In the show "Saved By The Bell" why are there more high school episodes after the characters graduate?

Question

I watched the show "Saved by the Bell" a lot and saw all the episodes

At the end of the high school part, Zach and the gang (including kelly and Jessie) graduated high school. Then, in the next episode, some sort of new season, Zach is back in high school with Lisa and Screech (but not everyone) and a new girl named Tori. Why is the gang back in high school even after graduating?

Answer 1

In the show's final season, NBC doubled the number of episodes ordered, despite the fact that they would have to re-sign the entire cast to new contracts in order to film them. Thiessen and Berkley refused to sign a new contract for these new episodes, resulting in a block of episodes that feature a new character, Tori Scott (Leanna Creel) in their place. Thiessen would return for several final episodes under a deal that she made with NBC which included several made-for-TV movies that the actress would star in.

The character of Tori Scott (Leanna Creel) was added in later episodes as an annoyance and later girlfriend for Zack. She was meant to be a replacement for Kelly and Jessie during their senior year after Thiessen (Kelly) and Berkley (Jessie) left the show.

However, the last episode of the show featured the gang graduating with Kelly and Jessie while Tori was neither seen nor mentioned. This is due to the fact that the graduation episode was shot earlier with Kelly and Jessie, but the network ordered more episodes. At that point, Thiessen (Kelly) and Berkley (Jessie) had already left the show; hence the need for a new love interest for Zack. Due to the "Tori Episodes", the gang actually had two final senior proms.
