*NBCUniversal has dropped the first teaser of the “Saved by the Bell” reboot for the upcoming streaming service Peacock.
Original series stars Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley are reprising their respective characters of A.C. Slater and Jessie Spano.
Fans can also expect occasional appearances from Mark-Paul Gosselaar as Zack Morris (now Governor of California) and Tiffani Thiessen as Kelly Kapowski.
“Remember how much fun high school used to be?” asks Slater in the trailer, who is now Bayside High’s gym teacher.
“Can you believe that was almost 30 years ago?!” replies Jessie.
The clip also introduces Mac Morris, the privileged son of Governor Morris and Jamie Spano, Jessie’s son and captain of the Bayside football team.
“When I was in high school, I used to constantly fight with my best friend over a hot girl,” Slater says, before facing Mac. “That was actually your dad! Oh, with your mom!”
“Then I found this other girl that I really liked and I started hooking up with her instead,” he then says, facing Jamie. “Oh wait, that was your mom!”
Check out the teaser via Berkley’s Instagram post below.

The new Bell will debut later this year, though not with Dustin Diamond, who played Screech on the original series, and Lark Voorhies, the object of his affection.
“I’m one of the rare people who was in every episode . . . And that’s not the case anymore, if I’m not in the new one,” Diamond said to TMZ in February,. “And how do you have Saved by the Bell without Screech? Right? It seems like there’s a missed opportunity there. What’s the old saying about cutting off the hand? Cutting off the finger to spite the hand? Or, cutting off the nose to save or spite the face? Something like that.”
Earlier this year, Lark also shared that she was hurt by not being asked to return for the reboot. She was also not invited to the cast reunion.
Appearing on “The Dr. Oz Show” to dish about her mental health issues, Voorhies read from a journal entry she had written that detailed her feelings about the diss.
“It reads, this is a question to the reunion,” she read. “I have to admit I did feel a bit slighted and hurt when I was not invited to be part of the Saved by the Bell reunion, as well as other cast members’ events. Yet of course, I also realized that having this puzzling disorder may have played a major part in that factual decision.”
She added, “With that in mind, I am truly thankful for having had the chance to work on a show that has been so successful.”
“Saved by the Bell” aired on NBC from August 20, 1989 to May 22, 1993. The show follows a group of high school friends and their principal.
