'Saved By The Bell' Sequel Finds Lead in The Form of Josie Totah

Saved By The Bell is getting a sequel. But that's already been out for a while, what's latest news is that the show has found it's lead in the form of actor Josie Totah.

Totah found her breakout role in the form of Champions and has now been roped in to play the lead in the comedy, Saved By The Bell. 

The series is expected to launch this year on NBCUniversal's forthcoming streamer Peacock.

Original stars Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley will reprise their roles as A.C. Slater and Jessie Spano, respectively, in the single-camera comedy that explores what happens when California Gov. Zack Morris (Mark Gosselaar's role) gets into hot water for closing too many low-income high schools and proposes the affected students be sent to the highest-performing schools in the state — including Bayside High.

Totah will star as Lexi, a beautiful, sharp-tongued cheerleader and the most popular girl at Bayside High who is both admired and feared by her fellow students.
