The Saved by the Bell reboot had no right to be good, but when it first appeared in 2020, we lauded it as one of the "funniest shows of the year." Ultimately, though, it was only able to make it two seasons, as Peacock announced the show's cancellation
"We are so proud to have been the home of the next iteration of 'Saved by the Bell' for both new and OG fans," Peacock said in a statement, as reported by Deadline.
"'Saved by the Bell’ has been a cultural mainstay for more than 30 years and the new series, led by Tracey Wigfield’s superfan enthusiasm and signature witty humor, seamlessly continued the show’s legacy, all while allowing more audiences to feel seen. We’re grateful to Tracey, Franco Bario, our partners at UTV, the beloved cast, and the fans who have continued to champion one of the most iconic shows of all time."
Developed by Wigfield, a 30 Rock veteran, it had all the manic energy of the Tina Fey vehicle, and it only got crazier in its second season. It played with the premise of the original show, casting Zack Morris as the governor of California among other odd turns. It also included a touching tribute to Dustin Diamond, the actor who portrayed Screech, who died last year.
Saved by the Bell originally premiered in 1989 and ran until 1993, going on to become one of the iconic sitcoms of the 90s. Follow-ups included the considerably less popular Saved by the Bell: The College Years as well as Saved by the Bell: The New Class, which ran until 2000.
