On Monday, NBC announced that their new streaming service Peacock is doing a Saved By the Bell reboot with Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley. They also said that Zack is the Governor now and he is shutting down low-income schools.
Later that night, Variety spoke to Nark-Paul Gosselaar about it at and asked him how feels about the revival. He told them, “I read it in the trades just like everybody else this morning.” Then added, “I haven’t been approached,” and that he was a little taken off guard with the news. He had no idea they were this far along with the project.
Gosselaar understands that he might not be a part of the show because he is starring in the ABC sitcom Mixed-ish, who owns the streaming site Disney+, there might be a conflict for him to do something on a competitor’s show. If both of them could come up with an agreement, then he would do the reboot. That is if they ask him.
If I were him, I would tell his castmates screw you. Well, I would use other words. I mean how messed up is it that they did not even tell him this was a done deal. Not knocking the rest of the cast, but out of all of them, he is doing the best. He and Tiffani-Amber Theissen are the only ones who are still acting in gigs. They don’t need the show like the other ones.
However, they still should have told him. At least, the Beverly Hills, 90210 cast kept their co-stars in the loops.
Do we really want a SBTB reboot without Zack Morris and Kelly Taylor? Granted we don’t know if Theissen is available to be part of it because she has a show on Netflix, another streaming site. Or if they even told her about it.
I always thought these four were tight and would only do the reboot together. I guess they are not as tight as I thought.
BTW Is just me or does he seem kind of hurt that he did not know about the show?

i think he was a little upset about it, if lopez is close to him and didn’t tell him it makes sense
