The Saved by the Bell revival stars Dexter Darden, Josie Totah, Haskiri Velazquez, Mitchell Hoog, Alycia Pascual-Pena, and Belmont Cameli. They are joined by returning original cast members including Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley Lauren as series regulars along with Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani Thiessen, and Lark Voorhies to recur.
“In Season 2 of Peacock’s hit comedy Saved by the Bell, Bayside High gears up to compete in the Southern California School Spirit Competition,” reads the official synopsis. “Daisy is determined not to get sidetracked by ‘Bayside nonsense,’ but when a cute new student is elected student council VP, she finds herself in way over her head. Mac sees the competition as a way to finally step out from his father’s shadow. Jamie leans on Lexi in the wake of his parents’ divorce while Lexi struggles to be a more understanding girlfriend; Aisha seeks a new outlet after football is canceled; DeVante finds love with a rich Bayside girl, and Slater and a newly single Jessie grow closer despite their tumultuous romantic past.”
The first season addressed many important topics such as race, inclusion, class, and education. In the season finale, Daisy (Haskiri Velazquez) stages a walkout in order to keep the Douglas High students at Bayside.
