Saved by the Bell
Bayside's back. Get so excited.
Created by Tracey Wigfield
On Peacock
A comedic reboot that pairs nostalgia for the original with social commentary about class and privilege, structured as a warm ensemble sitcom with episodic reset.
When California governor Zack Morris gets into hot water for closing too many low-income high schools, he proposes they send the affected students to the highest performing schools in the state – including Bayside High. The influx of new students gives the over privileged Bayside kids a much needed and hilarious dose of reality.
