Saved By The Bell How Old The Returning Characters Are In The Reboot

The Saved By The Bell reboot brought back Zack, Kelly, Slater, Jessie, and Lisa, but how long has it been since they last walked the hall of Bayside High and how old are they now? While the original series didn’t have much in the way of continuity or a timeline, it is still possible to roughly calculate the characters’ ages.

Originally airing for one season as Good Morning, Miss Bliss on the Disney Channel, Saved By The Bell was picked up by NBC and reworked into a Saturday morning sitcom aimed at tweens and teens. The new series centered around the antics of Zack Morris; a trickster in the same vein as Ferris Bueller, who ran various hustles in a bid to become rich and famous and win the heart of his dream girl, cheerleader Kelly Kapowski. His main rival for Kelly’s heart was star athlete A.C. Slater, who eventually started a romance with Zack’s best friend, overachiever Jessie Spano. The rest of the show’s core cast also included fashionista Lisa Turtle and super-genius Screech Powers. The reboot series finds Zack and Kelly married, with a teenage son now attending their old high school, Bayside High, where Slater is now employed as a physical education instructor and Jessie (who has a son of her own) is a guidance counselor.

The Saved By The Bell finale revealed that Zack, Kelly, Slater, Jessie, Screech, and Lisa all graduated as part of Bayside High’s Class of 1993. Presuming they were all 17 or 18 at that time, this would make them all 44 or 45 in 2020, when the revamp is set. Unfortunately, there’s no clues indicating just how old Mr. Belding might have been or what happened to him in the 20 years since he ran Bayside High.

While it ran for four seasons, it is generally accepted that the events of the original Saved By The Bell series did not take place over four years. The consensus among fans is that most of the first two seasons made up the original cast’s sophomore year in high school. The last five episodes of Season 2 and the whole of Season 3 make up the cast’s junior year and the summer following their junior year. The fourth and final season, which ended with everyone graduating, is agreed to be entirely set during the gang’s senior year.

With this rough timeline set, we can begin to look at specific clues to the cast’s ages. The Season 2 episode “Driver’s Education” revealed that Zack was 15 years old and that Slater would be turning 16 before him. Zack was never given a precise date of birth, but he celebrated his birthday in early summer during the first of the Malibu Sands episodes in late Season 3, where the teens got jobs working at the Malibu Sands Country Club. This, coupled with several references to the teens saying there were 16 throughout Season 3, suggests that Zack turned 17 near the end of Season 3. Logically, this means he should have turned 18 just after graduating from high school in the original Saved By The Bell finale.
