The movie is a behind the scenes look at the 1990s kids TV show, partly based on a [heavily disputed](http://www.thewrap.com/dustin-diamond-celebrity-fit-club-behind-the-bell-screen-saved-by-the-bell-huffpost-live/ "undefined") memoir written by Dustin Diamond, who played Screech, and focusing on the growing pains of the young _Saved by the Bell_ actors as they mature both onscreen and off. Watch out for some raging hormones and big egos. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3136499/saved-by-the-bell-biopic-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3136499/saved-by-the-bell-biopic-trailer/"},"headline":"Take a Trip Back to the '90s With Saved By The Bell Biopic's First Trailer","datePublished":"2014-08-18T16:16:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:43:27.056Z","description":"Lifetime drama takes a behind-the-scenes look at making of '90s kids show","url":"https://time.com/3136499/saved-by-the-bell-biopic-trailer/","keywords":["Television","movies","Lifetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Charlotte Alter","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/charlotte-alter/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3136499/saved-by-the-bell-biopic-trailer/","name":"Take a Trip Back to the '90s With Saved By The Bell Biopic's First Trailer"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story: Sneak Peak at Cast Photo Shoot","description":"The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story: Sneak Peak at Cast Photo Shoot","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fA1NBpcv/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-08-18T18:05:07.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fA1NBpcv.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3136499/saved-by-the-bell-biopic-trailer/","duration":"PT2M33S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3136499/saved-by-the-bell-biopic-trailer/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
