Saved By the Bell will welcome a principal to Bayside. The revival of the classic TV comedy will feature veteran character actor John Michael Higgins in the role as Principal Toddman, Bayside High’s newest school administrator, TV Line reports. The new character is the successor to Principal Belding, played by Dennis Haskins, in the original sitcom.
According to TV Line, Higgins’ character will be the victim of pranks by his school’s entitled students and constantly screamed at by their wealthy parents. But when Bayside gets an influx of low-income new students, it paves the way for change at Principal Toddman’s school.
On Twitter, fans of the original series were not happy that Haskin’s Mr. Belding has been “retired” from Saved by the Bell.
“If they insist on doing this sh*tty idea at least let Mr. Belding earn a paycheck,” one fan tweeted of the revival series.
