Lark Voorhies - Saved by the Bell

The highly anticipated reimagining of Saved by the Bell will premiere on Wednesday, Nov. 25 on Peacock. Lark Voorhies to make special appearance as "Lisa Turtle" in Peacock's new Saved by the Bell series. Peacock released a new Saved by the Bell trailer last week. 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.
