Saved By The Bell reboot. (Tyler Golden/Peacock)
The new iteration of the series follows what happens when an underprivileged high school gets shut down thanks to Zack Morris, now California s governor and all of that school s kids get sent to Bayside. I think it s not been what people expected it to be when they saw that
Saved By The Bell was starting again,
Saved By The Bell director Kabir Akhtar told LAist. Which I think is a good thing, to come back and check out an old universe that you know, but see the way it s changed. Because all of us have changed since watching
✖
Saved by the Bell cast and if they received any words of wisdom from the veteran actors. Mario [Lopez] and Elizabeth [Berkley] could not have been more welcoming, more kind, more genuine, Darden shared. And you know, they ve been through it before. They ve been through the ups and downs. They ve been through the ringer, they understand what it s like to be in the show with such history. So they were just trying to guide us in the best way possible and contributing advice here or there. And just letting us know, like, Listen, I know this is going to be a rough ride. Something that you guys might not necessarily be used to, but we re here for you and we support you. And they really poured into each and every one of us individually.
The
Saved by the Bell reboot is now streaming on Peacock and there are so many things about the new show to enjoy. While it s beyond amazing to see most of the original cast members return, one of the show s great joys is the new cast of Bayside High students. ComicBook.com recently had the chance to chat with some of the young actors, including Dexter Darden (Devante Young), Haskiri Velazquez (Daisy Jiménez), Mitchell Hoog (Mac Morris), and Belmont Cameli (Jamie Spano). One thing we couldn t help but ask about is the show s big love triangle between Jamie, Lexi (Josie Totah), and Aisha (Alycia Pascual-Peña). Like all teen shows, the love triangle has been a hot topic on social media, so we asked Cameli if he has chosen a side for his character.
Fans of the early-90s teen hit
Saved by the Bell were quite surprised to hear that, after several decades, the show was getting a revival that would allow us to catch up with many of our old favorites, as well as be introduced to new characters. One of those brand new teens who s now dealing with high school hijinks at Bayside is Mac Morris, son to original characters Zack Morris and Kelly Kapowski. Mac and Zack are basically twinning when it comes to the father / son looks game, and Mac s portrayer Mitchell Hoog has now spoken about how they perfectly matched Mark-Paul Gosselaar s famous blonde Zack hair.
The
Saved by the Bell reboot is finally here and ComicBook.com has been chatting with some of Bayside High s newest students. We recently spoke with Dexter Darden (Devante Young) who revealed he wants to be in Michael B. Jordan s
Static Shock movie. Another
Saved by the Bell star we had the chance to talk to was Mitchell Hoog who plays Zack and Kelly s son, Mac Morris. In the reboot s final episode, Mac checks his phone and confusingly asks, What s coronavirus?, indicating that the series potential second season could focus on the pandemic. While speaking with Hoog, we asked if he knows if they plan to incorporate COVID-19 in season two, and how much of the first season was filmed after the pandemic shutdown.
