The series was developed by Emmy winner Tracey Wigfield and featured most of the original cast reprising their roles, including Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Elizabeth Berkley, and Mario Lopez, as well as new cast members including Haskiri Velazquez, Mitchell Hoog, Alycia Pascual-Pena, and Josie Totah. The original Saved by the Bell ran for four seasons from 1989 to 1993.

Saved By The Bellreceived positive notice from critics with many complimenting the performances and self-awareness. The show was also said to have strong ratings on Peacock, despite only being available on the paid tier of Peacock Premium.
