“Saved by the Bell” just will never go away. After the original series became a hit in the ‘90s, the show lived on with the cast going off to work at a resort, then off to college, and eventually getting married. Then, to keep the brand alive, the show tried “The New Class” approach. Now, decades later, “Saved by the Bell” returns with the old cast introducing a new, modern group of students at Bayside High.

As seen in the trailer for Peacock’s revival of “Saved by the Bell,” the show finds AC Slater, Jesse Spano, Zack Morris, and Kelly Kapowski all grown up and moving on from their lives at Bayside. Well, Jesse and Slater are still working at their own stomping grounds, but at least Zack and Kelly moved on, with the former becoming the Governor of California because…why not? But really, the show is all about the new kids, as they find themselves in the same sort of hijinks that fans have come to expect from “Saved by the Bell.” You know, like dancing around your living room, going to the ‘50s-style diner run by a creepy magician, and pausing time and space with a simple “time-out” hand gesture.
In addition to the returning actors such as Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffany Amber Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkley Lauren, and Mario Lopez, the new show stars John Michael Higgins, Belmont Cameli, Dexter Darden, Mitchell Hoog, Alycia Pascual-Peña, Josie Totah, and Haskiri Velazquez.
“Saved by the Bell” arrives on Peacock on November 25. You can watch the full trailer below.
Here’s the synopsis:
In the new series, when California governor Zack Morris gets into hot water for closing too many underfunded high schools, he proposes they send the affected students to the most well-funded schools in the state – including Bayside High. The influx of new students gives the privileged Bayside kids (who never have a problem that can’t be solved in twenty-two minutes) a much-needed dose of reality.
