'Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story' on Lifetime: Movie About Famous '90s Show Cast Members Release Date Set
Buzzfeed reported back in June this year that Lifetime was already producing a behind-the-scenes movie about "Saved by the Bell." Now, the first clip of pure '90s nostalgia has been released online, featuring the early '90s "cast" having an in-character photo shoot. The show that was popular in the early '90s is considered to be one of the television shows that changed Saturday mornings, featuring America's favorite teens.
"The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story" will be about six teens who are placed under the spotlight of Hollywood as they face challenges of being the target of public scrutiny as they grow up, trying to keep the nice and clean image of their popular characters.
While the TV movie follows the incarnation of the series that ran from 1989-1993, some characters first appeared in the 1988 television series "Good Morning, Miss Bliss," according to IGN. The movie will be following the high school characters in California despite the show's original version taking place in Indianapolis.
Dylan Everett will be portraying the role of Mark-Paul Gosselaar; Alyssa Lynch will be playing Tiffani-Amber Thiessen; Sam Kindseth as Dustin Diamond; Julian Works as Mario Lopez; Taylor Russell Mckenzie as Lark Voorhies; and Tiera Skovbye will be appearing as Elizabeth Berkley in the upcoming TV movie.
"The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell" was cast by Robin Lippin, who was the original casting director of the show, and it will be hitting television screens on Sept. 1 at 9 p.m. ET on Lifetime. It is produced by Ringaling Productions Ltd. and Front Street Pictures with executive producers Stephen Bulka and Harvey Kahn and will be broadcasted by Lifetime. Jason Lapeyre will be directing the film, while Ron McGee wrote the teleplay, according to Variety.
This show will probably succeed in grabbing the attention of '90s kids. Whether in a good or a bad way, they will have to wait until Sept. 1 to find out.
