Your First Look At Lifetime's 'Saved By The Bell' Movie (VIDEO)

WATCH: 5 Things We Learned From The 'Saved By The Bell Movie'
|

Over 20 years have passed since the last episode of "Saved by The Bell," but fans who grew up with the sitcom can soon relive the days back when Zack, Kelly, A.C., Jessie, Lisa and Screech were one of television's favourite clique.

But if you're looking to relive the glory days of "Saved by The Bell", Lifetime's "The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story" movie might not be what you're expecting.

Back in June, Lifetime announced it was producing a TV movie based on a behind-the-scenes look at what happened when the cameras weren't rolling, according to BuzzFeed. Based on Dustin Diamond's book, Behind the Bell, the film paints a grim picture of the in-fighting that went on between the former teen stars.

Now the first clips have made their way online and if they're an indication of anything, NBC's often light-hearted comedy was ripe with drama.

For starters, Diamond, who played Samuel "Screech" Powers on the show, claims the rest of the cast used drugs and partook in threesomes. Though, it should be noted, Diamond's the only one with a public sex tape among the group.

While most of his former colleagues have yet to comment on the allegations, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, who played Zack Morris, said he had a very different recount of what happened on set.

You can watch "The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story" come Sept. 1 at 9 p.m. ET on Lifetime.

"Saved By The Bell": Where Are They Now?
Tiffani Thiessen (Kelly Kapowski)(01 of07)

Bayside's resident cheerleader probably wasn't shaking her pom-poms when her roles mostly consisted of TV movies and some TV series pinch-hitting -- joining the casts in later seasons of "Beverly Hills, 90210," "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place" and "What About Brian." But it was her scantily-clad role as Honey DeLune in 2000's "The Ladies Man" -- one of the worst of the "Saturday Night Live" skits-turned-movies -- that's the real dark spot. Thank goodness she's found her footing on USA's "White Collar." (credit:Alice S. Hall/NBCU Photo Bank)

What's the fastest way to shed your teen heartthrob image? Play a college rapist. At least that's what MPG did when his "Saved By The Bell" stint was over. The actor starred alongside fellow teen idol and "Full House" alum Candace Cameron in the 1996 made-for-TV movie "She Cried No." Fans didn't stop worrying about his decision-making skills until he became one of the good guys again and joined "NYPD Blue" several years later. These days, he's playing attorney Peter Bash on TNT's "Franklin & Bash." (credit:Alice S. Hall/NBCU Photo Bank)

Mario Lopez went from being the hit of mall tours as jock A.C. Slater to playing diver Greg Louganis in a made-for-TV movie, a beach bike cop in "Pacific Blue," a doctor on "The Bold and the Beautiful" and a super-kinky MD on "Nip/Tuck." But it's his current gig hosting "Extra" -- which ironically shoots at a mall in L.A. -- that makes his full-circle story a bit cringe-worthy.

Elizabeth Berkley (Jesse Spano)(04 of07)

Much like the extreme route MPG took to erase his clean-cut image from "Saved By The Bell," Elizabeth Berkley went from brainy Jesse Spano to taking it all off to play a stripper -- excuse us, exotic dancer -- for "Showgirls," one of the best worst movies ever made. The mother of one and animal rights activist hasn't appeared on screen in a couple of years, but she did set up a self-help program and website for teen girls called Ask-Elizabeth after her husband commented on the number of young women who came to her asking for advice.

Dustin Diamond (Screech Powers)(05 of07)

Dustin Diamond has had quite a long resume, full of roles playing himself since he lovingly annoyed us all as Screech Powers, but that's probably because he couldn't shake the character he played for so many years on "Saved By The Bell" and all of its spin-offs. Money problems, legal issues and a porno later, it's still his s***-starting stint on "Celebrity Fit Club" that truly tarnished his image. However, Diamond is currently working on a few independent films, including "Hamlet A.D.D.," a reimagining of Shakespeare's play. (credit:Paul Drinkwater/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images)
Lark Voorhies (Lisa Turtle)(06 of07)

Lark Voorhies became a daytime diva, starring on "Days of Our Lives" and "Bold and the Beautiful," where she sadly never overlapped with Mario Lopez. But after playing fashionista Lisa Turtle for so many years, it was her odd appearance in a 2012 interview that got Voorhies the most attention since her Bayside High days and caused her to admit that she's been struggling with bipolar disorder.

Dennis Haskins (Richard Belding)(07 of07)

Dennis Haskins’ post-"Saved by the Bell" resume is full of questionable credits -- did Mr. Belding really need to be there for "SBTB" movies "Hawaiian Style," "Wedding in Las Vegas" and "The College Years" spinoff? Wasn't "The New Class" enough? But it's his 2009 karaoke CD, based on his reputation for frequenting an L.A. karaoke bar and capitalizing on his Bayside High character, that caused the most concern. Haskins has returned to his TV roots in recent years, appearing on "How I Met Your Mother" and "Mad Men" ... albeit in the role of Cool Whip Test kitchen scientist, but we'll take it.
