Sounds like Zack Morris will return to Bayside High, after all.

After saying publicly that they had not been approached to reprise his role on the upcoming streaming reboot of Saved by the Bell, Mark-Paul Gosselaar is now suggesting that he and his former co-star Tiffani Thiessen might appear on the show in one form or another.

"Everybody can sleep well at night," Gosselaar told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette this week. "It looks like you will have us in some capacity."

A spokesperson for Peacock did not immediately return TheWrap's request for comment.

Gosselaar currently stars on ABC's mixed-ish, which precludes him from returning to the show in a series regular capacity, but he and Thiessen could potentially make a guest appearance on the reboot once it premieres. They would join original cast members Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley, who are already confirmed to reprise their roles as A.C. Slater and Jessie Spano.

Announced last fall as one of the original scripted programs that will run on NBCUniversal's forthcoming streaming service Peacock, Saved by the Bell will center on a new generation of kids at the show's central Bayside High nearly three decades later. According to the series logline, Gosselaar's character has since graduated and moved on to the California governor's office within the world of the show.

Champions alum Josie Totah will star on the show as Lexi, "the most popular girl at Bayside High who is both admired and feared by her fellow students." Pitch Perfect alum John Michael Higgins will play Principal Toddman, the successor to Bayside High School Principal Richard Belding, played by Dennis Haskins in the original series.

The reboot hails from Universal Television and will be written and executive produced by Tracey Wigfield. Peter Engel and Franco Bario, alums of the original Saved by the Bell and its spinoffs, will also serve as executive producers.
