Deadline is reporting that Saved By the Bell and Beverly Hills, 90210 star Tiffani Thiessen has signed on to star in Alexa & Katie, a new multi-camera comedy from Netflix which is being headlined by Paris Berelc (Mighty Med) and newcomer Isabel May.
Created by Heather Wordham, Alexa & Katie revolves around two lifelong best friends Alexa (Berelc) and Katie (May), who are eagerly anticipating the start of their freshman year of high school. The friends confront a crisis that leaves them feeling like outsiders at a time when what seems to matter most is fitting in. Thiessen is set to play Lori, the determined and protective mother of Alexa.
Alexa & Katie has a 13-episode straight-to-series order from Netflix, and is slated to hit the streaming service in 2018.
