Axed: Saved by the Bell

Rebooted 1990s teen series, Saved by the Bell has been axed by Peacock in the US after two seasons.

“We are so proud to have been the home of the next iteration of Saved by the Bell for both new and OG fans,” Peacock said in a statement. “Saved by the Bell has been a cultural mainstay for more than 30 years and the new series, led by Tracey Wigfield’s superfan enthusiasm and signature witty humor, seamlessly continued the show’s legacy, all while allowing more audiences to feel seen. We’re grateful to Tracey, Franco Bario, our partners at UTV, the beloved cast, and the fans who have continued to champion one of the most iconic shows of all time.”

The cast included Haskiri Velazquez, Mitchell Hoog, Josie Totah, Alycia Pascual-Peña, Belmont Cameli, Dexter Darden, John Michael Higgins and original cast members Elizabeth Berkley Lauren and Mario Lopez.

The show, which won a GLAAD Media Award for best comedy series in April, tackled gender, race and class issues alongside its jokes.

It screened in Australia on Stan.
