Also new to the series is John Michael Higgins who plays Principal Toddman. Returning to star and executive produce are Mario Lopez, Elizabeth Berkley, and Mark Paul Gosselaar, who reprise their roles as AC Slater, Jessie Spano, and Governor Zack Morris, respectively.

California governor Zack Morris (Gosselaar) gets into hot water for closing too many low-income high schools and proposes they send 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.

Created by Sam Bobrick, Tracey Wigfield serves as showrunner, writer, and executive producer with Peter Engel and Franco Bario. Engel and Bario also performed the same duties on the original 1989 series.

The new Saved by the Bell sequel series is expected to air this fall on NBCU's Peacock.
