It’s almost time for the premiere of the Saved by the Bell revival, so grab your books and give yourself a look before class is in session at Bayside High just in time for Thanksgiving.

Peacock is set to release all 10 new episodes featuring many returning characters who will be sharing updates as to what they’ve been up to all these years. But you don't have to be an OG fan to dive into this comedy series, there's a whole new set of Bayside Tigers with adventures of their own to share.

So how will series executive producer Tracey Wigfield and her talented team of writers meld these two generations together? Here's the scoop.

What's it about?

A new flock of students is transferring to Bayside High after Governor Zack Morris implements controversial tax cuts that shut down schools in working-class neighborhoods. The new kids join the established student body, who come from privileged backgrounds like Governor Morris' son Mac (Mitchell Hoog) and Dr. Jessie Spano's son (Belmont Cameli). The glue bringing the new and established students together is principal Toddman (John Michael Higgins), but can he help keep them all out of trouble?
