First Look: Saved By The Bell Pictures

Published

Think you know everything about Saved By The Bell? Wrong.

Lifetime’s The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story  is about to crush all of your 80’s memories. The  released  clip goes behind to scenes to show what it was really like on the set and what the relationship was like between our favorite Bayside High teens.  Hint: everyone apparently hated each other. 

The first sneak peek clip (which unfortunately was removed from the Lifetime Youtube channel)  takes place at a photo-shoot, circa 1990, where all the cast members are fighting and bickering, while trying to maintain character.  Well, at least the actors portraying the actors of SBTB. The clip shows Lark upset with Mark and Tiffani for getting all the attention. Dustin is annoyed of Mario constantly showing off his buffness in between takes, while Elizabeth can’t stand Mario’s sweatiness. 

The TV-movie stars Dylan Everett (Degrassi: The Next Generation) as Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Sam Kindseth (Shameless) as Dustin Diamond, Julian Works (Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones) as Mario Lopez, Alyssa Lynch as Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, Tiera Skovbye (Supernatural) as Elizabeth Berkleyand Taylor Russell McKenzie (Blink) as Lark Voorhies.

The movie is based loosely on Dustin Diamond’s tell-all memoir Behind the Bell. Diamond’s book recalls the apparent drama between cast members, plus reveals that there was a lot of drugs and sex behind the scenes.

 Mark Paul Gosslear who portrayed Zach has spoken out about the inaccuracy of the book stating that he was not aware everyone hated each other and all he has are fond memories of his SBTB times. “It is negative. That I must say. Everything I’ve heard about his book is it is negative. I don’t remember those things. My experience on the show was very positive,” Gosslear said.

Gosslear’s Franklin and Bash co-star Breckin Meyer, also chimed in stating,  “I know Elizabeth, Tiffani and Mario and everyone has nothing but like awesome [things] to say about that except for Dustin.”

Directed by Saved by the Bell’s original casting director Robin Lippin, The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story hits airwaves September 1 at 9pm on Lifetime.

In the meantime, enjoy the exclusive photos from the set! Although, I’m kind of upset with the casting. Aside from Mark, Dustin and Lark, the other’s look nothing like the characters their portraying. Although Dustin is a dead ringer for Screech, don’t you think? But come on, you couldn’t cast a better Tiffani Amber Thiessen? Kelly Kapowski deserves better. So does Slater…. I mean, what’s with that face?

Is ‘Alaska Daily’ Renewed for a Second Season?

Published

Alaska Daily Recap Season 1 Episode 5 I Have No Idea What You're Talking About, Eileen

Alaska Daily is one of the best and most refreshing shows coming out of this fall/winter TV cycle, with Hilary Swank as Eileen Fitzgerald, a disgraced journalist who finds a new home in Alaska, bringing coverage to the often overlooked (purposefully ignored) stories of murderer indigenous women alongside her partner-in-crime, Roz Friendly played by Grace Dove. 

With the season finale scheduled to air on ABC on Thursday, March 30, marking the season’s 11th episode, many fans are wondering if the network will renew the series for Season 2 and allow audiences to follow Eileen’s adventures of pursuing truth and justice on a local scale. 

So far, there’s no word from ABC on whether or not a renewal is on the books, though a verdict is expected to come sometime after the Alaska Daily Season 1 finale airs. 

But while the series has amassed a loyal and dedicated following—with many of you reaching out to me and noting that you wish the show received more publicity and promotion from the network itself—there might not be enough love for ABC to justify a renewal.

The series hasn’t been able to build up the audience or gain the momentum it needs in its short primetime run, which honestly, is a shame because of the important storytelling and refreshing and diverse cast propelling meaningful conversations and calling for change and action.

As Deadline reports, the series has “sizable internal support but has not been able to break through in a meaningful way, making a Season 2 renewal unlikely.”

Still, I remain hopeful that ABC will consider a renewal as ratings, though down a bit from the series premiere, bring in about 2.7 million viewers weekly, according to TVSeriesFinale.

When a decision about the fate of the series does eventually come down, we’ll update this article accordingly!

When Is Season 3 of ‘Ginny and Georgia’ Coming Out?

When Will Season 3 of Ginny and Georgia Premiere

Ginny and Georgia centers on the heartwarming yet extremely complicated bond between a mother and her daughter after they put down roots in a New England town. 

With so many compelling storylines and incredible characters of all ages, it’s no wonder that the coming-of-age drama has become a fan favorite among Netflix audiences. 

The second season of Ginny and Georgia premiered on Jan. 5, 2023, which means that a third season is likely far off, especially considering Brianne Howey, who plays Georgia, just announced her first pregnancy, which will possibly delay filming.

Of course, Netflix has to renew the series for a third season. As of March 28, 2023, it has not given the show a green light for additional episodes. 

Fans shouldn’t be too worried, however, as a renewal is very likely considering the show’s performance, the rabid fan base, and the fact that season 3 ended on such a cliffhanger—Netflix knows that fans will be clamoring for another season to see how the situation resolves itself. 

As for a premiere date, well, there isn’t one just yet. Until the series is renewed and production begins, it’s a bit too difficult to come up with a date for new episodes. The season could likely arrive in February 2024 if we’re looking at the previous premieres for both seasons 1 and 2, which both debuted at the start of 2021 and 2023, respectively.

But with Howey’s pregnancy thrown into the mix, that could delay things a bit, and it wouldn’t be the worst thing if the series returned during the summer when there’s a lull in content and fans are seeking out something to binge-watch and get invested in. 

Either way, when Netflix makes an official decision, you’ll be the first to know as we’ll update this article accordingly! 

Until then, you can gear up for the final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Riverdale, and Firefly Lane
