Saved By The Bell reboot has finally got it's leading lady. Transgender actress Josie Totah will be leading the show which will air on Peacock streaming service. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Josie will play Lexi, "a beautiful, sharp-tongued cheerleader and the most popular girl at Bayside High who is both admired and feared by her fellow students".
