning? Did you ever think you’ll ever make it on time but by the time you grab your books and you give yourself a look, you’re at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by? It’s alright cause your saved by the bell.
In other words, Saved by the Bell is back!
The popular 1990s high school-set sitcom has gotten the reboot treatment by NBC’s upcoming streaming service Peacock and NBC has released the reboot’s first teaser trailer.
As seen in the video above, the teaser focuses on Lopez’s A.C. Slater, who has returned to Bayside High School as the new gym teacher.
In the reboot, California Governor Zack Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) will find himself in trouble for closing too many low-income high schools and then propose that the affected students be sent to the highest-performing schools in the state — including Bayside High. The influx of new students will give the overprivileged Bayside kids a much-needed dose of reality.
There are a lot of new faces gracing the halls of Bayside High, including Josie Totah, Mitchell Hoog, Belmont Cameli, Dexter Darden, Haskiri Velazquez, and Alycia Pascual-Pena. Slater, who is now the high school’s gym teacher, has an interesting exchange with young Mac Morris (Hoog), son of Governor Morris and his longtime love Kelly Kapowski (Tiffani Thiessen), and Jesse’s son, Jamie Spano (Cameli), in his office.
Several of the original cast members such as Mario Lopez, Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Elizabeth Berkley are reprising their roles in the show.
With production halted as the show neared completion, it’s unknown when the new Saved by the Bell will launch on the NBCUniversal streamer. However, Peacock recently expressed confidence that the series could still premiere in 2020.
