'Saved By The Bell' Renewed: Cast Reacts To Season 2 Announcement
The “Saved By The Bell” reboot has officially been renewed for a second season after a successful first season on Peacock, NBC Universal's streaming platform.
While the show isn’t the same as the 1990s sitcom, it’s a modern version that appreciates (and lovingly mocks) the original. When the government shuts down a low-income school, the privileged kids at Bayside High must get to know the more underprivileged kids from the school that was closed and navigate high school together while dealing with both romance and drama.
Mario Lopez, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffany Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkley Lauren and Lark Voorhies were the original cast members featured in the reboot.
The newbies on the show included Haskiri Velazquez, Josie Totah, Alycia Pascual-Peña, Mitchell Hoog, Belmont Cameli, Dexter Darden and John Michael Higgins.
The second season will be 10-episodes, just like the first, but which of the original cast will be returning this time is unknown, Entertainment Weekly reported.
"I'm thrilled that 'Saved by the Bell' has been renewed. I've been blown away by all the love for the show and can't wait to go back and make more episodes. Hopefully, we stay on Peacock for many more seasons, and then in 30 years, somebody does a reboot of our reboot and invents the three boot,” Tracey Wigfield, the executive producer and writer said.
Mario Lopez, who stars and produces the series, shared his excitement on Twitter.
Other cast members also reacted with enthusiasm. On-screen besties Alycia Pascual-Peña (Aisha) and Haskiri Velazquez (Daisy) both shared the Season 2 news on Instagram.
Fans seem to be excited about this renewal and are looking forward to the release of the new season.
Information about the release of "Saved by the Bell" Season 2 hasn’t been released.
Viewers can watch the entire first season of the reboot on Peacock.
