Saved by the Bell Reboot Launching November 25; HBO Orders Weekly Talk Show with Sam Jay

It's alright 'cause I'm saved by the bell! The highly anticipated reimagining of Saved by the Bell is set to premiere Wednesday, Nov. 25 on Peacock! In the new series, when California governor Zack Morris gets into hot water for closing too many underfunded high schools, he proposes they send the affected students to the most well-funded schools in the state - including Bayside High. The influx of new students gives the privileged Bayside kids (who never have a problem that can't be solved in twenty-two minutes) a much-needed dose of reality. Elizabeth Berkley Lauren and Mario Lopez star in the new Saved by the Bell series, reprising their roles as Jessie Spano and A.C. Slater. John Michael Higgins also stars as Principal Toddman alongside the new class featuring Belmont Cameli, Dexter Darden, Mitchell Hoog, Alycia Pascual-Peña, Josie Totah and Haskiri Velazquez.
Tracey Wigfield serves as writer and executive producer for the series, alongside executive producer Franco Bario. Peter Engel also serve as executive producer. Saved by the Bell is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
HBO has given a series order for a weekly late-night show from Emmy(R) nominated comedian and writer Sam Jay (Saturday Night Live) and Emmy(R) nominated executive producer Prentice Penny (Insecure). The series will debut in 2021 on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. The Untitled Sam Jay Project will be a weekly 30-minute late-night show in which Sam tackles the top trending topics in urban and world culture for the week - including race, politics, sexual identity, science, celebrity, religion, and more - and examines them from her unique and subversive point of view.
