Jeff Cardoni (Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, Silicon Valley, CSI Miami, Just Friends) has been tapped to score the upcoming Peacock original series Saved by the Bell. The show is developed by Tracey Wigfield inspired by the classic 80s/90s sitcom of the same name and stars original cast members Elizabeth Berkley, Mario Lopez, Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Tiffani Thiessen, as well as new cast additions Dexter Darden, Josie Totah, Haskiri Velazquez, Mitchell Hoog, Alycia Pascual-Pena, Belmont Cameli and John Michael Higgins. The comedy revolves around a new group of California low-income high school students who are transferred to Pacific Palisades’ wealthy Bayside High. Wigfield is also executive producing the Universal Television production with Peter Engel (who also produced the original series) and Franco Bario. Saved by the Bell is expected to premiere this fall on Peacock.
Cardoni’s other recent projects include the third season of A.P. Bio, which will premiere this Thursday, September 3 on Peacock, the second season of L.A.’s Finest, which is premiering on September 9 on Spectrum, ABC’s United We Fall, which just finished its first season run, as well as the psychological thriller Paradise Cove. The composer is also set to return to score new seasons of Netflix’s The Kominsky Method and CBS’ Young Sheldon. He also recently released a solo album, Nuovo Futuro, which is now available to download and stream on all major digital music services.
