Will They Reboot Saved by the Bell Again?
Saved by the Bellwas back in action… for a short amount of time, at least. A reboot of the series aired on Peacock for two seasons from November 2020 to December 2021, and starred Thiessen as her beloved character, who was still married to her longtime love, Zack Morris. However, the reboot didn’t stick. When asked if she thought another one was possible, Thiessen spoke candidly.
“I don’t think so. I think they tried it,” she toldPEOPLElast year. Even though it didn’t last, Thiessen made it clear she “loved the reboot.”
“It only lasted two seasons, sadly,” she added. “[But] who knows? There are other shows that are in my sort of realm that are further along in possibly getting a reboot.”
