"We're grateful to Tracey, [producer] 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 statement continued.

NBC's original Saved by the Bell, which aired for four seasons from 1989-1993, was a retooled version of the short-lived Disney Channel show Good Morning, Miss Bliss. It was followed by Saved by the Bell: The College Years (1993-1994) and Saved by the Bell: The New Class (1993-2000).

Peacock's Saved by the Bell premiered in November 2020 as an updated take on the original series that starred many original cast members, including Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani Thiessen, Mario Lopez, Elizabeth Berkley and Lark Voorhies.

Other stars Haskiri Velazquez, Mitchell Hoog, Josie Totah, Alycia Pascual-Peña, Belmont Cameli, Dexter Darden and John Michael Higgins rounded out the cast.

Sharing a statement to Twitter on the news of the series' cancellation, Gosselaar, 48, wrote: "So disappointed by this news. So many talented individuals in all departments creating something original from a reboot.

"Respect and admiration to everyone involved and thanks to the viewers," the actor, who famously played Zack Morris, added.

Saved By the Bell's two seasons will continue to be available to stream on Peacock.
