The Peacock comedy will return for another 10-episode season. “I’m thrilled that Saved by the Bell has been renewed,” said executive producer Tracey Wigfield, who created the reboot, in a statement. “I’ve been blown away by all the love for the show and can’t wait to go back and make more episodes. Hopefully we stay on Peacock for many more seasons, and then in 30 years, somebody does a reboot of our reboot and invents the threeboot.” Saved by the Bell is the No. 1 show on Peacock and the second show to be renewed, following A.P. Bio.

Great for The SBTB reboot on a renewal

Josie Totah says she's been instrumental in making sure Saved by the Bell's Seasson 2 writers' room is more inclusive

"It's authentic and I'm so grateful that our showrunner and creator Tracey Wigfield gave me this role and this position to be creative, but also to make sure that we're telling our stories authentically and accurately," says Totah, adding: "I'm so beyond proud that we actually have hired this season several other Latinx writers and also an incredible trans writer, which I'm very excited about."

I hope that the DVD doesn't take forever to be released.

God bless you always!!!

Wigfield will still try to look forward to include Leanna Creel as Tori Scott to fill in the spot and replace where both deceased actor Dustin Diamond and Screech Powers used to be.

Saved by the Bell's Lark Voorhies reunites with Tiffani Thiessen and Elizabeth Berkely at Bayside High

Voorhies is apparently filming on the second season of Peacock's Saved by the Bell revival, according to Berkley's Instagram post this morning. "These ladies… what a gift to get to work together again," wrote Berkley. "We have a special history that is beyond… we worked hard together as kids to make a show that people still love, we did high school together and our parents all looked out for us too as we were minors when we started. It was a safe place to grow up and now we get to take those sweet roots and fly together as women. Don’t you love those connections that have history where you just get right to it with no explaining? It’s so comforting and we can’t wait to share some magic with you when season 2 comes out !"

P.S. I pray that everything that could be done was done for Dustin Diamond. He will always be missed.

The ableisms should be almost finished on both resolving and eliminating right now. But if there are any adultisms that cannot be both resolved and eliminated at all, then there can be additional emergency they might insist of bringing actress Samantha Becker as Maria Lopez back as a recurring adult guest only, just in case. If that works, then her lines as a recurring guest will be in a rebooted position, TBH, IMO.

Saved by the Bell reboot's Season 2 will have a "substantial" tribute to Dustin Diamond and his character Screech

Executive producer Franco Bario, who also produced the original series, tells Variety he spoke with Diamond ahead of the Season 1 premiere to “fill him in on the Screech mentions in the first season and how those may lead us to possible stories that would include him in Season 2.” After Diamond’s passing on Feb. 3, Bario and showrunner Tracey Wigfield knew they had to do something substantial to celebrate him as an actor and Screech as a character in the second season instead. “I didn’t know him and I hadn’t met him,” says Wigfield. But “just thinking about it as a fan, I knew we wanted to do more than just putting a picture of him up at the end.” As a result, original cast members Elizabeth Berkley Lauren, Mario Lopez, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani Thiessen and Lark Voorhies all agreed to do a scene that would have them remembering Diamond and Screech. “At the beginning of this season, we already were coming into writing Season 2 (where) obviously Dustin was one thing, but we also were like in a pandemic and in general in the first episode, everyone was feeling the same sense of everyone understands how heavy this last year has been,” says Wigfield. “It would have been wrong to not acknowledge that in a real way and to not have our OG characters mourning this character that we’ll never get to see again. That, I wanted to put on the screen, but I just wanted to make sure we were being as sensitive as possible. There was a real guy who had people who loved him. You don’t want to make any jokes or talk about it in any way that might hurt anyone’s feelings.”

^^^ Thanks for the news. I haven't watched any of the new show yet. Now I don't know if I ever will. Screech was my favorite. Its not fair that he doesn't get to be a part of the show like everyone else.

God bless you and his family always!!!

Yeah, he's more connected to deceased former original SBTB creator Sam Bobrick than his castmates, you should know that. But the other person that should join Mark, Mario, Tiffani, Elizabeth and Lark is Leanna Creel, who plays Tori Scott, to also pay tribute to Dustin Diamond.

So far, this sitcom is trying to continuously cut down more on mental ableisms, but it might have a hard time cutting down more on adultisms. If adultisms cutdown cannot speed up, then there can a chance that we may need, as in emergency reasonably, actress Samantha Becker to guest appear in this revived sitcom as Maria Lopez recurringly, TBH, IMO.

To me, a great way to keep Screech around is if his robot named Kevin was shown in whatever way an appearance from him can be done.

God bless you always!!!
