At the heart of Bayside High School, Mr. Belding, portrayed by Dennis Haskins, remained as the constant and beloved principal that fans remember from its predecessor.

The original cast of season one included the talented Robert Sutherland Telfer, Jonathan Angel, Isaac Lidsky, Natalia Cigliuti, Bianca Lawson, and Bonnie Russavage.

This unique approach allowed for a more dynamic and evolving storyline, which captivated audiences and kept them engaged.
Despite its critical reception being mixed, "Saved by the Bell: The New Class" still managed to resonate with fans who preferred the new direction of the series.
