Mark-Paul Gosselaar is reportedly still in talks to reprise his role of Zack, while Slater and Jessie will reappear as parents of a new generation of Bayside students.
It's currently unclear if any other original characters will appear in the revival from 30 Rock writer/producer Tracey Wigfield.
Will Belding (Dennis Haskins) be back? How does Screech (Dustin Diamond) play into all of this? And is Zack still married to Kelly Kapowski (Tiffani-Amber Thiessen)?
